DO A STAR JUMP IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MAKE A COMPOST BIN OUT OF - seriously though, send us an ask if you have any ideas

cut back the tomato plant yesterday, unloved after rain + lack of growing space = unhappy plant

It hopefully will look happier soon

The bark that moved from the front garden when we had all the rain

This is the backyard, it used to be in much better conditions but we’ve had some troubles keeping it all neat because my father can’t look after it due to his cancer.

Help us out, I brought some feed n’ weed for the grass/dirt/rock, will I need to block that area off from the dogs for a while or does it not matter?

my video won’t upload so I’ve gone around and taken photos of the backyard, front yard and the products I brought today. I’ll upload them now, let us know if you can spot somewhere to put the Strawberries, any improvements (apart from weeding, that is tomorrows job) and some ideas for what materials I can use for the compost bin! Have a nice night/day

Carrot day at Mom and Dad’s is my favorite day of the summer.

They've tripled in size

doubled in size

never tried to grow sprouts like this but I found it on the internet so lets have a go!

Okay I left these three out of the video - my bad!
They were moved from their original spot to another that gets more sunlight and baby, we have a winner! They started booming, not long now and we’ll have some fresh veggies to eat. I’ll need to get a wire or wood stick for the caps to lean on.

I’ve taken a video that shows the backyard and front garden (as well as my interrupting dogs) so you can visit our house virtually! Might help us find some things.

I’m looking for a good place to put the strawberries (full sun?) and, something to make and somewhere to put a compost bin.

I’m also after some help on what to do with compost bins? I’ve never attempted one but I’ve looked at them at work regularly (Bunnings Girl!)

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

Okay, I’ll upload the video and some photos for you :)

HELLO WORLD! We haven’t posted anything for a while, we’ve just completed term three of year twelve which is pretty big and busy. We are on holidays now, so our gardening blog will be going off by the end of next week. I’m super excited to get back into it. Update to our last post: Our iceberg lettuce has come back to life! we now have five growing well our asian mix and chives are no longer in the garden We are now growing strawberries and rocket I’ve brought some sprouts that I’m growing in recycled bottles, I soaked them over night and I’m just about to go check on them now. we had another big week of storms and this one was worse than the last, we’ve ended up with half our garden in the backyard but it is all cleaned up and when the sky gets a little bluer today, I will take new photos. Have a nice day/night Nikki and Deanna

sucky to hear about all the rain, I'm sure the roots aren't very happy. you can add more perlite to your soil if you know you get pretty heavy rainfall. it'll help tremendously with aeration and drainage which will prevent the "over watering" the rain is providing. as far as mold and humidity, well... you'll just have to keep a close eye on and treat them as they occur.

Its been raining all week and our iceberg lettuce plants are not coping! They’re the only ones who seem to be affected. Any suggestions?

sunflowers!

Our Carrots are beginning to show!!

I spelt chives wrong on the packet

Asian mix is on fire!

Our Garden is growing! Our carrots are starting to show and I’ve just picked the first bunch of greens for my lunch today!

I also took some tomatos and parsley from the other garden which is in the backyard. Its a little over grown but the veggies are still growing so that’s a plus!

Crazy hair, I must not be doing enough gardening.
