We have a problem with pests, too. Fruit flies have ruined so many crops of tomatoes and stone fruit, and the cockatoos can strip a tree in less than a hour:-( They can be mindlessly destructive which is even more frustrating!

I know you will appreciate it!<br /><br />His cousin came over to our home and showed my son some of the mud pies that she had made while playing in her yard. The first thing my little guy asked was, "Are those pies organic?" The things they pick up on! I just had to chuckle inside!<br /><br />Your gardens are so beautiful. Here in the US where I live, we are dealing with the heat. I am so amazed at how green your gardens are.

The house is on the far east side of our property and the gardens, yard, garage, chicken coop are all west of the house. The cedar fence, you can see it behind the raised beds, is our privacy fence, on the other side is a small grassy area and then the road.<br /><br />I would love to have you living next door :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-74067379437982222812012-07-03T20:05:10.789-04:002012-07-03T20:05:10.789-04:00My pleasure Kim, glad you enjoyed it :)My pleasure Kim, glad you enjoyed it :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-79463517602770918862012-07-03T20:04:48.785-04:002012-07-03T20:04:48.785-04:00Yes, it is the best!
