That's a really good system - straightforward and simple - I just didn't have the appropriate bits and pieces to do it yesterday but will definitely do it when I get a chance.

Hmm ours are just in pots so think star pickets will be too big. I'm giving the birds the benefit of the doubt and hoping it was Miss 2!

we have a little mesh gate, so we can walk in and out too.
Nothing fancy, but keeps the birds and bandicoots  out :)

Picked heaps more yesterday from the garden too

One of our neighbours gave us a couple of tomato plants last weekene so it has prompted us to start our veggie garden... we've only been in the house for three months..... but that's long enough for me start designing! I've needed to prune (aka hack) at a number of over grown shrubs in order to let light into the space... I think tonight's effort is at least two trailer loads :D:D:D

This weekend we will start the 'wicking' system :)

I've just spent over an hour in the garden too for the second time in a few days, I wonder what's motivating us at the moment. Green bin is full and it's not due to be emptied until Thursday week.

I am loving these longer days Judy! Trying to cram as much into my day as is possible is my motivator :) I even ironed this evening!

I am aching all over today as I dug out a garden bed yesterday morning before breakfast. I have discovered a whole set of muscles I didn't know we're mine.. I didn't really mean to, I just went outside, and before I knew it I had a fork in my hand and I had dug in 20 L of cow manure, dynamic lifter and compost. I was still in my pyjamas too!
I'm just waiting for the weather to cool down before I plant my seedlings

LOL, funny how that happens ES.  Well we have some rain forecast soon so it won't be long and the time will be just right.  Look out for the snails though.

I think a mouse has got onto our verandah and been eating our parsley and sweet chillies :( DH was going to set a trap but forgot and is now asleep. So probably more damage tonight. I'm not even sure where to look for a trap.
