Our patch sprawls outside back door and then right down the back with the chooks. The rainbow chard has been chomped by the chooks.

He want to put another planter box in cos he always buys too many pun nets and it gets abit overcrowded at times. Need to put more mulch down to stop the weeds - boy that's a big job

Some white insect is eating my basil, rosemary and mint. It leaves white patches on the leaves and when I give the leaves a good shake they fly off. What is it and what can I do to eradicate these villains?

CP and SuJen I am jealous of your gardens. The photos of your gardens make me want to get out and expand mine.

We have a gate connecting our backyard with the neighbor behind. We can help ourselves to their lap pool, and they can help themselves to our Vegie garden  :D

CP,  so neat.  I have 12 plots to get ready for planting.  It has taken me 2 days to weed 1,  so might be ready by Xmas.  Beautiful weather to be outside.  torn between making Sour Dough,  new recipe, and outside.  Better get outside while I can.
