I did promise to put up some photos of my friends' vege garden in Stanthorpe. They live on a mostly bush block with a cleared area around the house, a creek at the bottom of the property & a HUGE granite outcrop on one side. Plenty of space for veges, chooks & kids.
 |
| Wide view of the vege garden. Fenced for the usual offenders (wallabies, rabbits, pet dog, etc) |
 |
| The chickens going through the 'tunnel' from their house to the run. |
 |
| A rotated view of an orchid in the bush area down the back of the block. |
 |
| Various Irises in the "Fairy Garden" - their bathtub is located in this area - Yes, it really is outdoors. The kids loved it! |
 |
| No Fairy Garden would be complete without Foxgloves! |
 |
| Onions & friends - plus two other beds. |
 |
| Lettuces and friends. |
 |
| The mushrooms growing in the purchase spent mushroom compost. They made a great addition to dinner! Broad beans can be seen behind. |
 |
| Yet another glorious vegetable bed. I'm told the carrots never get terribly big - the kids eat them before they get the chance. |
 |
| Another view of the onions. |
 |
| A cage made from recycled materials - protecting the delicate seedlings. |
It is so long since I wrote that I have much more to fill you in on. But I'll just have to do it a bit at a time. Need to take some more photos.
And Christmas is coming - another reason I haven't updated you recently, I've been spending my time shopping online for the last few things, and creating the annual family calendar.
Take care & bye for now, but before I go....
.....a couple more of the chickens.
