M...You have some nice sunlight for veggies there :)<br />My time-lapse photography project (I took shots from the roof too) to judge the best areas for planting yielded some interesting results. Most surprising was the shadows cast by my fruit trees. At least now I feel more confident and ready to take full advantage of my light too.<br />On my mind is weed-whacking (a lot easier since I got a light electric one), replacing old crops with new and planning a passionfruit trellis.<br />I yearn for chooks too but unfortunately my 7 dachshunds are quite persistent hunters by nature and having a pack is double deadly. They have found ways and means of getting through all fencing attempts. I recently came across a site by someone with the same problem and they used an electric fence. I think I'd rather do without chooks.<br />Although the dogs have free range of the property, they tend to leave my veggies alone because most are in raised beds too tall for their little short legs :) and those too low are fenced in with a crisscrossing of sticks. This is a necessity because they absolutely just love sleeping in the beds. Don't know if its the padding or the heat generated by compost/mulch.<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend,<br />Vicki<br />Trinidad & TobagoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-43180274769587997652011-02-11T22:52:00.996+10:002011-02-11T22:52:00.996+10:00Hi Rhonda,
