Who doesn't love chickens????
Our chicken run is now right behind the vege garden, this makes it so easy to get rid of unwanted veges and waste.
The chook pen used to be at the other end of the garden, so it makes more sense here.

As you can see above the vege garden opens into the chook pen and then out to this large paddock that they have free access to daily, lots of insects and worms out here. Having them here also keeps insects down in the vege garden.

This pic is from the hilltop where the goats milking shed is, from here you can see the green house and chook pen surrounding it. We have 23 chickens and one rooster. 10 are ones we hatched and raised ourselves and should be starting to lay soon....

We have had a sprinkle of rain in the last 24hrs which makes everything nice and green, also makes it a good day to be working in the vege garden. At the moment we are harvesting cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, capsicum, chilli, zucchini and asparagus....Lots of salad food perfect for the weather we are having.

Today I planted out the garlic bed, now I already have some shallots planted in here but they will be havested soon and more garlic will go in. The potatoes are down the other end of the vege garden as I will be planting onions in the next bed and they shouldn't be planted close together.
I have planted my own garlic that I saved from last year,I also got some from Diggers club called Italian Late and New Zealand Red... Not sure what mine are as I just saved them and forgot to mark them so I called them Mandy's Mix hahahaha....

Soon to go in
beetroot, carrots, cabbages and lots of brassicas, also broad beans.....
Such a wonderful time to be in the garden as it starts to get cooler....
Have a great week all, we are heading to Brisbane on the weekend to watch our grandson Mason Swim....Really looking forward to seeing them all...
Blessings

Mango'

I have also been drying herbs and making tea, the tea has been really successful. The one we have at the moment has Lime verbina, lemon grass with blue butterfly flower that make it a wonderful deepblue colour. It is great hot or cold. I like to add lots of ice on a hot day... so refreshing....

FLOWERS...This summer has seen some beatuiful blooms in the garden so I am glad to share them..
Really whatever we have excess off we put out in the stall. All the money we make goes into buying grain for the animals..We may be small here but all the animals have a job to do and nothing goes to waste.

Our veges and fruit are all chemical free, so anything I make is chemical free as well...
If you live close buy come for a drive one weekend and stop at other farm roadside stands on the way...Bring an old book you have finished reading and swap it in our Book Swap Libary it is out every day....
Do you have an excess in your garden that you could sell to help with feed or seed bills...I hope I inspire you to give it a go...

Hello and welcome, it is a beautiful overcast day here today so makes working in the garden so much more enjoyable.
Last week I used the last of my frozen goats milk to make more goats milk soap..

Thankfully my beautiful girls have had their babies and have lots off lovely milk again, so milking is back on the daily list.
You have to freeze the goats milk other wise it will curdle when you make the soap....

Then blend just like normal with your oils, I don't put any color or scent in the goats milk as those that want it like it plain.

I also made lavender soap, the lavender needed trimming so was a good time to make it. I soaked the lavender for 24hrs flowers stalks and all and then drained it...I ended up with a nice lavender tea that I then used to make the soap....

Then leave soap to harden for at least 24hrs this depends on the weather and soap you make, the lavender takes longer to set then the goats milk...
I then cut it all up and stamp....

I have been making soap for over 20years now and never not want to make it...I love coming up with new ideas for my soap adventure. Over Christmas I had fun making Christmas soap using paprika, green clay and activated charcoal for colours.

And yes I didnt take photos off them, hahaha these are the round ones but the block looked so much better....
I also made a Summer Nigths soap. Sitting outside the sky was red and orange as it was starting to get dark and then the new moon was there as well..It was one of the most beatuiful skies I had ever seen, so I made a soap to remember it by...And it is ready to go this week.

Once I have made my soap it goes into the racks to cure for 6 weeks, I try to make soap every week so there is a new soap coming out each week.
Did I mention I love making soap hahaha...My garden inspires me as well as the night sky..

These are some I have made with roses,calendula,nettle, peppermint and also a night skies one....The spring one has dried oranges in it and is amazing the oranges took a bit to dry but well worth it. I also like to decorate my soap with dried flowers....
I hope you enjoyed my soap making journey....

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a fashion parade, and the guest speaker was very good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am so sorry I have forgotten her name. We sat at the same table and had a good chat and I still can't remember. Well she was inspiring...</div>

I must say that her stall was the most pretty there.</div>

This girl has style, took some greenery and transformed the gazebo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The table Jess made all on her own as well.</div>

Jess's range of pure soy candles are called Jersey. The name was a nick name from her friends</div>
