Everybody does,\u201d said one Aussie fellow to me when speaking about the Australian agriculture industry. \u201cChuck just about anything in the ground, it grows here,\u201d were his wise words to me that day about gardening down under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was originally published in 2008. It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content.\u00a0<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As it happened, I had indeed just planted some seedlings in a well-tilled patch of soil beside our cottage. Although I was eager to get things in the ground and growing (and producing wonderful fresh veggies all the sooner), I was warned that \u201cyou don\u2019t plant anything before Cup Weekend\u2026that\u2019s officially the time to start planting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Cup Weekend refers to the Melbourne Cup (held in early November), also known as \u201cThe Race that Stops a Nation\u201d. It is a horse race, and in true <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-afl-grand-final-an-australian-institution\/\">My Fair Lady<\/a> fashion, it is an event to see and place to be seen by everybody who thinks they are anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I wasn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">But my attendance at the Melbourne Cup is neither here nor there\u2026it is all about the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-5-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"My garden in Australia\" class=\"wp-image-257\" title=\"garden-5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-5-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-5.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After planting our initial reap of seedlings, I immediately wanted for more. \u201cWe forgot carrots! Oh \u2013 and how could we not have thought of green onions, or broccoli, or spinach for heaven\u2019s sake?\u201d I said no sooner than we had finished filling our garden with seedlings and were standing back in admiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Ah well; forgotten (or unavailable) veggies aside, we went with a nice mix of vegetables, some of which are already starting to produce, ahem, fruits of our labour. Or rather, veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-3-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"zucchini flower\" class=\"wp-image-258\" title=\"garden-3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Zucchinis are the first and most prolific of our plants to have produced an edible delight, their broad leaves having taken over the entire front section of our garden. But there is still room for the WAY too many chili pepper plants (what were we thinking?!), cucumbers (which are stunted from lack of proper sunlight \u2013 I am convinced they will be no more than 2 inches long at the height of their health), capsicum (which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/more-things-that-make-australia-unique\/\">Aussie<\/a> for green and red peppers), roma tomatoes (they are coming in and are just so darn cute), black Russian tomatoes, green beans, silver beet, sugar snap peas, onions, garlic, corn (a lost cause, the tops of which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/our-creepy-kangaroo\/\">Bracken<\/a> periodically bites off when he is miffed at us), and some sorry looking eggplant that I have been convinced is dead despite its slow and sickly tenacious growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-2-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"pepper plants - gardening down under\" class=\"wp-image-259\" title=\"garden-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-2-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Prior to gardening down under, I could not say I am somebody with a green thumb. And although I still think my thumbs are more purple than green, there has been an immense feeling of satisfaction in nurturing and watching our little garden grow. The ability to eat fresh food that you have been a part of from its infancy is incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/goodbye-hawaii\/\">Hawaii<\/a>, all we had to do was go for a walk in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/kipuka-the-sacred-forest\/\">Kipuka<\/a> and come out with armloads of avocados, citrus fruits, passion fruit, and a host of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/natural-foods-from-hawaii\/\">exotic fruits<\/a> and vegetables some of which I couldn\u2019t even identify prior to living there. Trees that had been planted and nurtured for a decade were only just starting to produce edible foods, a terrific reward for the owner of the property who invested his soul into the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And although just about everything grows in Australia (in one place or another; the north is tropical, and the south is temperate), we don\u2019t have ten years to watch a fruit tree mature. We are considerably more instant-gratification-minded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-4-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"pea flower\" class=\"wp-image-260\" title=\"garden-4\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-4-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/garden-4.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Which is why having a veggie garden is great for the impatient in all of us. You plant, and within two to three months, you are eating what you planted. Initially, I wondered if we had planted enough, but now I realize that once the garden starts kicking out some produce, we are likely to be overrun. This is a nice problem to have! I simply hope with the longer growing season here in Australia (November thru May), that these plants will continue to kick out edible delights for many months to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYou must have a little veggie patch at your place, don\u2019t you?
