Back after a while

Post: # 97650Post Magpie »

Hi all
It's been about 3 months since I last had access to the internet, so I am feeling like a newbie all over again on here. So many new folk here, but so many familiar ones too.

We are now living at our land, in a converted coloursteel shed, and have our vegie garden going too. I had a successful potato crop this summer, and are harvesting from 2 whole broccoli plants now. :? Biggest challenge in the garden so far is the wind, being coastal we seem to have it all the time. At least our frosts shouldn't be so severe!

Looking forward to going back through some of the old posts, congrats on the book, by the way!

Hiya Magpie - great to see you are back! Wind can be an advantage in the garden, too - keeps flying pests away!
