Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

They'll be amazing, dede!  A good job with the piping, too.  Possums are our most pesky perpetrators - cute but create a lot of carnage . .!!

Mandi you have been working hard - good workout but of course you would be aching using muscles you haven't been using lately.  I can understand your thinking about a cigarette after all the work was done but think of it this way, you probably couldn't have done all that work if you had still been smoking    Well done, the pests attempts to do damage to your new beds will be thwarted by that great structure you have assembled. Would love to see a photo down the track when the beds are in full growth.

The main reason I'm using bird netting is to keep the chooks out. Oh and cats as well. We don't have problems with possums here thank goodness

Done. , added another bale of pea straw per tank, half a bag of sheep poo per tank, blood and bone, 1/2 meter of compost that I had delivered. 6 bags of organic compost and 2 bags of sugar cane mulch. They finally all full.
Have planted a zucchini, cucumber, spring onions, leek, silver beet, broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce.

Kids enjoyed helping me, DH came home and was shocked that I finished them.

An absolutely awesome effort, dede!  With that mixture the plants will be leaping up and out in no time at all!!

I told the kids that we will have the best veggies in the world with everything in the tanks

Fantastic job Mandi, when you start a job you really do get on with it don't you?

 . . . . you can always come and live with me, dede!!!

I try to Judy. I don't like stretching it out over weeks. And I'm a real impatient person

[dede]

I have learnt a lot of skills from being impatient over the years. I don't like waiting for someone to do it for me, so I just do it myself.

Nice looking Zucchinis Halex. Hope mine grow that well. Between my family and all my birds we go through a lot of veggies all year round
