He knows me so well. I relocated my herb pots and made little terrarium s for them instead, the poor things were decimated in the frost the other day.

What a great garden that is going to be Chookie, in time it will keep you both very busy and completely self-sufficient I would think.

Thanks Judy and CC.  I have already planted 7 of the beds and have mini cabbages and Asparagus crowns ready to go.

What an awesome looking garden. It will be a pleasure to work in it.

Thanks again girls. My gardening skills are pretty awful. But I have lots of friends who give great advice . It truly amazes me that things grow here as we are cold climate and the soil is fine mountain soil with not much nutrient . We have to add lots of chook litter and compost.
