We are plodding along nicely.
The raised vegetable boxes we bought from Bunnings are all put together. And before anyone starts on the 'oh, you shouldn't used treated pine for vegetables' lecture I DO KNOW THAT! These are ACQ treated timber so OK to use for veggies.
We bought the star pickets and 50mm rural poly pipe for the poly tunnel structure from Crosby's Rural Supplies in Nambour. I never got to meet the legendary Mr Peter Crosby (the owner for 50 years) as Neil went to pick the stuff up. Apparently, he still has stuff there priced in pounds and chickens running around the shop! I must go and pay him a visit as I'm sure he will entertain me greatly and give me some tips on growing veggies.
Now we just have to put the soil in and fix the netting I bought over the poly pipe. Easy peasy!
I have no doubt this weekend will involve a lot of hard work, a bit of swearing and a few glasses of Chardonnay!

Hey Selina,
What soil/compost make up did you use to fill your empty garden beds?

I just got a soil/compost mix from my local landscape supplier. I have a feeling it was 2 3rds soil and 1 3rd compost. It's good stuff, all growing really well.
Very good! I think that you have done a great job! FANTASTIC!!!!
