Just helped the youngest son to build a new garden bed for the DIL. It is very geometric. [emoji4]

I hope that his veggies grow better than his lawn[bigwhistle]
Nice job with the woodwork on the bed though[bigrolf][biggrin]
gardening is a tragedy I'm sure.
we were away most of last 3 mths of 2019 cruising so let anything growing die.
this year had no luck , with the drought , then over 250ml rain in one day in January, then the weed rush and inability to mow for weeks
so, I've prepped beds , seeded, tomatoes died , corn rotted or eaten or chopped down by corellas , carrots didn't sprout , I planted watermelon , rock melon , loofahs , cucumber , and only the rockmelon has come on.
I have one saving grace , I have SE Qld's most prolific lime tree. For a week I put a sign in front of my house , free limes, people stopped and took what they wanted. A few days ago I gave a box of over 200 limes to the Lighthouse Care Organisation. I still have at least 50 on the tree, which I am in process of pruning heavily.
I will try again to grow a few vegges , but we don't need them really as we use hello fresh these days and everything is supplied.
He's a carpenter. The DIL designed it, he made it and I held things, dug holes and shovelled stuff.Quote:

Maybe kneeling in supplication to the Rain God may be better.
Good Luck with it. We've been having 40kph+ winds here which are knocking our seedlings around a bit. I haven't been game to thin the broad beans yet and they're getting a bit big for their pots.
Always something, hey?[biggrin]
There is a Good chance that I will have to cart some more water before winter sets in properly But this little bit of rain we are getting now gives me a bit of a reprieve and the cooler weather is also helping.
All the heavy work is now done (building, digging and planting) so all i really have to do now is to keep on top of the weeds and maybe water a few times yet.
At last it is starting to look like a veggie patch [thumbsupbig]
We have had screaming NE winds ( up to 113kph) all day which created a massive dust storm that has destroyed a good portion of my garden[bawl]
The dust only stopped about 30min ago So I went out for a look and was pretty broken hearted at what I saw, Ill see what I can salvage tomorrow.
