One of the things I really enjoy is being able to eat the things we grow. When it comes to vegetables, there is nothing better than eating what you have picked that day. This year the vegetable garden has been a challenge as we have had unusually cool weather all summer. Things haven't grown quite the way they usually do. We have still managed to feed ourselves reasonably well from our own garden, but I am finding we have not so much surplus this year. This mornings haul from the garden doesn't look too bad though so I decided to take a picture for you. We have scarlet runner beans, roma tomatoes, zucchini, button squash, carrots, capsicums and parsnips. Strangely enough this year has actually been the first year I have been really successful with capsicums.

I found capsicums need lots of water.
ReplyDeleteI ended up with 5 pullets and 7 roos from the fav eggs. How was your pullet/roo ratio?
The girls have a lot of colour too which is lovely. :-))
Glad the chickens are going well. As you know, how many boys or girls you get is a bit of a lottery. That said, your ratios are sounding similar to mine.
