In the garden this week

 The 2 new chickens are doing well.  They get to free range for a little while, and they go back into their little house when they've had enough.  Very well behaved for now.
 I pulled out the rest of the carrots before sowing more seeds.  I didn't realise there were so many hiding underground!
 I green raspberry- I think we'll be hit with cold again this week, so not much chance of ripening.
 My tub of garlic
 Row of radishes- I haven't grown them before, but they were very common in salads in England, so I thought I'd give them a try.  World's easiest and quickest crop to grow.  We have grown daikon radishes before, but not these little ones.

A row of kale, and about 75 little leeks.  I planted some leeks a few days after Christmas, and have started harvesting them, these will grow over winter.  I prefer growing these to onions.

In the garden...nearly harvest time

 Grapes and more grapes not super sweet, but not too tart either

 Trombocinos climbing up the fence
 Chook mix (autumn/winter) from Greenpatch organic seeds, a mix of oats, barley, spinach and bok choy.  I won't be feeding it to them from the box, or they might eat the foam.
 Last of the echinaceas
 First of the anemones- must be autumn
 Andrew's watermelon (moon & stars)
 One of Liv's pumpkins
 Chillis

Linking up with Jacqui this week from Dusty Country Road, sharing what's happening in the garden.  You can head over to her blog  and leave a link in her comments if you have a garden post to share this week.

Autumn nature table

Here are the beginnings of our autumn nature table, can't wait until we can collect some autumn leaves once they change colour and fall off the trees. Autumn is my favourite time of year, I'm not a huge fan of the heat of summer. Just have to survive 35 degrees C tomorrow, then hopefully there will be no more hot days.
