Wallaby

I took some cuttings of plants I wanted to take & put the polystyrene boxes out. The wallaby is checking them out & having the odd munch here & there.

Spot the kookaburra

The kookaburra is waiting to pounce in this early morning shot - I'm always amazed when they make a single swoop & dig something out from under the ground. How do they do that?

These pictures came in the opposite order to what I expected.

I have to find out how to publish reader's posts on my blog.

Amazing how kind people are. You have to look hard to find the kookaburra in this piccie.

Winter garden

Enjoy my winter veggie garden. I'm not really growing milk containers - They make great protection for baby plants till they find their feet. From left cauliflower, capsicum in milk container, self seeded tomatoes, staked with self seeded lettuce, silverbeet, blue kale, miniature capsicums another baby capsicum and baby artichoke.

Asparagus declares it is spring

This asparagus spear has snuck up on me - I've finally had it long enough that I can start to pick the asparagus and we've put the house on the market - I must have asparagused the whole of NSW. I'll need to pick this one today or it will turn into a fern. I can keep picking all the spears that emerge for a couple of months before I let any grow into ferns. Lady with an asparagus farm told me to cut new shoots under the ground. Now I've had this plant in for five years I can cut about as much as I want to.

So asparagus, silverbeet, broccoli, cauliflower, nasturtium, rocket and lettuce, capsicums and chillis, various herbs and a few varieties of lettuce.

Bon appetit

Baby Cauliflower

Minature cauliflower - guess it's time to pick it as the floweret is starting to open up. It's just so pretty - but soon it will be cream of cauliflower soup.

Love this tropical outlook - spoiled rotten really

Garden by Gaia - weeding by me

One of the reasons I love my garden is that the whole structure has been designed by mother nature - my only role has been to remove the rubbish and plant some ground covers.
