I have borrowed the Kitchen Garden book from the library & the gardens are very inspirational. There is a little old couple from WA in the book that have meat rabbits on their house block, as well as a great big polytunnel. I would love to see their garden - I am sure they could teach us all heaps.

The health aspect of eating your own produce is incomparable. My jasmine has come out this week and that is the smell that lets me know spring is here. Love it.<br />VickixxVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562932795668029251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-54429476774646649042011-08-16T13:53:18.750+10:002011-08-16T13:53:18.750+10:00I love your garden photos.

They are so inspirational.<br /><br />I have a great little sunny spot and try to garden there, but it is under pine trees :( Though I compost all veggie scraps, egg shells, etc., it is quite acidic. And whenever it's windy, the leaves are pelted with holes from the pine needles. Some things fail miserably, but have great sunchokes, oregano, and okra if you feed it weekly. Should try blueberries - they like acid.<br /><br />brenda from arkansasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-1042003411367319102011-08-16T12:16:18.138+10:002011-08-16T12:16:18.138+10:00What a beautiful, productive garden you have.

I have two large plots away from the house and a small herb patch right near my back door. I love opening the curtains each morning to see my little herbs standing tall and getting bigger each day.

A real credit to Hanno and yourself for your hardwork to take a bare piece of earth and create nourishing, tasty and healthy produce. I cannot wait for our weather to warm into spring so I can start working on my summer planting, although in saying that, I have just had my first ever cauliflower head form :) I certainly will be referring back to your gardening posts along the way for inspiration :)MrsW - Smell the Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817977178332311994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39332983451813445502011-08-16T08:21:37.794+10:002011-08-16T08:21:37.794+10:00What a brilliant garden you have.

It's always windy to some degree here and we've had to stake and wire tomatoes before so they didn't end up flat on the ground.<br />Our hens are self replenishing at the moment as miss bantam cross hatched 12 chickens out of 18 eggs a couple of days ago. I must take a photo while they are still small and fluffy - if she doesn't try to peck me to death! The cats don't dare to look at the chicks because mum is such a ball of fire and very quick. I do hope there aren't too many roosters amongst this lot :(.<br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-41310027660210748412011-08-16T08:00:17.653+10:002011-08-16T08:00:17.653+10:00Thanks for showing us your garden.

I am so jealous. Although I suppose I do enjoy the forced rest I get in our Michigan winters. It just makes the summer garden that much more important.
