Rabbit!!
I awoke this morning to discover that a rabbit has been munching into my beautiful plump cabbages. Not nibbling ... munching!! Help! Any advice?
Lynne replied to Leigh Bradbury-Taylor's discussion Raised beds over cobbles...??? in the group Food Growing Questions and Answers"I live at the beach too and my raised gardens are fantastic! Sand underneath, then weedmat, hay, sprinkle of blood and bone, pea straw, compost. See my previous posting of me showing off my cauli. Tomorrow I'm going to harvest my brocolli.…"
Rex Morris replied to Lynne's discussion My cauli in the group Food Growing Questions and Answers"That is a beautiful cauli and will provide yummy meals. The trick with caulis is not leaving them too long before picking otherwise they go off and lose their appeal - you got this just right."

Robynne Jephson replied to Lynne's discussion Pony poo in the group Food Growing Questions and Answers"i have a garbage bin which i put some horse poo with water in and use as a "tea" for my veges. I think as long as it is quite diluted it should be fine. not on new seedlings though"

- 3 raised beds that my husband made and another area as well. I also have a hot house and am experimenting with that. When I am certain that the frosts are over I have tomato, cucumber, zucchini, basil, capsicum, lettuce, marigold seedling to plant out. I'll leave some in big pots in the hot house and compare how they grow. I've planted beetroot and radish seeds in the garden. I've nearly finished the broccoli, cabbage, cauli and silver beet that I planted ages ago. All experimenting, all new, all good!!

- Hi lynne, Different seeds bring different nutriance to the soil, so what you plant this year will be better to plant something else next year, and you could swhoop places next year eg: lupins in front yard, mustard in back this year, mustard in front yard, lupins in back next year then you would have both avalible for your compost heap for two years! so many options, gardens are never boring. theres more ideas than time and space to do them.

- Hi Lynne, as we are coming in to coolier weather, now is the time to plant seeds for green manure, Lupins Mustard and there are some others, this will inprove the soil for the summer and it will fill the gaps that will form as plants die back.
