Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

[KarenH]

Thanks Bess!  Will give it a go.

We too are enjoying the produce growing in our own back yard.....and I am making the most of it all before Mr Jack Frost appears. 

Tomatoes, zucchinis, spring onions, habenero chillies, chives, rosemary, apples & lemons all in abundance ATM.

Planted my garlic yesterday.  May be a bit early, but I don't know when I will get a chance later in the season.

All of your gardens sound so productive, I am, as usual, very jealous of you all.

Have you got any photos of your wicking beds yet, Chookie?  Still very interested in the concept, just trying to persuade DH that they really are worth following up.

Astarra, glad you are enjoying all the goodies from your garden.
Marina, raised bed seem to be very good here. The rabbits and wombats can't get at them.  We will be interested to see if our wicking beds are as good or better.  They are a lot of work setting up but should provide most of our greens for the year.   Will take some photos.

Everything we grow is precious and we try and use or preserve every small thing.  Today I am roasting cherry toms, leek and garlic.  I will freeze the result to use in soup .

Finally got around to taking photo.
In the foreground is the raised bed that was set up with help from the WOOFERS. We have been eating from this bed continually for 2 years.
I have planted one wicking bed with Asian Veggies, coriander, broccoli, chives , lettuce and Kale.

I wish I'd gone for a walk with you and DD Chookie, I'd love to have seen your garden.  How good does that look.

It looks amazing Chookie. I think you've chosen some great plants for wicking beds, I can't wait to hear what you think of it as time goes on
