spring has sprung

You know when it starts getting lighter earlier in the morning, the birds start singing earlier and the chill is gone or not as bad as usual, that spring is on it's way. Today was one of those mornings. Driving east, with the glare in my eyes - I need to get some sunglasses and clean the inside of my windscreen - I even felt a bit warm wearing my coat...

the glory days of our vegie patch

In anticipation of warmer weather, Daryl has refilled our vegie patch with dirt & compost - twice. It seems to be Buckley's favourite place to dig, but I'm hoping that this weekend we can plant some seedlings and he will leave them alone. What are my chances?? And more importantly what should I plant? 

some of last year's tomatoes

I've read that you shouldn't plant the same vegies in the same spot two years running as they may attract bugs and diseases, but the cherry tomatoes last summer were so delicious, a flavour that can't be found at the supermarket, and now I want more. Plus nothing beats home grown lettuce and rocket, but again we've been planting these for the last few years too. Decisions, decisions... any suggestions are appreciated!
