Around The Vegie Garden...

 We are finally growing so veggies 
woohoo
beetroot
kale and carrots
 mixed silverbeet
 bok choi and lettuce
 cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower
this is where I had been putting all the kitchen scraps while waiting to get organised
now I have tomatoes, rockmelon, capsicums 
and a cucumber growing
some of them will die off as it gets cooler
and
I have been feeding some to my ''woolie chooks'' (pet sheep)
 the herb bed
rosemary, sage, parsley, marjoram, thyme, oregano
and rhubarb...
I do have radishes and sugar snap peas in 
but I mustn't of taken a photo of them...
so nice to be growing veggies again...
and my do they grow quickly and well down here...
when we came the soil was just like plain old sand, didn't hold any water...
now that we have add heaps of hay, sheep poo and other bought manure, sand to soil mix the ground is getting better... even the earthworms have come...

The Cubby House...

The last time hubby went away for work I did this
 a little bit of painting
 got rid of the pink (three little girls lived here before)
now we have this...
                                                     
 and one wall is a chalk board for budding artists
solar fairy lights (which need rehanging)
comfy floor mats
lovely soft yellow walls
all we need are some little visitors...
Oh and some more things to play with (look out ebay)
