Update on "The yard'

In the last few months since my last post we've planted the raspberrys (see post on raspberrys 27/7/1 )  and did lots of work in the garden, we planted some tomatoes, lettuce, watermelons, rocket, capsicum, chilli, beans, carrots, beetroot, and mangle-wurzel. We also harvested our wheat , pumpkins, onions, garlic, and some of our corn, tomatoes, and beans. In the holidays we mulched our native garden and fruit trees, then we made three pens for our sheep.

Raspberrys

While looking for more plants to expand our fruit trees a friend told me about  Raspberrys, I looked them up and found them to be good size, produce a lot of fruit and multiply by sending out suckers from there roots.
I convinced Paul they were good and we started to prepare the area.
We decided that in stead of using poison to get rid of the grass we would dig up the area and move the chooks over it for a week to get rid of the new grass sprouts and put some manure in the ground in the process.
We hope to be planting them on Saturday.
