Planted 3x custard apple trees about 1 year old, horse radish, Jerusalem Artichokes, wormwood, 2x Rosemary Have 1 x canna edulus up, 2x turmeric up, 1x ginger up and 3 more horseradish up - these all in containers. Bought 150 onion sets last week for R100 and planted them. I cut their leaves down to just above the junction and freeze them. This gives you the green onion tops. As the onions grow we cut the tops for our kitchen. Raw in salads or cook in food. Good flavour. The onion bulbs themselves are a bonus when matured for harvesting. Same with sweet potatoes. Cut the greens to cook like cabbage/spinach. One 🍠 sweet potato can give you months of greens instead of just 1 tuber. I planted about 15 potatoes and 2 sprouted bulbs of garlic this morning. Want to see how they do in this new bed in afternoon shade. Have been unsuccessful everywhere else in the garden.
