We’re on our road to semi self sufficiency! Woohoo. Well it’s three small beginnings. We’ve wanted to make a veggie garden for about the last year and just hadn’t got around it. So a few weeks ago we started. Being married to an engineer means that you can’t just make a simple raised veggie bed. No it has to be super strong with 24 huge and I mean huge steel bolts. The wood will rot before these puppies break. We had fun collecting the macrocarpa sleepers; though ended up going to three different stores to get what we needed. Finally we got all we needed and we were able to start our beds. There’s nothing quite like watching a sexy man with a saw in hand making something for his family.

To tell you the truth I don’t know anything about plants or gardening. My mum is an amazing gardener and has the most beautiful garden but as my father once said I have black thumbs! So I got a little (well a lot) of help from the NZ Gardener 2011 diary. This magazine is great as it has a week by week guide of what to do in your veggie garden. So I think together we might be able to make it.
