So a couple of months have gone by.  I have kind of lost track of all my "keeping orgainised" plans.  But things are growing well and recovering after the hail.

I have planted out some Black Russian Tomatoes in the front yard.  With all the rain I managed to dig a pretty deep strip of garden.  The problem is the neighbour thinks its ok to pick my chillie there so he will likely go for the toms too.  I'll have to grow some balls and tell him what I think about that when/if it happens.  

There are some lebanese cucumbers along there too.  

I'm hoping the black russians are suitable for seed saving.  I'm not sure of the source, but they were seeds that had been saved onto paper towl so I would think so. 

The beans along the front wall are going good guns.  My little cane trellases are a bit ugly but I'm trying to teach myself not to care. 

There are 3kg of potato seed planted up the back.  I'm having trouble keeping them mounded and mulched.  They are powering on.  The Zucchs are awesome and have been keeping us fed.  It is great to find one up there ready to go right when you realise you didn't have anything to have with your steak.  

The corn is recovering from being trampled by the dog.  Its going great after being mounded with compost.  I'm glas I went with the corn.  

Only three of my golden nugget pumpkins germinated.  It seems I rotted them with too much water. :(  I know for next time atleast.  Hopefully I manage to save some seed. 

I have several eggpland seedlings now.  I was worried they werent germinating. 

I also have some awesome sweet chocolate and goleden calwonder capsicums sprouting.  I so love swapping seeds.  It is really excting to me.  And I'm learning to to be ashamed of the things I am interested in.  

The boys finally put up a 6foot pine fence we salvaged.  It did half of the back yard up to the house.  the old fence was horrible and useless.  This will also help keep the pervy neighbour at bay.  

Would you believe he told my husband and father he had been admiring our fish for 15 mins the other night... through our loungeroom window..

My pics ect are all over the place but I just can't be bothered trying to make it perfect.  It's good enough for me to keep track of things to it will do :)
