Up but not quite running.....

WOO HOO !!!!!

  Finished the last Bed yesterday... 
**Does Happy Dance**
It is shorter than was first planed but we now have extra space for a seat/storage box/workbench as well as a few chairs... I now have 3 beds to plant out.... Just need to work out what goes well with what...
 Saturday....
    Was a busy day today with a break in the showers so I decided to mow the lawn, fix up some dodgy paving, & put up some scratch barriers on the Chook yard... They went onto the fence & gate to stop them from spreading their straw onto the walkways...


Update Pictures.....


The Zucchinis (left) are coming on great & we are using the Kale a lot more now we know how we like to cook it...
The Snowpea/Cabbage bed (Right) is still going well... Hoping to get at least 2 more meals from the Broccoli before we pull them this week...


Honey Pod Peas & Thai Egg plant (left) are flowering furiously as is the Mini Roma Tomatoes (Right).... We should be harvesting some of  the Peas later this week....The Pumpkins in the bed at the back are doing well.. We will plant some Kent seeds just to make sure we have heaps to see us through next winter...

The Carrot, Lettuce & Beetroot bed (Left) are going great guns... We have been picking lettuce & beetroot leaves all week for salads.. Koo's Strawberries in the barrel (right) have heaps of fruit on... We have been picking the Silverbeet regularly for ourselves & for friends......


The Back yard looks good after being mowed.... Has been a tad wet lately so was happy to have a few dry hours today to give it a quick trim...
The picture to the Right is of the neighbours Blood Grapefruit tree.... I have never seen that many flowers on it before & though it looks rather spectacular....

That's about it for now me thinks....

Have a Great one all......

  1. Love your wicking beds. We are in the process of making some of these at the moment. Cant wait to try them out as we live in a very dry area and growing vegies can be a struggle.
