http://talesfrombeyondthenook.blogspot.com which reminded me (thankyou Miss Scarlet) that I wanted to put together pics from our vegie patch & what we managed to produce in our small area. It is a work in progress as it was overgrown & full of weeds & rocks when we bought our house 2 years ago. Slowly but surely we're adding broken down poo & straw from our 5 lovely girls...

Here is some of what we managed to grow. As we don't use chemicals we had a few disasters in the first year, but gradually the good bugs are doing their work although there is still a nearly invisible tribe of grasshoppers who enjoy eating the basil...grasshopper pesto anyone?

| Mmmmmm....mulberries |

| Chook pen & vegie patch... |
 |
| Ravishing radishes... |
 |
| Pear-shaped zucchini... |
 |
| Chook bath...not technically a vegetable but they do tend to have pea-sized brains (at times)...hahaha    to pop up. Oh how I watched you grow & patiently waited while your hundreds of seeds grew plump & delicious..... Stay tuned to see the story unfold of what became of my glorious sunflower...did it become an oven-tray full of sizzling, roasting seeds? Or maybe some wonderful extra virgin sunflower oil??? |
