The vegie garden finally in full swing

My vegie garden has been an ongoing saga for years. It is finally finished, except for some fine tuning, and 1 more garden bed.

You can see the carrots and the peas have done extremely well. And the basket in the front of the photo belonged to my Nanna, so the kids know it is precious as it was their great-great grandmother's, but is just right for collecting the eggs and a few vegies, just as my Nanna used it. It lives near the door and Georgie and James now remember to take it with them when they collect the eggs (their favourite activity over anything else on the farm). They love the chickens, and after the fox depleted our chookyard by digging
under the gate a few months ago, we restocked
before Christmas and now have over 2 dozen hens and chickens and 1 bantam rooster. The kids just love them.

The tomatoes have become enormous and are full of fruit.







The 2 cucumber plants have done themselves proud, along with the potatoes.

Tim and I like broadbeans, so I planted 4 seeds.
Just look at these!
Next to them are the sunflowers and the French
beans. The butternut pumkins are doing well.
The jap pumpkins are crossed off the list.

Finally, the wire fence is keeping the peacocks out of the vegie garden. Now to work on the blackbirds, the sparrows and the slugs!
