Who needs basil or chillies? What am I going to do with all of this?! I already have loads of pesto in the freezer. Thinking of a basil dip, basil and chilli chicken, basil and chilli butter,....what else?

Sweet Chilli sauce keeps for ages.  Love the recipe on here.  
DS gave me a hand ,  have now prepared 1/2 the beds.  Bought some seedlings,  lettuce, broccoli and sugar snap peas to plant.  We dug. The beds over,  removed most of the weeds ,  covered with newspaper and the a rough layer of chook poop. Might get a load of cow manure from garden Center and spread over chook poop.  Icut a hole through the manure and paper to plant.

That's quite some vegetable patch you have there, Chookie! It must be very satisfying when you harvest those crops ! :)

That's a huge veggie garden Chookie, certainly would keep you busy attending those beds but the reward of home grown vegies would make up for it.

Michele, GF and Judy,  love my veggie patch but without help it is slowly becoming a bit much.  A bit(lot) of help a couple of times a year and it is fine,  but I would like to spend all this week there but baby sitting 3 GC for 4 days so this means no go this week.   we help DD and DS out with minding the GC a little during the school hols and they help us.  Fair swap.
I refuse to use any poison in the veggie garden so this means a lot more work.

What an amazing veggie patch. I can imagine it is hard work but the reward must be well worth it.
