Vegetable garden progress


The strawberry plants have began to flower, and the peas and beans are doing well. I harvested the bamboo sticks for the runner beans from the forrest nearby!

Vegetable garden coming to life


The 90+ strawberry plants are doing very well; the plastic covering helps keep the moisture in, stops weeds and grass from growing. This arrangement, with raised beds, helps keeps the fruit out of the dirt.

In the fore-ground we can see the peas, broad beans and running beans sprouting up nicely.
