I had a vegetable garden up until April last year and I loved it. It was the best feeling to go out and pick the vegetables that I had grown and come back in and cook them up for my family. While I was very pregnant with baby #5 and just after her birth I found that I just couldn’t keep up with it anymore. So I harvested what was there, let everything die off and eventually let the grass grow back over it.

Now that Sophie is 1 and can potter around the backyard with me and summers harsh heat has left us I am missing my little vegie patch.

I have a small garden at the end of our paving which was a herb garden but I let that die off too. I am going to plant some lettuce, some rocket and possibly some herbs in there again. It won’t be quite as much fun as my bigger vegie patch but it’s a start.

The beginning of a vegetable garden

Here is a before photo of the plot that I intend to fill with yummy lettuces. I’m hoping to get it cleared out and some lettuce seeds planted in there in the next couple of days!
