VEGETABLE ROUNDS UNDER PINE TREE

AS OUR GARDEN IS MATTED WITH EUCALYPTS AND A PINE TREE, THESE RAISED BEDS MEAN THAT THE VEGETABLES WILL GROW WITHOUT ROOT PROBLEMS FROM THESE TREES.

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN STRUCTURE FROM OUTSIDE

HERE'S AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF THE VEGETABLE GARDEN STRUCTURE IN OUR BACK GARDEN. IT LOOKS DARK FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT IS SURPRISINGLY LIGHT INSIDE. MY HUSBAND'S WEBSITE IS http://www.greenscreenlandscaping.com.au/

A VEGETABLE ROUND IN OUR GARDEN

THESE RAISED BEDS MEAN NO BENDING, THE DARK PLASTIC HELPS RETAIN HEAT, THE MESH COVERING THE STRUCTURE KEEPS OUT MOSQUITOS AND OTHER INSECTS

CLOSE UP OF VEGETABLE ROUNDS

THESE VEGETABLE ROUNDS WERE BUILT BY MY HUSBAND MICHAEL COOK. THERE ARE SIX ROUNDS UNDER THE MESH STRUCTURE HE BUILT WITH WORKER KEN.

SAYING HELLO TO A RELUCTANT HORSE

THIS HORSE WAS IN A PADDOCK NEXT TO A COTTAGE I RECENTLY STAYED IN WITH MY COLOMBIAN FRIEND NURY. THE COTTAGE BACKED ONTO BADGER CREEK AND HAD VIEWS TOWARDS THIS HORSE AND PADDOCKS

Badger Creek, Healesville, Victoria

This was to the rear of a very pleasant cottage I stayed in overnight recently with Colombian friend Nury. Badger Creek is behind the trees.
