Gardening moments

It's done.  My new vegetable patch has been dug over, had compost and cow manure added, seedlings planted and mulched with lovely pea straw.  In the garden are cauliflower, bunching broccoli, red onions, leek, pak choy, spinach, carrots and beetroot.  The onions and leeks were planted amongst the cauliflower and broccoli to hopefully trick the white butterflies.  I also potted up a blueberry, cape gooseberry and a perennial basil.

Today I removed the contents of the potting shed back into the potting shed.  They had temporarily been housed in the unoccupied chook shed while the potting shed was dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere to make way for the studio.  Looking forward to getting some more chooks in the near future.

Hubby made a temporary enclosure for my compost heap which will do until he has time to build more permanent construction.  I mowed the grass this morning so the contents of the grass catcher was added to the compost pile together with prunings from the herb patch and other overgrown foliage.
