@Koukla – thanks Sweetie. After the amount of effort and work that went into it (and I can still feel the aches and pains this morning) I really hope we can get some good vegetables for Dina to add to our meals.

We’re working on getting the Baroutsos Family blog online soon and I might very well post those updates there – but I’ll keep y’all updated

I’m laughing so hard I can hardly stay seated!! (conversation between Babis and you)

That’s looking like a great start Sweetie! You’ll need to dedicate an entire blog site for all the updates and photos when your garden takes off. Then you will need to post photos of all the good food Dina will be cooking from all the vegetables it produces. I can’t wait until I get mine going again this year.

I am looking forward to watching the progression. Best of luck for a ton of good veggies.

@Babis, thanks mate. Yeah tomatoes are also regarded as fruits although they don’t go too well in fruit-salads, so we’ll keep them for the Greek ones, m’kay?

We planted the seedlings with soil improver and I’ll keep an eye on them during the week and if they start looking like they need better soil I’ll get some more the weekend.

We might just need to get a butt for our garden with the hot summer weather we’ve been having the dams have probably dried up/been used up already. I don’t think we’ll be putting Fruit & Veg City out of business any time soon but at least we’ll hopefully have a few ‘free’ veggies

Hey boet, nice patch. Nice pun on the fruit but you know that a tomato really is a fruit, right? Don’t stick it in a fruit salad though! It looks like you need some kaka, or compost, on your patch because it looks like the soil is a little poor. Do you have a large butt? I don’t think a large butt would look big in this – garden of yours. It would be great for gathering free water for your garden. We have 3 and they are fantastic! Free water from the heavens that you don’t have to pay your utility company for, and no blooming tax on it either. Nice! I hope you have a blooming good time and get lots of fruit and veg!
