Our 1st Day

Today we started our new family kitchen garden. This is our journal of our efforts!

A few days ago we chose a spot right next to the kitchen, which meant Molly & Jet (our dogs) had to move out of their area. As a side project we will be constructing a new dog run for them (but more of that later).
We left Bowie in the yard  to eat down the grass and add some horse poo (well, pony poo really)!!!

Today we:
  • Elected members for each job                                                                                       
  • Photographed the areas around the house
  • Measured the garden
  • Measured the dog yard & calculated materials required
  • Named our garden ...."Dragonfly Downs"
  • Cleaned out rubbish
  • Collected Horse Poo
  • Weeded (wow there were so many!)
  • Sourced materials
  • Drew a garden design
  • Started a garden budget
  • Purchased some plants
  • Started an online blog (& managed to change the date & time)
