We’re going to attempt to grow some vegetables after hearing the success stories from relatives and friends. I’ve pulled out half of the rockery for a designated vegetable and herb patch. It get’s partial sun in the morning and mostly full sun in the afternoon. Once we chop a few more trees and branches we should have some more sunlight.

I picked up 1/2 tonne worth of vegetable garden mix from the local landscape place. It’s a mix of mushroom compost and soil. Not bad for $30 and we have plenty left over to go elsewhere. Better way of buying it than the bags at the hardware store.

Here’s a list of what has been planted from seedlings.

• Tomatoes – Dwarf Cherry
• Snow Peas – Bikini Dwarf
• Capsicum – Yolo Wonder
• Capsicum – Sweet Pimento
• Parsley – Afro
• Basil – Sweet
• Carrots – Little Fingers
• Chives
