And there it is!! In the pots at the back are tomatoes, peas and beans. The ground is still a bit wet and gluggy so aren't planting the rest until tomorrow. When we can give the ground another digging and hoeing. left to plant are watermelon, rockmelon, cucumber, lettuce, brocolli, carrots, celery and one raspberry bush. Heres hoping it takes off and does my proud.
I am stuffed there was so much taking away of crap, rubbish and stones. Stupid stones because many years ago we stoned all our gardens as we hate bark. So literally wheelbarrow ful of stones. My arms I am sure will ache tomorrow.
Livi and Emmy were of course helping (interefering) by filling up buckets with stones, and digging bits and pieces and sitting right where you wanted to be. But they lasted the whole time I must admit.
We went to Palmers and of course the Santa shop. Emmys eyes nearly popped out of her head and she declared "Fuck all the real santas here" and sat down on the floor and just stared. Livi set about making the various things do their noisy thing.
Then more and more digging, and hoeing and digging and then the girls and I planted the pots while Graeme dug the huge stump out from back in the fejoa tree days. Wemust have just burried it over with more soil when we removed them all instead of actually taking it out.
Well heres to a plentiful and thriving Vegie Garden.

Hahahaha..at Emmys comment about the real santas!! Thats a classic! Hey just think of all the exercise digging over the new garden?! I think sometimes work like that is more rewarding than going for a boring old walk cos you can see the results in front of you after you have finished huffing and puffing!!
