-**Developments:**\\ 
-On Satuday 11 April (2009) we have started by sowing the seed mixture. We used about 50% more of the mixture than was advised, because you don't really see many seeds on the soil when your actually sowing. So let's see what happens..\\ 
- 
-On Tuesday 14 April the first minuscule sprouts have appeared! 
- 
-Sticking to a slow tempo is not easy, due to enthusiasm we've decided to already plant some small fruits this year. I've bought some Gooseberry, Blackcurrant and Raspberry. Jaques is looking for grapes. 
- 
-Tuesday 28 April: we're putting the fruits in the garden tonight. 
- 
-Thursday 28 May: Wietske and Cocky determined the wild herbs growing in the part of the garden that remained untouched by gardeners, results below. 
- 
-Saturday 30 May: Harvesting the wild herbs to make elixirs for our event.
