What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

I suppose with specialist breeds like yours the price per egg is more expensive than regular eggs?. But they give you enjoyment. Cant put a price on that. My nan kept chooks. I was scared of them lol

I typically don't sell my eggs. we give them away to the food bank, or my OH's workplace. On the very rare occasion we sell, its $5 per dozen which is about as much as people will pay, at least those who are happy with caged eggs. I see the end product as having come from a living animal. I know how much it costs to feed them as house them, keep them healthy and free from parasites etc.

When it dries out enough it's tiller time here and in one more week I'm starting seeds!

I'm trying to reinvent the garden up the top. However, it's the dry season, so that means I'll have to water the space every day, which is a problem because we only get water once a week.

It's a bit quiet in the garden.
And just when I assembled loads of recipes with yardlong beans, my beans decided it is time to stop producing and to stop being...
So I seeded an other area

Next weekend I start my seeds!

So you're good for another 7 days

I still got loads of eggplants.
I'm now thinking of salting them, washing, squeezing out all liquid and throwing them in the freezer.
Should take up less space than blanching & freezing
I already got eggplant in oil and pickled eggplant...

Soil temps are tracking for a planting in mid-April so I'll start seeds this weekend and till in all the over wintered mulch.

My gardener did wonders yesterday.
He sieved the soil up the back, removed all the stones, levelled off all the earth, watered everything, planted the passionfruit , absolutely brilliant. Now (ie, tomorrow) I just have to organise the chile plants because they're not growing in the pots any more. Ditto, some grape tomatoes.

Hard to tell from the pics but 45 minutes with the tiller is a good thing!

Now I have to get my seeds started.
