Vertical vegetable garden inspiration


Having only a small block I am running out of space for my veggies. I have trays full of seedlings and no space left to plant them. I know others have less space than we do and may need some inspiration on where they can plant there vegetables, so here it is..
.. GO VERTICAL!
























HAPPY PLANTING!

Grow, grow, growing!


The weather seems to be warming up at last. Still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings though. I'm still venturing down to the veggie garden each morning in my 'floor to ceiling' dressing gown to check on my seedlings. Here are some pics I took today. 


Bok choy and lettuce

Beetroot and spring onion

Cucumber and cauliflower

And after


I have sneaked some carrots in just the other side of the shade house, on the easement. 
I really want to grow some butternut pumpkin but don't have enough room. I am going to experiment trying to get it to climb up the fence instead. Not sure if it work but I'll give it a go.

Officially citizens!



Doesn't time fly.....we have now been in Australia 5 years. We thought it was about time we made things official and become citizens. They put on quite a show..with singers and dancers and afternoon tea!


We got flags!



We got a Grevillea!


We met the Queen!


We had pie, chips, mushy peas and gravy for tea!


And Ryan got a hangover!




Thank-you Australia
WE LOVE YOU!
