I bought a
Veggie Bed. Firegazer's not convinced. He thinks I'll forget about it and then we'll have a large corrugated iron thingy hanging around the yard with dying plants in it. Who knows, but I want to give this Vegie-growing-caper a go.
My
brother was visiting from the Wild West today. He put the whole thing together, layered the soil and took me shopping for vegies. He's a farmer and really handy with this stuff. Padawan Learner was a keen apprentice vegie planter after school.
Here it is. We've (ie Farmboy and PL) planted cauli, broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, leeks and spinach. In another pot we've also planted a range of herbs.
Firegazer and I are heading off on a week's holiday to FNQ on Sunday (our first holiday together for over 10 years...). Grandma and Grandpa arrive tomorrow to look after the kidlets. I hope they can encourage my vegies along while I'm away.
I think I could get used to this remote gardening caper.

Ooh I hope they grow. It would be fabulous to just walk outside for your evening meal provisions.
Are you going to meet any FNQ bloggers on holiday?
Did you buy this as a kit? It looks like the very thing I would love! Could you email me the details please.
Tracey: yes, it is a kit and double-bonus - it's made in Queensland! www.birdiesgardenproducts.com.au will email more details.
I am pretty sure that you put me on to this by mentioning it a while ago and now I have it bookmarked. When I move back to Sydney and have my own home I will be getting one of these for sure.
When I know your brother is over from the West.
And can put it together for me!!
Have a fantastic break - it is the best best thing!!!
Fantastic M, great use of the spot. Fresh is best and now you can follow more acurately what is in season.
Holiday? Without kids? What is this? It sounds so.... peaceful.
Love that big corrugated tub thingy! Sending your winter vegies grow strong vibes.
Very cool vegie garden. I'm sure once Firegazer starts reaping the rewards of the fresh produce, and you gointo overdrive preserving, bottling, stewing and freezing the excess...he'll be all for putting another couple in.
