Phew, in full tradition of software releases, i've decide to dub my veggie patch/garden project "Rosario".

Note: any coincidental conflicts are solely accidental and you can ignore this or rename your own project.

I've blogged a bit about the changes done and my plans - but finally, my work is 99% complete as more will most likely come in future versions (the wife is the project manager so of course there'll be more work in the future..this is just the beginning and the possibilities are endless).

This weekend was probably the worst - it was hot..well for a Danish migrant living in Western Australia it was. Yesterday, when i put in the last bed and the paving between the shed and the fence, we hit 30-32 degrees Celsius and today when i finished the last touches on the bed we reached 35 degrees Celsius. So hot, hot, hot...

That's how it looks from the front now.

The wife has already started planting/placing the seedlings she's grown in the bed and they're thriving.

Now to find another project to start on - will consult with my better half as i'm sure there's more around here i can do..

It’s really nice to know that there web workers out there who trying to mix a touch of nature into their everyday life.  By the way, what seeds did Madame Wifey grow?
