One of the greatest inspirations to my lifestyle for a long long time.<br />Our little garden is ever growing, in fact I must post some of our latest photos. We have dug even more grass out of our back yard and adding more structured beds. We have started more serious planning for the front garden, mainly fruit trees. In fact the front olive tree yielded its first 20 or so olives this year. They are marinating in the cupboard as we speak. The chickens remain a happy little family of 3 supplying us with a never ending steam of eggs...and a few mice mice, that we could do without :) The compost heaps (3) need some work, I think I am doing something wrong as I get little heat from them and for not long enough to kill seed, so I am learning, this is mainly my area, Chris is the main veggie girl, I am her labour. We occasionally come to heads about exactly what should happen in the garden and yesterday it was a decent fight over raised beds, how high, what materials, design etc. So I went and sulked at a mates house and played on our Apple Macs and made videos of our Tassie kayak trip and Chris did the garden - it looked great by the way - aghhh.<br />Christine made a wonderful basil pesto with bits from the garden the other day. I can't wait for a day when the olive oil might come from the garden too. So it is all going well, just keeping the balance between places where kids can play on lawn and places mum and dad want to rip up and garden...heck they have parks!<br /><br />Have a look at the Today Tonight episode of our heroes <a href="http://www.lintrezza.com/blogger.html">Linda and Trevor.</a><br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TOq8S46Xzjg"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TOq8S46Xzjg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object>Vawzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16774212495246396460noreply@blogger.com
