This gorgeous golden Slender tree Frog was hanging out in my vegie garden in the big wicking bed. I’ve never seen a grog this golden colour before, and I am assuming its a Slender Tree Frog as it looks like one, but was actually a lot bigger than the 4.7cm …
Spring is in the air – and so are the bees! My lavender plants are covered in bees at the moment, so a perfect opportunity to test out my new macro lens!
Starting to harvest vegies from the garden quite regularly now. I’m going to miss everything that the garden is producing once we head into the summer months and I have to cut back on my water useage in the garden.
The vegie are growing gangbusters at the moment, the wicking bed has turned out to be a really good decision. I have brocoli and cauli growing for the first time, including the really unusual Romanesco variety that kind of reminds me of a cone shell with the way it grows.

Spring is finally here, the days are warming and the vegie garden is progressing, although slowly as we are still having frosts every night. In an attempt to get a headstart with some seedlings, I have started some seeds in a makeshift coldframe – white polystyrene vegie boxes covered with …
If we want to have any chance of providing all the vegetables for our family, expanding the vegetable garden is essential. I also found that the original bed that we made last year was too wide for me to access comfortably, so we pulled that down to make it narrower. …
