veggie patch progress






now my veggie patch is guarded by toothy gnome... i won't (hopefully) to put up the chicken wire fence for a while... lets hope the companion and random planting will confuse the rabbits and pests, as the terraced fields will be a challenge to fence off...








see... toothy gnome sitting up high...looking out for pests and intruders


plants moved in as well - there are shallots (dotted everywhere), garlic, beetroots, snowpeas, radishes, coriander and savoy cabbages... lots of mulch / shredded newpaper... mcduck reckoned it looked like a dump, but no more with the new residents...




my other veggie patch is doing well also... although there are no toothy gnome to guard the place, residents also moved in - including onions, more shallots, basils, corianders, and several caulis ooo and a garlic too...



the weeds have vacated and the 1st step of the lower terrace is looking much better... more cow poo and humus... it'll be ready in a month or two
