Norwich House – Early Days – Garden

Hi again!
Its been a bit of fun taking the time to look back to our first few months in Tasmania.
Starting a proper garden for the first time was awesome – especially if you have good soil – you feel like a champion right from the beginning!
Here are a few snaps from our first efforts (Yes – still with the small camera)

I love having marigolds scattered about in the veggie patch

 

The first of the scarlet runner beans!
Wow – how tidy of me!

I slightly over did it with the zucchinis in our first season. I think we ate them out of the freezer for two years!!

I put tomatoes in here again this season too!! First time for 5 years!
Pumpkin
Reluctant model – see my hand holding him in place??

Funny thing about the corn. I only put a few in the first season because Jeff was never super keen on it. (?? I know!! Why??)
Anyway, once the season had ended he requested I put in more corn and less tomatoes! Apparently he had never had home grown before, so once he got a taste of the good stuff there was no stopping him!

Cherry plums

While every season is a lot of fun and each year is different, I think our first season was the most exciting one!

Cheers

A happy traveller through life! Right now living in NW Tasmania with a gorgeous Nurse-Husband, a fool of a Siamese Cat and several chickens. We love our fairly simple lifestyle of growing a lot of what we eat and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our little patch.

    1. I have off and on luck with carrots – I haven’t been thinning them very well recently. I don’t enrich the soil – I learned they work better in poorer soil… they have to grow down better to reach the nutrients. 🙂
