I just cried with joy.. again. I'm all emotional. ::smile:: ::smile:: ::smile:: I'm just giving stuff a go - anyone can do it i they want to

Today I decided that I was going to do more gardening - not really surprising is it :) I decided I was going to make more garden beds for more vegies and get a half wine barrel for my horseradish to grow in. I ended up buying some sweet corn, capsicums, zucchini and spring onions Here is the finishe...

I've had a productive weekend in the garden Yesterday I built a wire frame/arch over the top of my chicken coop to grow Star Jasmine over it to provide the chicken coop with some much needed shade - oh and it smells AWESOME! Last weekend I set out to build it but had a bit of a setback when one of t...

I just cried a little bit. Was that a good or bad cry?

I have my master bedroom on the same zone as the living areas

That sounds great Happy Camper! I like the idea of the old fish tank too, that's clever indeed! I'm in two minds now do I plant some more seeds for zucchini's and other things or just buy some seedlings? I'm wondering if I've left it too late, I might just do some seeds and see how they go. I'm also...

My tomatoes are finally planted! I had the day off work yesterday which gave me some time out in the garden. I had to fork over the whole area and pull all the weeds out which took about an hour to do and then plant the tomato seedlings in their paper pots. I then covered them all with milk cartons ...

Thanks Guys :D I love the patch, and once things are planted it doesn't take that much maintenance but when you see everything growing and producing you want to check it out most days anyway. Or at least I find I do

Good news then bad news... In the local paper, Woolworths stated a plan to commence development on the Mernda town precinct starting 2012 and finishing 2013.. 2 supermarkets, Masters, Big W etc etc.... Unfortunately, in the latest council meeting minutes, this plan was rejected by council on the gr...

Warning: *unpopular answer below* ::stop:: Are they really using that much water - water costs between $1.28 and $2.28 per kilolitre (first x amount at lower price in SA) and our household with a medium size garden used 56 kl last quarter - so extrapolating from that, the builders of a house next d...

Thanks Fu - I figure the best way to learn is to jump in! Regardless of what you plant there will always be things that work and things that don't - that's just life so why not just give it a go! :D I got some tomato seeds last week including some cherry tom's that I'm going to plant shortly in hang...
