September 2012 Summary


Despite spending most of my mental and physical energy dealing with the fox, snails, weeds, and a drama with irrigation (more on that latter), the garden has kept on producing. September saw us reach 40% vegetable self-sufficiency, 3% up from last month.

  1. Great harvest, Jason! We still have to buy onions, but we've managed to harvest a decent quantity of potatoes at last! :)

  3. That's a great harvest Jason. I'm glad the girls are feeling confident enough to lay. I still have my fingers crossed for them.
