Currently it has rhubarb, raspberries, gooseberries and black currents planted (my choice) which a friend pointed out sounded like bear food...Bianca thought that was apt.
There is some asparagus (bears don’t like asparagus) but we won’t be able to harvest that until we leave it for a year.
Bianca has LOTS of seedlings waiting to be bedded in a couple of weeks. Lots of multicoloured heritage varieties from Diggers Club like five colour silver beet and ten colour tomatoes. Call me old fashioned but I like my silver beet green and my tomatoes red!! We will have purple, yellow, black, green, pink, striped etc...

I love your stone borders, what a great idea! I'm also garden watching at the moment! loving it lol! what do they say about a watched kettle? Does it apply to vege patches too???
So there is all kind of new life sprouting up there in them hills. How productive you hairy folk have been! Just think, by the time you are tucking into asparagus you will have a miniature curly haired person strapped on yer back while you dig.
Hello you two, congratulations on the news. And I love the look of the new garden. Miss B, have you read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle", by Barabara Kingsolver? Its a great mix of anecodote and gargending stories and real-life sustainability stuff. Highly recommended. Bec xx
It certainly is all sprouting in every sense of the word. First tomato plant went in today as a kind of 'mine canary' for the rest of the tomatoes. After last week's weather, don't want to risk putting them all in at once.
I have read the Kingsolver book and it was one of the best books I've read in a long time. So inspirational - also set me on the path to making my own cheese, pasta and pastry.
Just slap a pinnie on me and call me Mrs Beeton!
