These are my oats that I planted as a green manure. They've grown long enough for me to till them back into the earth. I'm bulking up the soil in this small plot to plant my organic lawn - I bought a mixture of lawn seed that is suited to my local conditions. I think I already mentioned that it will be watered with gray water and it will reduce the erosion that has been happening with every rain.

The chicken coop (dog house) is being painted with an organic sealant at the moment. And we are building our chicken run. Last time that I discussed seeds, I had the feeling that some had gone missing. I have since found the rest of the vegetables I planted: more eggplants, tomatoes, chillies plus cucumbers and peppers.
I've been so busy at work these days that I think the gardening is falling behind! Will make sure to work extra hard this weekend. Phew..
