Garden Bed 1 Update - Snow Peas and Shelling Peas

The pretty pea flowers are finally here. They are looking so gorgeous and they greet me cheerfully every morning. Now the next exciting thing will be when we actually harvest some peas. 

These were planted in April in hope i can harvest some peas in winter. They are taking their time and we haven't got a single pea as yet.

This is how they were looking back on 18th April 2020. The shoots just started to appear:

On 1st July 2020, they grew significantly but still there was no flower:

And today (31st July 2020), we have flowers!!

There are also a few pea pods starting to form. Fingers crossed we'll have some peas soon:

Autumn Planting April Update - Snow Peas and Purple Garlic Shoots Emerging Autumn 2020

The long awaited moment had come. Most of the snow peas have sprouted and reached a good height. We had to rush and tied them to the pole with soft plant ties because of the strong wind in Melbourne 2 days ago. See my post here on making your own soft plant ties. 

The soft plant ties provide the much needed support while holding the plants gently and allowing them some space to grow thicker and taller.

On another note, the purple garlic bulbs that were planted a week ago are now showing their shoots.

This is my second attempt at growing garlic bulbs. I'm hopeful it will have higher success chance this time as I'm using this garden bed with soft soil.
