Gardening

One of my 11 goals was to plant some vegetables and this I started after we had the wattle tree cut down as it started to break branches. 
The 'soil' was 15cms of leaves that were mulched down, but I was sure of actual soil value, so dug in some enriched soil then planted some lettuce and Broccoli.
Accompanied by Sage in pot behind that is Thyme
 As a bonus to my efforts the compost has grown a pumpkin- butternut!

This is the second one that has appeared. There is also an Avocado growing up at 3 f t now!
