Tell us about your garden and what you're growing

My partner and I moved into our house in the middle of December. We are doing up our house. I tend to stick to doing stuff outside while my partner does his thing inside. It seems to work well for us. The first thing I got him to do for me however was build a raised vege garden. I love it, the only problem is it is now not big enough. If I had my way the whole of our back yard would be a vegetable garden. I want to grow everything!!! I have gradually moved away from the raised garden and have now planted various veges in other places, I think I have an addiction!! I am loving the vege garden and at the moment am loving learning more about what I am growing and what I can grow. I am doing really well with no failures to date, however it is still early days. I also have some fruit trees and a few flower plants and have planted some bulbs. My Great Grandad had a HUGE vege garden and my Grandad is a fantastic gardener, I think I have inherited their green thumb.

  • Hi Melissa, looks like you guys have been busy busy! just saw on Robyns page that you made a nastutium pesto!! sounds awesome, can i ask how you made it? Many thanks : ).
  • Hello! Thanks for your comments. I've just looked at your photos. You have wonderful raised beds. They will last for at least fifty years. You are like me...I love to try all sorts. My mission now is to grow for the Food Bank so I have silverbeet and lettuces in the flower garden as I run out of room in the veg garden. They look quite good. Nice to meet You.
