Rain, Rain, come again...................


Melbourne has been pelted with some serious rain / hail, but up here the weather has been more kind, and not so violent.
We had rain - approx 15mm over the past 24hrs, and the garden is loving it. Along with the many visitors to the vegie patch. I found this little fella sitting amoungst the capsicums.
The eggplants are firing along, in fact we may even have a glut of them, the girls (aka chooks) are back on the lay, and we have just finished harvesting the corn so the goats are enjoying the stalks - I read somewhere that they are the candy equivelent in the goat world.
On a separate note - I have decided to go back to Uni to complete a post-graduate diploma. With a FT job and a FT study, plus kids, house, etc.................. it should be a very busy year.

Finally - a little progress


Just thought I'd share this photo of a vegie bed looking like a productive vegie bed.
We were harvesting beans, carrots, zuchinni, and a ton of squash from 1 bed alone, and in the far bed you can see the kohl rabi, beetroot and silverbeet starting to come along nicely.
So nicely that the goat thought so too....................
And now we are back to square one again.
