I am very impressed with your lovely garden. You have been VERY busy. How long do you work in it every day? How big is your land?

Not that busy really. The main bed is about 8m x 8m and nothing fancy just an old fashioned veggie garden in the ground. I spend a few hours in the weekend on it and target water every 2 to 3 days when needed (I find beer in hand hose in the other really aids re-hydration). Major clean ups and soil improvements take place in spring and autumn, and I change the layout of rows every 2-3 years (or when the artichokes and rhubarb need dividing).

The property is a classic quarter acre and I've put the tropical areas under another entry on my page if you are interested in the rest of the garden.

What's in the red shed? And what do you do with all the fruit and vege you grow?

The shed has everything including the kitchen sink! I use it as a potting shed and the chooks use it as a hen house. As requested, I've also updated the garden with some examples of what we do with the produce.

your kids will have wonderful memories of growing up there i am sure, and lots of great skills learned too. This is very inspiring, and lovely photography.
