And so it begins.

We have mixed heirloom beetroot, candy cane beetroot, 1 Roma tomato and 6 Cherry varieties, Tuscan kale, 3 types of eggplant, Capsicum, banana and birdseye chillies, rainbow chard, mixed lettuces (seeds sown) and rhubarb. There are butternut squash planted to grow over the arch. Grown from seed are climbing beans, 3 types, and cucumbers in the 3 grey trugs at the back and asparagus peas and cucumbers in the single trug on the right. I sowed herb seeds in the flexi tubs on the stand earlier and the first, wild rocket, has just appeared.

And now we wait.........

W**d suppression cardboard and plastic is finally gone after a 12 month battle with entrenched w**ds.

Compost and manure added to beds and they are ready to plant out. Will be buying a few starts to kick off the patch then starting seeds for the succession plantings.

It has come such a long way.

Hi All. My name is Toni. Welcome to my page.

I have created this page to share the journey of the rescue of my very overgrown, w**d infested garden plot. I am still a beginner gardener, so I am sure I will have a lot of fails. I am in a temperate zone on the east coast of Australia. I am hoping to be able to provide the majority of my vegetable and citrus needs. The W**dy part of the title speaks for itself..... the Achers is a nod to the fact that I am not as young and resilient as I used to be. I am a full time carer and the garden is my happy place, my retreat and my exercise. I want to share my journey with you all... the wins and fails.
