Great garden, must have been a lot of work setting it up, but it looks fabulous and well worth all the work.

Our veggies and fruits are going great guns at the moment. We had our first corn last night.

Great set up, I love it.  :D

Thanks everyone. The little house is the chook coop and the run is alongside. We have 22 chooks at the moment.

Love the raised beds Kyton.  We have only 3 chooks now.  Just starting to lay.   Hoping to get into garden too plant  up today.

Planted up my wimpy looking tomatoes yesterday - spent more time hen and rabbit proofing the plot than anything else - I really don't hold out much hope that the seedlings will survive, but my fingers are crossed.  Found an old net curtain (well it was new, actually, but the wrong length so couldn't use it for its original purpose) and, using clothes pegs, pegged it up around the bed in the hope that it will give some frost / sun protection in these early days.  It looks VERY strange!

Started our kitchen verandah veggie garden. Mainly herbs but will also put in some capsicums and anything else that comes to mind. The birds stole my whole parsley bunch :(

we made a cover for our vege gardens, with star pickets and then poly pipe over that, and then black bird mesh.
so it is totally enclosed. :)

Obbie,  this is what we do with our Blueberries.  otherwise , birds would eat the lot.
