Vegie garden goodies

My neighbours have a fantastic vegetable garden. One i wouldn't mind playing in lol

The last 2 nights as they've been going about their nightly chores in the garden they've passed over the fence some wholesome homegrown vegies. Silverbeet, pumpkin and carrots. I've had to be quick in getting them off the kids as they like to sample fresh produce straight from the garden! In return for the harvest, i've given some vegie seeds to replenish their already overflowing beds.

I can't wait to get my fruit and veg garden built and producing. The soil here is crap to say the least lol so no planting direct into the ground until we start working to get it up to scratch. Hubby will have to get creative and build some more planter boxes and a trip to the local rubbish tip to find an old rainwater tank or something similar will do the trick too.

We're going to ask the local duck farmer if we can have a trailer load of duck castings and i'll scout around at other farms for old hay for mulch and other types of manure. I'm all for recycling and bartering :)

Until next time
How does your garden grow?
