The Start of a New Life....

Darling husband and I moved into our new home last July and didn't know what to do with the space at the back of house. Smart me said lets grow some vegies, so off we went and planted whatever to see what would grow. Most of what we planted grew but not as successfully as we thought.

After several websites later and going to the QLD Home Garden Expo later I think I have semi figured out what we were doing wrong and what need to do.

Tomorrow is the start of a new day, re-use, recycle and reduce.

I have gone out and bought a Can'O'Worms and am starting my worm farm tomorrow..... I am somewhat rather excited and have been sharing it with everyone lol some people just laugh and some are excited with me. I am hoping I may start other people off on a similar path to me.

Last year we planted a couple of fruit trees a lemon and orange. I'm pleased to say the lemon tree has 3 lemons on it but unfortunately the orange tree got citrus bug and half the leaves are missing. This year I have bought a lime, mandarine, dwarf mango and dwarf avocado. I can't wait til they are all fruiting as well.

Tomorrow I will let you know how my worm farm starts off and some piccies of my part finished vegie garden beds.
