Nothing like good rain to boost growth.

Rain and hot weather has boosted growth in the garden over the last week. It's great to see results and to be able to eat fresh everyday.

Chooks are amazing producers for little cost!

I am constantly amazed by the personality of the chooks and their ability to produce eggs everyday, .



One chooks lays large eggs


Juice as a substitute for Coke Zero!

Coke Zero was my drink of choice, replacing it with juice has altered the way I feel. No mood swings, no bloating and no fizz.

This has to be a step forward?

First Juice from the garden!

This is my first harvest for juicing, has to be good for me! (tastes very green) The warmer weather has rejuvenated plants that had suffered from the frosts. Cannot wait for the berries to arrive, already have around fifty strawberries in the infant stages of growth. I just love this project!

Not enough hours in a weekend. Bruti is happy!

I cannot wait for daylight saving to arrive, there just aren't enough hours in the weekend to do what I want to. I got half the bird proofing done, repaired the fence in the paddock with the sheep, went shopping took a priority, so it will have to wait until next weekend, two days in Melbourne this week.
