We have just completed building a chicken yard and shed for them to sleep in, very exciting!!! I will try and put a photo on my page soon. We are going to get some chooks this weekend so I can't wait for that. How many chickens do you have ? I was thinking of getting 8-12 chooks, do you think this amount is too ambitious for a first time chook keeper?
Your chooks look really happy and healthy, hopefully mine will too!! Happy Gardening, Julie

Your photo of the peaches, is it from your garden? I have just planted an ANZAC peach and look farward to having fruit like that. If it is, how old is the tree and does it require any special care? I'm reading up on this sort of thing all the time.
Hope your dam is filling up. Hope you are getting some of this rain we have been having recently. Tony

Good luck with it all.

thanks for your nice comment, like your photos also, you live in a lovely valley. We sometimes pass your way on the way to Vic to visit our daughter, after living 40 years in Central Qld its much too cold for us. I've gardened on the same spot for 28 years!! so just about know what i'm doing, its amazing how the soil has built up over the years, when I started it had to be a no idg garden because I could'nt get the spade in the ground but now it goes down a full depth, all I really need to do is just open it up with a fork.

Your lambs are so sweet.

St Clair is changing, getting bigger . The local shopping centre is expanding, along with Erskine Park's little shopping centre.
No, not much in edible plants at present..just planted my tomatoes plus extra now that we have this wonderful organisation to swap and share our home grown food with.
I'll get the lettuce in shortly, along with the bell capsicums.
The meyer lemon tree is going to be a bumper season, she is weighing down with fruit and has lots of flowers being pollinated by the bees. Can't say much about my mandarin tree through, think its on strike. This is the 3rd year without much success, might just have to threaten it with the handsaw. lol

These peaches were the first crop in 2007...I only have one peach compared to your ninety!! Your photos are gorgeous..how long have you had the property?
I live in the adelaide suburbs, which in the late '70s when I first visited were full of fruit and nut trees and vegie gardens. Alas, these days many many more McMansions with tiny landscaped outdoors (can't really call them gardens!).
As my yard is not huge, I've espaliered the peach and apricot trees...just by pruning, rather than wires, so they are a little wild but productive.
I'm currently combatting caterpillars!!! Must spray with something soon...organic of course!
Cheers, Brannie

Thanks for that tip, I will have a look and see what they have. By the way my parents are at Forbes and have an oversupply of oranges and pumpkins at the moment if anyone is looking to swap for those. We also have a drake to give away, good for eating bugs under fruit trees.

I haven't been in the garden much at all, plan to start getting the garden bed ready today though. It is not too bad outside, but gets really cold here, I would really like a glass house to keep vegies in.

At 8:15pm on July 5, 2008, Barbelle said…: Will be doing lots of garden bed preparation for spring planting, preparing the potato bed - hopefully my seed potatoes will arrive this week.
Have to contact some suppliers and see what friut trees are available - dig some holes etc.

Really need that hay to do the best possible job! I'll go and hassle some people around town and see what I can come up with.
