James and the Veggie Garden

We were fortunate enough to be able to be part of a permaculture workshop held in our circuit. Inspired by our new knowledge of mulch, earthworm farms and home-made compost, we've planted some veggies in our back garden.



James and the dogs had a ball during the planting, but since then we've had to work quite hard to keep all three out of the veggies!


We planted cabbage and spinach seedlings, carrot and pea seeds, potatoes and sweet potatoes and then four unidentified seedlings (it's a long story).
We gathered some mulch, created our own compost heap and adopted an earthworm farm.
And now we wait.

The first week didn't go so well - the birds discovered the seeds, and something else has been enjoying the spinach leaves, but we'll persist and see what we can do. Hopefully I'll be more faithful in keeping the blog updated and record our progress!
