I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Talk about a food forest!

I am in the veggie garden daily and I hadn't noticed what a jungle it had become till I saw The Cook picking some basil this afternoon...yes she can tell the difference between basil and capsicum now.  
Having a person in the picture provides a bit of perspective.  
Check this out!






Like many in this neck of the woods I am busy with my autumn plantings of winter vegies.  
I am squeezing them in where ever I can because the summer vegies are still doing their thing.
Unlike Phoebe at Ballynoe Cottage, I can't bring myself to pull them out yet!

    Your garden does look amazing. It's like being in the wilderness but with edible species I recognise. How do you find working with it? Does the wild component make it harder or easier? I am trialling a manadala design.

    Mmm what is the cook going to do with the basil, that's what I want to know... that is if she makes it out of the jungle alive! And here I though you had a "tamed" garden...

    What's the pretty pink flower?

    Better brush-up on your map-reading skills. you could easily get lost in that jungle!

    Careful the cook doesn't pick the fuchsia flowers instead :)

    I hope you have a navigator or GPS just in case. Ours like a jungle too and I don't have the heart to pull out the warm veggies. I have to ask somebody else to do it.
