Creating a garden from scratch is always fun.  I like to recycle as much as possible.

Most of the material I have used was already on site and I've simply re-purposed all that I can.

The framework is almost complete.  Now we wait for the seeds to sprout.

These are the plants I am attempting to incorporate into my garden.
I planted the seeds in May purchased from Australian Seed.
As at August 8 2010 only the Warrigal Greens have germinated
As at Sep 3 the situation is still the same - hopefully the warmer weather will bring results.
