We have one in the making at home and filled the beds with a con- gravel mix. Also applied for one through a grant for the Yandina permaculture gardens. Would appreciate shaing some of your own experience so we can learn from you how and avoid pitfalls. Thanks,<BR/>Elisabeth Fekoniaelisabeth fekoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182475203500566659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-7032285442258061042007-08-12T20:15:00.000+10:002007-08-12T20:15:00.000+10:00OH I am so envious of your mild winter!!!!! how wo...OH I am so envious of your mild winter!!!!! how wonderful! to even think about cucumbers in August!!!! Here we have an abundance of leeks, taties, stored pumpkins onions and garlic, spinnach, silver beets, kales, broccoli, nettles and rocket. IN the glass house- lettuce, tatsoi and baby spinnach, but TOMATOES!!! it is incredible! Everyting is GROWING, rather than just sitting waiting for sping.

This is my first attempt at vegie gardening. At least something grew so I'm encouraged to keep trying.<BR/><BR/>We just bought in a load of compost for our second vegie garden plot so fingers crossed this one will do a bit better.<BR/><BR/>Winter probably wasn't the best time to make my first attempt to grow something. :-) <BR/><BR/>I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it though - in the past I've always thought gardening was a bit too boring and overwhelming. Helps that I'm not going out as much as I used to so I have more time to potter in the garden.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading more about what's happening in your garden.lighteninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469704721683347931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-43094608112975094142007-08-12T09:23:00.000+10:002007-08-12T09:23:00.000+10:00Your garden looks great :) I am definitely going t...Your garden looks great :) I am definitely going to try growing some of my own veggies this year. The snow peas look great and we all love eating them. They will definitely be on my list of things to try growing this year. My bok choy are nearly ready for harvest too :)Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066863074405512584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-76763878847955031852007-08-12T09:16:00.000+10:002007-08-12T09:16:00.000+10:00Gee Rhonda your garden looks so lush.

I wish my garden looked more like yours!<BR/>Cheers<BR/>KirstyBroad Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16639698248639623386noreply@blogger.com
