On this blustery autumn day, the veggie patch took shape as 3 cubic metres of rather smelly, highly fertile, organic garden soil was delivered and shoveled into the vacant beds. A new side bed was also created. I am absolutely thrilled about the progress, and next weeks planting out and sowing of seeds can't come soon enough. I know, spoken like a true gardening fanatic :)
Take a look at today's pics...
This is what nearly $200 buys you- 3 cubic metres of dirt. Small investment when you consider how many families will benefit from the produce that will grow here.
Paul and Shane did their usual, phenomenal effort today.
Here, hubby is creating the new narrow side bed, which will be perfect for mint and coriander.
And here is the bed, lined and filled ready for planting.
Hubby cut pavers to fit into the fiddly gaps.
Today, we have also discovered the playground may be going soon. I'm happy- more sun on my garden!
Paul set this trellis into the ground in the perfect spot for tomatoes.
Paul doing a brilliant job cleaning up excess soil.
The trellis leaning on the wall will be attached with stakes hopefully by next week.
And here it is, the blank canvas veggie garden!
I even have a big pot ready for a dwarf lemon tree, and bathtubs filled ready for herbs.
I am genuinely thrilled about the progress, and so grateful for our hard working team.
Over the next couple of weeks, staggered planting and sowing will happen, guaranteeing crops that don't all mature in one go. Anyone for 3 million kilos of zucchini...
Watch this space- more to come soon!
As always, thanks for reading :)
