Veggie garden is ON. Here are 2 pics of our recent planting. We built the box from cypress planks, which we hope will hold up reasonably well. Inside went grass clippings; 3 trays of contents from the worm farm, worms included; a bag of sheep manure; more grass clippings; some topsoil and a spare bag of potting soil - that's where the little white rocks come from. A bit of a mix, but one we imagine being reasonably tasty for plants and bugs and worms alike, or at least getting that way over time.

This is a tiny brocolli, which is supposed to hold up well in cooler weather.










Here's a sense of the whole thing. Brocollis are in the foreground. Rocket and silver beet on the right side. A bunch of salad greens on the left. We went ahead and stuck some seeds in the center to see what happens: beetroot and carrots. I think we were supposed to wait on these but what the heck we like carrots and this is how you learn.





Then, in honor of the brocolli planting, we ate some brocolli.














And practiced our table manners.
