The 'Good Life' in a residential area



As you know we've sourced as much from local farmers, buthcers and markets as possible. But we're also trying to produce some of our own food.
Yes we live in a residential areas and we both work, so it just goes to show what can be done. This is only on a small scale at the minute, but gradually as we're learning and growing in confidence we'll continue to do more.
At present we're growing out own herbs; this is on a plot scale and has been incorporated into the landscape garden at the front of the house.

He's built an above ground veggie box in our front

and we have chooks in the back yard, 3 at the moment... And yesterday we had our first egg! Now theie only small when they start laying so I was surprised by the size of this one, it's with large free range store bought eggs. So fingers crossed to getting a few more!
