Spring is in the air

Lovely day here today so thought we would pop into our local shops and pick up a little something to celebrate the nice weather...




Introducing our new Baby Q :-)


Plus the additional bits of course..







I think we can also confirm that the Chickens have reached the "Ugly" stage. but you be the judge.






Fred's been working away on putting a sink into the van so we can get certified as self contained.


Gardens going great, Spinach and rocket doing their thing, and of the 6 tomato seedlings I planted, a whole 1 has survived (under the bottle)



This is the new garden on the other side. Currently home to some Broccoli, garlic and a row each of baby carrots, normal carrots and beetroot seedlings.


our first try at potatoes seems to be going alright, lots of growth in the last few weeks.



The pumpkin and watermelon are ready to hit the big garden


Second lot of seeds on the go, miniature cabbage and some replacement Tomatoes :-)



And third lot of seeds in last night. hopefully I will have some seedlings to give away from these last 2 lots


New gumboots


and just so she doesn't feel left out, I got Tahi a new bed :-)



Wow, no updates then two in a row!!

Garden

Soo, its only been 5 months since our last update but thought we would go ahead and do another one anyway :-)

In the garden tonight - Fred said that 6 Chilli plants was too many and bossing the spinich around so in the interest of building the spinich's self esteeme we culled 2 of the chili plants.
AND GOT 1 KG of CHILLI's OFF THEM!




Crazy.



Almost tempted to agree with Fred that 6 plants was too many.
Now... what to do with them....

Some more pics of our Urban Produce Patch

Spinich on this end with the surviving chilli plants next door




Basil, Beetroot and chillis





Leeks with crazy tomatoes behind (and over, and through)




Broccoli and the resident population of white fly


Carrots - finally at a decent size to eat!





Corn - better late than never



Grapes



And our 1 baby watermelon



Feeling full of green fingers and fums here. Loads of fun.

Now must go deal with those chillies...
