Lovely display chookie :)

Thanks chookie & jamberie re wicking. We dug up lots of dead veg last weekend & today planting more. It looks like a great udea, something to consider, but a lot of work.

Hoping ts going to be cooler now so the veg patch survives :)

A beautiful display Chookie. Bedlam I am fascinated by drawn thread work. I tried to do it when I was younger without much success.

Thanks for the kind remarks.  I also love old linen.  Still have most of both my grandparent linen.    Did a lot of all sorts of embroidery when I was young.   Quite a lot of drawn thread work.  .

After the zucchini and bean harvest started to slow down, I pulled them all out yesterday and today started planting kale, silverbeet, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts and radishes...Does anyone have any tips on keeping the moths away???

Jam, shouldn't be too many moths around,  now that it is cooler.
Planted 2 blueberry bushes and a Josterberry.  Have lettuce, kale and small cabbages.  Onions and Cauliflower. Silver beet still growing and have planted more. Parsley and Tumeric.

This isn't edible but I thought I would share as it is so pretty. It smells, actually stinks, and attracts blow flies and ants.

I hope it then eats them Cookie otherwise it really has no purpose in the garden.
