Spring is here

Spring has hit with full gusto thankfully, we now have 7 chicks born in the last week or so, the lambs are just starting (with the first born last Tuesday), and the kidding is about to start (we think one of the does is in labour now, it's one of the Kiko's).
Watch this space for cute baby animal photos.

In other news, Connor is starting to run around, the vege bed is doing really well, Steph and I are quite chuffed about it, we've got radish, silverbeet, spinach, carrots, capsicum, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, chives, mint, sage and strawberries.  We've pulled out the last of the brocolli which went through winter quite nicely.  So over the next few months I intend to make the vege garden quite a bit bigger (first adding 2 more 900x2700 beds and a 1/2 size one, then by pushing the fence out into the back lawn to make it about twice as big (and I'm thinking about using the pig paddock as a temporary pumpkin growing area shortly.
