The vegie patch.

Amy has always loved growing vegies. One year she sowed some turnip seeds which took off at a rate of knots and almost covered every bed in the vegie patch. We ended up with buckets of them........and even though we love our vegies, we're not that fond of turnips! 

 This original vegie patch in 1994 was her idea. 

And here it is in exactly the same position...

And with some extensions...

And some little bean planters...

Amy  grows most of her vegies from seeds....just like her Pa. I don't think Pa does this though....

This is the vegie patch the day after the fire.

 And the compost area....

And the tank that collected the precious rain water for the vegie patch...

Last year we had an abundance of tomatoes ....

And  we had many Sunday lunches consisting of  semi dried tomatoes on sourdough bread....

 until the jars ran out!!! And then I would make another batch......

We are now contemplating the design of our new vegie patch..... no turnips though!
