Spring!

It has been a long time since my last post, and a lot has happened since then. The biggest news being that I am now a wife!

The farm has continued to develop. A bare rooted apricot and black currant tree along with a ruby red grapefruit and lime are new additions. Although the lime dropped its leaves not long after being planted, new growth is proving that it is still alive (see photo).

With wedding preparations taking priority recently, the herb garden has been neglected. The recent sunshine forced me into action on the weekend. Although there is still some more harvesting to be done, I thought I should take a photo of the herb garden with my coriander that is over 1 meter tall! The parsley was a similar height, but is now chopped and living in my freezer.

Birthday Surprise

Today I was surprised with a new herb garden for my birthday. While I had been away having fun at my sister's Hen's party, Tom was busy building. It has already been planted courtesy of Jane and with a bit of love I will have herbs in no time!
New Herb Garden

Another calf was born on Saturday, so now we have two young girls running around. Both are still to be named. If anyone has any suggestions, this year they all have to start with 'G'. At the moment we are thinking "Gippy Girl" for one considering we live in Gippsland.
