Astrid is home again, with two of us working in the garden we are making good progress. Here's an update ...

This area is reclaimed from the chicken run so it is fertile but has the usual water repellant qualities so it's been difficult to establish plants however we are now having some success and harvesting Thyme, Oregano, Purple Amaranth, Bok Choi, Cherry Tomatoes. Seedlings that are coming along include: Eggplant, Capsicum and Rhubarb. We'll be interested to see how much we can grow in this relatively small area (square metres), Permaculture Zone 1 - closest to our back door.

These raised beds are two large beds (for crop rotation they are divided into two) of three. Total area is 29 square metres. The bed in the foreground is planted with potatoes, eggplant, and capsicum. One half of the bed in the background is planted with Alliums - leeks, onions etc. The other half is ready for legumes and corn. The corn grows well but Slaters "lumberjack" any beans we've planted.
