Blisters, broken, sore and aching back

Blisters, broken, sore and aching back was created by Giddyup

Finally got my planter vegie boxes made, cartered over to the plot and filled.
I am so, so proud and pleased.
I filled them with newspapers, broken down horse shit and hay, then topped off with organic compost.
Have only 5 at the moment but plan more in the summer.
My husband is making a frame tomorrow to hold shade/frost cloth to keep the bloody chooks off.
I'm thinking of planting carrots, caulis, brocoulli and silverbeet.
Any other suggestions?

Huge and sideways - they look good though-- the chooks will love scratching all that compost out .[}][:0]

Bugger them! I gave a whole lot away last weekend. The ones I gave away were the ones that come inside and shit everywhere.
My friend wanted good layers... yeah they were, but also the ones that have no respect!
Chooks - gasp - I'm down to 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahhaha thanks MM! I obviously skipped that part!
But then again, I copied and pasted a pic into a post the other day... that worked!

Sundays me old mate! I hope you had a few for me! You could always come down here and help me plant out!

I have such a sore bloody back, but now have 8 of the buggers! My dad's advised me to buy seedlings, so I'm trotting off to the nursery this week. I can't wait!

They are the perfect size for a chicken ark to fit over them when they are not in use for growing - was that what you were planning on?? []

Didi pea straw is a horrendous price here - down in Canty where I come from we used to bale and cart it for kindy fundraisers and used to sell it for $2.50! Here it's about $12.
I got myself this organic compost which is made from rumen (is that the stuff in cows' stomaches) and bark. It's georgus!

I really wanna get some silverbeet and brocouli etc in now, but have to wait for Ant to build a frame to hold up the frost cloth (and to keep chicken, rabbits out).
So much impatience!
