and the Garden Gnome Award goes to...
Katie The Garden Gnome has spent the whole day digging and planting the veggie garden and now she is absolutely exhausted but extremely pleased with herself...
before: home of The Massive Snail Farm
during: aha, i spy the rhubarb and the silverbeet from the last Big Dig.
after: the watered and snail-pelleted beans, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, courgettes, capsicums, potatoes, basil, parsley, coriander, italian flat leaf parsley,
and rosemary *waves to rosie*...
and water melons, surrounded by manure.
*spits* i hate manure(guess the movie line)

I miss you so...
Back to the Future (the second one, I think)....says a random lurker who stumbled this way from Sarah Bean's blog
LOL....I suppose you spent the rest of your day writing to the MOE??? - From the (now) lone garden rebel ;o)
Oooo, you've been busy. I guess Spring has sprung. It's just getting colder here and everything is dying. It's nice to go to someone's blog and see Spring all over again!
"There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember: and there is pansies. That's for thoughts. There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue for you; and here's some for me: we may call it herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you some violets, but they withered all when my father died: they say he made a good end,--"
Name the book! :)
WTG kate yaye (clapping)

Well it goes like this....on Saturday I was reading your blog, and talking to my bro on the phone (who is now in Akld for the year - yeah!) and I loved your vege garden (which is often the case with other people's vege gardens) however so inspired was I, that I raced outside to a patch that I thought would be big enough for us, but not too big to scare a poor sanguine, and I dug and dug and cleared all the weeds, and then when Grant finished studying, we popped out and bought potting mix etc, and a few plants, and we are now the official owners of a vege garden, which is hopefully going to provide cherry tomatoes, lettuces, capsicun and Rosemary - the Basil and Mint is still to come - they will have a separate place to live.
Just call me Jamie.
WTG, Katie the Garden Gnome! Can I hire you out to come clean up my back garden???
:)
Oh Spring, how fun. As you are planting we are cutting and putting away.
Did you ever get your dream garden on the side of your house?

bee-mama
erm... *blush*... not yet.
i keep changing my mind about What I Want... still "watching this space (grow weeds in it)" X
I don't need to worry about the snails yet, as we planted from seed - and to be honest it's all a little boring...!! Yesterday Grant had an exam, so he had the afternoon off, and we went to Rogers Plant place in Mangere - we got heaps of plants for the bach, but got the kids some plants too for the vege garden, so we now also have Peas, Passionfruit & Basil - the cool thing is they were little plants, so there's a bit more to look at...still a bit boring though!
Everyone is actually laughing at my garden, as it is quite small but with quite a lot of stuff in it - oh well - they can laugh but I'll be the one with the fresh veges (fingers crossed and holding breath!!)
