I recently had 10 days off and spent most of it around the yard cleaning up and weeding, mulching, preparing my raised garden beds. My garden is looking good with just a few veggie plants in (bit cold here still)
I also brought myself a worm garden which is brilliant for fertiliser for my garden, will be interesting to see if I notice a difference adding worm fertiliser after a few weeks. I have around 2000 worms and finding it hard to come up with names for them all :D

Good haul on tomatoes yesterday and these are the ones the kids didn't eat.

Checked on my veggie garden today and all my carrots seed that started to sprout have vanished  :( some pesky pest has stole them. Not happy, I will have to plant some more seeds now

Thanks Astarra :)
Although I don't think I would have rabbits in my garden as my dog wouldn't allow it. I'm guessing some kind of bug or something. I will have to try again.

We started our veggie garden last year & have lots growing. We just starting our spring planting more than doubled the size by adding 3 more raised beds/  At the moment it provides us with food 2 days a week & we have 1 chicken so far she gives us an egg every second day. I have 3 fruit tress, 2 grape vines & a few berry bushes but it will be some time before they give us fruit

Once your TM5 is delivered NM, just think of all the things you'll have on hand just out your back door.

At last our pineapple is ready to pick. We have had a couple of very warm days and it is now lovely and golden. The weight of the pineapple has caused it to bend right over into the rest of the garden. Chilled, fresh pineapple tonight or tomorrow night.
