I have got one of those snake repellers near the vegie garden and haven't seen one since (could be coincidence...).<br /><br />Thanks Zara - I love the fence too.<br /><br />Heidi - Not sure about the spam either. Thought it was worth a try. So true on the old posts. Maybe they think that people who don't moderate comments won't notice on an old post? The digger and loaders get a lot of work in our garden.<br /><br />River - thank you. I have got marigolds planted in amongst everything - I do that every year. Lots at our old house and just a few in the last few years but more now as a bigger garden. They make it look pretty too. We are waiting for it to cool down and then will plant a mulberry of some sort to give partial shade. Otherwise I will not keep anything alive in our summer. We had a huge gumtree in the corner but the middle had been eaten out by white ants and it was very dangerous so it was removed. This was a shame as we really liked it.<br /><br />Thanks Mel - some of my family and friends occasionally comment anonymously so I want to leave that if I can. Thought I would put the words on for a fortnight or so and see how it goes. Spam is so annoying. The main culprits for eating my vegies are usually rabbits - the high sides of the vegie patch help.A Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094401205258678969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923254699323311906.post-76173802111735338132013-04-15T21:23:59.522+08:002013-04-15T21:23:59.522+08:00Veggie Patch is looking brilliant! Very impressive...Veggie Patch is looking brilliant! Very impressive. Love the progression, it's very much how we started in pots and then onto a bigger patch. Hilarious about the front loader mishap. I'm a big fan of the raised zinc beds but in the end we opted for straight into the ground, which has it's own issues (mostly due to my dear husband not making decent sized paths between beds!). We had major kangaroo issues just after our patch started thriving so haven't done anything since as we are waiting to get some better fencing happening... <br /><br />As for spam, I was also getting 30+ a day and all I did was stop the anonymous comments and it stopped all the spam immediately. Not a single one since and no need for word verification. I've never had anonymous comments though so it hasn't made a difference to people commenting.<br /><br />Mel xMel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923254699323311906.post-14921204065798198592013-04-15T19:32:59.431+08:002013-04-15T19:32:59.431+08:00It is looking very productive.
As well as veggies,...It is looking very productive.<br />As well as veggies, grow some flowers to bring the bees for pollination and to confuse the bugs such as ahpids and cabbage moth, etc, maybe put in a few fruit trees, perhaps multi-grafted for greater variety and dwarf trees so they don't get too huge?

I'm getting around 30 a day. You're obviously more popular! It seems too that they target certain posts (mostly older ones), and this is why the one on our trip to Florence ages ago is now my most popular blog post... it gets all the spam. <br />Onto the vegie garden... it's looking really good, and quite large too. Laughing at the Farmer's tools of preference for vegie gardening. That is exactly what my husband would do if he had access to a front end loader too. Total overkill. I still admire you for gardening in such adverse conditions. Seriously, if I ever were to see a snake in my vegie garden, that would be the end of it!

The raised beds look great, we're tossing up whether to use something similar or just plant straight into the ground.
