What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

I suppose with specialist breeds like yours the price per egg is more expensive than regular eggs?. But they give you enjoyment. Cant put a price on that. My nan kept chooks. I was scared of them lol

I typically don't sell my eggs. we give them away to the food bank, or my OH's workplace. On the very rare occasion we sell, its $5 per dozen which is about as much as people will pay, at least those who are happy with caged eggs. I see the end product as having come from a living animal. I know how much it costs to feed them as house them, keep them healthy and free from parasites etc.

You can just make out the tiny bird feeder directly above the rightmost deer.
 
I'm trying to reinvent the garden up the top. However, it's the dry season, so that means I'll have to water the space every day, which is a problem because we only get water once a week.
 
It's a bit quiet in the garden.
And just when I assembled loads of recipes with yardlong beans, my beans decided it is time to stop producing and to stop being...
So I seeded an other area :)
 
I still got loads of eggplants.
I'm now thinking of salting them, washing, squeezing out all liquid and throwing them in the freezer.
Should take up less space than blanching & freezing
I already got eggplant in oil and pickled eggplant...
 
My gardener did wonders yesterday.
He sieved the soil up the back, removed all the stones, levelled off all the earth, watered everything, planted the passionfruit , absolutely brilliant. Now (ie, tomorrow) I just have to organise the chile plants because they're not growing in the pots any more. Ditto, some grape tomatoes.
