The Vegie Patch

As you can see from the pictures my little vegetable garden is coming along nicely. It's been a couple of months since we planted our little seedlings and we have been collecting some of the benefits from out garden already. At least with the Silverbeet. Mark and the boys aren't that keen on eating it but I make them eat it anyway rofl. I am such a meanie. It is good for us after all!!

In the second photo you can see our beloved little furbaby, Trip. He was sneaky enough to 'escape' the house that day while Mark was at the door so we let him wander about the garden for a while. He decided to help me with the weeding. Well he was eating some grass. It looks like he is just busy sussing out the celery and tomato plants.

Since having our garden I have noticed that the little dude is tending to eat more of the vegetables we put on his plate. Especially the fresh vegies from school at least. The kids have been growing vegies there for the past few years and every now and then we get some fresh produce brought home.


I do know one thing with out garden it seems to be thriving on the grey water I use. Every time I do a load of washing I use the water from the washing machine. It seems to work a treat for the vegies. Well I think it is. Next door said that it might not be all that good for the garden if I do it too often but so far so good at least. I used to do the same thing when I lived in Adelaide and I had no problems with the plants getting the wrong nutrients. As I said so far so good!

I can't wait to start harvesting other vegies! Hopefully some of them will be ready for us to use when Dad gets here in a couple of weeks. He'll at least love the silverbeet!
