We bought 4600 seeds...

...or thereabouts.

Bron and I just spent an hour and a half pouring over the scintilating Eden Seeds heirloom catalogue, and may have gone a little overboard on the purchasing front. We are in the process of setting up a whole new 20m x 12m section of the yard as a macro food forest.  We have already planted out the fruit trees around the Eastern, Southern and Western ends to form a sun trap (over time) and have now purchased the seeds to plant out the whole middle section with vegetables, fruit vines, legumes, pumpkins etc etc. The Southern end of the area bounds our property, and instead of a fence, we are thinking of making a Hugelkultur to make a seudo fence, and maximise our productive area.  We kind of figure we may as well do something like that, and then cover it in strawberries and the likes so passers-by can enjoy a little fruit if they are game.

We will be sure to add some photos shortly, as well as a review of the Eden Seeds products and service. I will also try  to do up a digitised plan we can put up here so you can see what we are doing with the space we have. The intention is to make the most of the area and fit as much food production as we can.

We will keep you updated with pictures and progress as it comes along.

If the Eden Seeds website claims are correct, we may well have our seeds by Friday - today is Wednesday. That would be incredible customer service if they get here that soon!  Imagine that, I could be planting all of Saturday at this rate...
