Update

There's a lot to update, and a proper post will follow in a few days. We've been very sick over the past week, and a bit distracted as the Cowra Blues AFL team just made it into the grand final to be played on 2nd September. But for now, a brief summary;

We've been eating loads of home grown spinach, silverbeet, cress, mustard and some celeraic leaves. The broccoli is coming along very well, and lots of other plants are growing well too.

We need help though. We've contacted a friend's dad who once featured on ABC TV's 'Gardening Australia' and we are hoping he can help us plan out the fruit trees ( a very difficult process in a small area), and another friend's dad who is a chicken expert! The challenge is to build an integrated chicken run that can serve multiple functions, such as espalier trelliss for fruit trees. It has to be cheap too.

More vegie garden beds need making as well, and a couple are ready for planting.

Some of the seedlings are growing well too, and some failed completely.

There's a picture above of our house taken from a train. We recently went on a short trip (20 mins each way) with Wendy and Angela from Sydney.

Another blog will be set up soon with family pics.
