Veg Patch // Part One

Finally we have made a small start on our Veg Patch. 


While at my Great-Great Aunts 90th Birthday my wonderful husband surprised me with getting started on our veg patch. 


When we moved into our little home there was a lot of rubbish on the block that we had to remove, amongst this rubbish was a cast iron bath tub which we couldn't bring ourselves to get rid of. 

As much as i would love that some how this bath tub could be installed in the house, it will be used in the yard as our herb garden.

It is a work in progress, thanks to my thoughtful Dad-in-law we have a start of some Thyme and Rocket.

I'm cooking Osso Buco at the moment using fresh Thyme from our herb garden...it smells delicious and we will soon be enjoying a hearty winter warming meal.

I will keep you posted on the progress of our Veg Patch but for now here are some pics of what we have achieved so far.

Long Weekend Projects

Seeing how i am in a decorating/gardening type of mood this week. I am thinking i will take advantage of the 5 day long weekend and do some things around our little home.

We have some mix matched timber dining chairs...they are starting to annoy me. We are saving up for some US Navy chairs...replica's of course ;) but in the meantime i think its time to rejuvenate our current chairs. I found this little project which i have decided to do this weekend.

We have some recycled timber sleepers that we were given by some friends and we are going to get started on our veg patch...with the guidance of my river cottage handbook. There is nothing i love more than being out in the garden on these sunny autumn days with my husband.
I also really like this outdoor planting table on design*sponge but i think this will be a project for another weekend. Don't want to do too much work...i have a book and a few magazines waiting for me to read.

Get outdoors & enjoy the sunshine!
