Big Day in the Patch...

Overcast today, still very humid though - but at least the sun is not beating down upon me as it has been for many days now.  Finally, it is an opportune day for me to pull out what is left of the Summer plantings in the vege patch.  The garden will then remain fallow for the next couple of months  -  its way to hot, humid, wet and bug heaven to have a vege garden in Summer in Queensland........Roll on Autumn


After a very hard day and four buckets of perspiration later we have................a decidedly empty garden plot and a dozen very happy chickens.   


Together with.........the last of the produce


Some capsicum, a large long green cucumber, a nice truss of tomatoes and a big bunch of juicy basil leaves.   

Big day here - going to turn my basil leaves into pesto now for a big bowl of pasta and then relax for the evening.

    I really like the layout of your garden beds. They look not only look neat but it is a very attractively designed. I hope when I get to the point of putting in my new vege patch I can have mine looking so good.

      Thanks Sherri, I am lucky that I have a handy "hubby" that does all the building of garden beds for me.

    Still lots growing here, Sandi. It has been very mild weather...back to our normal summer weather thankfully. Not many pests here either apart from powdery mildew on the cucumbers and zucchini.
