Pumpkins, zucchini and beans have been cheekily creeping their way across every available surface vertical and horizontal. There is a sweet little road side Organic fruit and veg stall in Deans Marsh and for only a few dollars we got a whole bunch of lettuce seedlings and lovely reddish potatoes. We used a new chicken feed that wasn’t ground up, when the chicken tractor moved on the bed began to bristle with sunflowers, corn and wheat. The sunflowers I transplanted elsewhere, the others have been frustratingly prolific and even the chooks have stopped being interested in their stringy leaves.
