So lazy...but here's the update!

I've been completing a Permaculture Design Certificate with Forest Edge Permaculture and every week my teacher never fails to blow my mind! I have been so inspired and excited to be a part of a revolution that with hopefully one day take over the world...it'll have to to survive!
What I have done that is really important is-
Installed a water tank (we got some awesome rain)
Started growing dynamic accumulators that will encourage diversity and nutrient take-up in plants.
Mulched the crap out of everything.
Erected trellises for shade and extra growing space in the veggie garden.
Experimenting with new and unusual heirloom vegetables...especially tomatoes!
I now have around 25 varieties of tomato, and only 15 in the ground...I need more ground!
I have some new water-saving devices, and this weekend I am making compost tea...delicious :o)

Sorry about all of the exclamation marks, I love my life!

Spring Lamb!


Not of the eating kind...this sweet pea is staying at our house until she's big and strong!

It's getting warmer.

Ahh...the greenery!
These broads are tall!
Silverbeet artichoke, lettuce oh my!
Lettuce is delicious and prolific
Broccoli is cranking!

Look what popped out of the ground...

Then I made this...


Mmmm....beetroot, pea and broadbean salad.

Lazy lazy blogger

I have been on school holidays, lots of pottering, winter garden clean-ups and a new picket fence have happened...I'll post pics soon!

Back at school trying to squeeze in some garden week-day time, hopefully it'll start to get lighter soon!
