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!

Not a single veggie was had!

Nup!  Well almost!  
This winter the humans who live here 
ate some carrots and turnips and had one feed of silver beet
from this garden.


Bloody goats!
In their favour, they are doing a magnificent job at keeping the grass down on the creek bank and on the land between the back fence and the creek.  They are part of our fire plan and have saved us (and the next door neighbour) countless hours of mowing.

But today a fencing man is coming to give a quote.

I am also thinking of cutting down on the size of the vegetable patch and turning that netted area into an orchard.  It will have to be re-netted.  I am thinking dwarf and espaliered trees. With the existing back section, the greenhouse, a new bed on the north side of the greenhouse, and some container planting there will be plenty of room for veggies still.


I have to admit I am looking forward to the abundance of the summer garden!
