* Eatable Garden Update *

Hows things in the garden ?
Lets have a look !

View from the house.

Cabbage, Endive and Kale growing slowly but steady.

The ramp around the terraced garden. Home made retaining wall made from corrugated iron and waratahs. Lets hope its earthquake proof !

From left to right: Buttercrunch lettuce, Cauliflower, Celery, Beetroot, Leek and Onion.

This is the NEW back end of the garden , the left side will be for vegetables and the right side will become a sitting area. The black planter box holds our strawberry plants. It took a lot of digging and removing stubborn weeds to get this cleared, yes we are still talking EXTREME gardening !

The crosses are the poles for the washing lines , no religious meaning at all !

Not a bad view , even on a shitty day like this ! Midwinter mind you... As you can see the retaining wall is held up by an old car bonnet and a wooden door and metal pipe that were all unearth in the digging process. Gefundenes fressen we should say.


The tools.

More garden updates soon, spring cant be far !
