We declare a 'duck' war!

Farm work today. Created a netting enclosure to keep ducks off our Cos Lettuce. Fed fish, yabbies, snails and worms. AND then finished off with an ice block... well it was hot!

@ home in my garden!


I practice what I teach! My front & back yard are myfarm! 15 months ago I moved my vegie & rose gardens from the back (south facing) to the front (you guessed it) north facing! NEVER looked back!

Enough of what was... what is...
harvested potatoes, beans, spinach, capsicum, tomatoes, egg plant, brussel sprouts, garlic, straw flowers, chrysanthemums, strawberries, roses *did I mention my roses?

As well as... continued planting & maintenance with a full rainwater tank!!!!
The yards/paddocks are a bit 'on the nose' as I fertilised the gardens with 'rooster booster', sheep poop and 'stuff' on the weekend!
Needs a good rain to move plants along and reduce the pong!

What's this? mmmmm
