Wow Kyton. That is some garden you have. Love the raised garden beds.

DH bought home our newest garden edition today..... a dwarf banana tree. Interesting to see how it goes in Victoria!

Kimmy that sounds interesting - will be watching to see if it is fruitful.

Mmmm. Takes 2 to 3 years for fruit. Will have printed off a lot of banana recipes by then

Darn I have no patience LOL.

You must have needed a lot of soil to fill those garden beds Kylie - plenty of room there for a great garden. Would love to see another photo down the track when all the vegies have grown. Who has the green thumb in your house?

Judy - yep lots of dirt, lucky we own a tip truck LOL. My husband has a wonderful green thumb so he is the designated gardener.

Tell me Kylie, how does he plan to keep the soil full of goodness. I have found my raised garden bed lacks something and nothing is growing at the moment. Today I dug in some compost and Rapid Riser plus watered with some special water saving liquid to see if I can inject some life into it. I can't even seem to grow a decent batch of parsley these days.

We have a large chook run right next to the beds Judy with 16 hens so their decomposed straw, hay and droppings get mixed into every garden bed we have. Each bed is also having its own tap down one end so we can have drip irrigation on timers. Between the husband and the builders they are trying to cover all bases.

It sounds as if you are all set up ready to have success then Kylie.

sounds good Kyton

Wow Kylie! I'm jealous they are some huge planters you have there and I can see lots of yummy goodness coming from that in a few months time. Well done.

Thanks everyone. Went and bought ginger this morning.

This weekend I am weeding the vege gardens, and replanting on Friday.

Just got a whole lot of new seeds in to plant.
