Growing our own (again)



I love the thought of growing your own veggies, of walking out the back garden and picking some vegetables or fruit for dinner.  We decided to give a veggie patch another go - with a bit more effort this time. We built a raised bed, got some rich soil and even used fertiliser! Fancy I know.


We planted capsicum, oregano, cucumber and carrots in one area and sweet corn on the other side. 
They are growing nicely. The cucmber has a few flowers which hopefully will mean cucumber success!  The carrots have been growing steadily, capsicum a little slow but the sweet corn is stretching higher each day.
Fingers crossed we may cook our own grown dinner yet.
