Me and the hoe have been busy.

I have vegies again. Newly planted and hopeful, it's the best attempt for quite some time.

This is Mark 2 or 3 in regards to keeping the kikuyu at bay. I've put weed mat down for a few months, and then rotary hoed the beds, added lime, gypsum and an organic complete fertiliser, and wacked the vegies in.

It's not even the right phase of the moon for anything bar potatoes, but I couldn't wait any longer.

Brown Dog is a bit too proprietorial for my liking where a corner bed is concerned, but all in all I'm feeling positive.

 Pulling back the weed mat and making a start.

 Creating the beds with the hoe.

 Working up a sweat with the broadfork.

 Soil de-compacted, limed, gypsymed and fertilised, and in with the vegies (cheating with pre-purchased seedlings because time is getting away from me).

Brown Dog being good.
