Not a lot coming out of my veggie patches now. But in the short time I have had my raised veggie gardens we produced Zucchinis , cucumbers, lettuce, silver beet, spring onions and leek. :)

Well Dh planted out some cauliflower, broccoli, silverbeet and Kale plants on Sunday morning, this morning he went out to water the plants and there was not one left.  They had all been eaten off to ground level and you could only just see where they had been planted.   Looks like we have a bunny in the vegie garden, I guess soon to be a dead bunny  ???

Naughty bunny.  this is why we missed out on the Spring planting this last season.  Wombat made several holes in fence and rabbits and wallaby could get in. Filled holes with tin.  Now we can plant up.  Wombat has baby,  very cute.  I have sme good recipes for bunny,  if you are interested. ;D

great weather here today, hopefully be able to plant more in my vege garden Saturday.

Lots of new seeds in now, and a huge organic range. :D

Happened to look up at one the trees out back and there are 3 big cocoons on the branches.
I don't know whether to get DH to chop them down or see what emerges from them?
Anyone know what might be inside?

Looks like a Casemoth.  Has a grub inside.  Not nasty.
