Lucky chick and Duke enjoying the stones warmed by the sunshine, while Mrs Brown contemplates chicken nirvana (the vege patch) on the other side of the fence.

Cauliflower, and one very long heirloom white carrot (I have size 8.5 (AU) / 6.5 (UK) feet!!)

Potatoes and compost tumbler

Well, the first frost of the year is threatening to settle tonight, so it was time for some more harvesting. Heirloom pink, pale yellow, white and purple carrots were harvested yesterday, blanched and frozen. Another huge basket full of potatoes (about 10kg) put a dent into potato patch number 2 (but there are still more to harvest!). At least 5 of the potatoes were as big as my hand, and enough to feed 2 for dinner!




Over the weekend Jerry made me a fabulous compost tumbler using an old blue barrel we scrounged. Isn't it great? What a clever Jerry!
