Great video Kev, loved it, so much work you've done there. What a great idea giving the girls a bucket to collect the caterpillars. I bet you can't wait to be rid of all that building site too. One comment, I noticed that Sea Buckthorn that you've got in your second veg plot, which you said had grown enormous, well, I'd have that out right away if I were you. They grow wild around our area, and truly they are monsters which will take over any ground and send up suckers all over the place (like the Goji berries!)So whip it out quick and put it where it doesn't matter if it spreads. How are the Chilean guava bushes doing this year?Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463317651625459406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-84279228967658340552016-09-16T09:39:10.022+01:002016-09-16T09:39:10.022+01:00Just can't beat the english accent once sound ...Just can't beat the english accent once sound quality is impoved!Great homestead garden Kev...very productive with various interesting plants all growing happily:) Definitely one very busy homestead...how do you manage that?...I supposed well behaved children contributes a lot to it!!
