Hello gosh its been awhile since I last bloggered.
Only recently we've been to Melbourne - well, 2hrs north of, had a lovely time. I've been doing a whole lot of growing - baby wise (currently 16weeks) I felt just too ill to write/do anything in the first trimester but am starting to feel better in the second :-) :-)
Here is a photo of the latest developments, its just starting to come along nicely. I'm in the process of building up flowering plants/herbs to attract all the beneficial insects. It feels like two steps forward and one step back with this dreaded cold snap we are experiencing, thankfully the vege beds are sheltered from this horrid wind.
I'm not going too mad this year and focusing on vege's we know how to grow. I'm going to build on the experience little by little each year :-)
I've planted so far (mostly from seed)
Strawberries
Tomatoes - cherry, oxheart and beefsteak
parsley
basil
spinach
silverbeet
carrots
spring onions
leeks
beetroot
beans - tall and dwarf
marigolds
cosmos
calendula
loads and loads of herbs
potatoes - Agria
cucumber
pumpkin - Jack Be Little
nasturtium's
The Chickens have been laying well, 3 a day from 4 hens. They are doing a wonderful job tilling in the alfala and pea :-)and of course supplying us with loads of poop.
I will post more pictures soon.
