the good life

I have always enjoyed that old british show the good life with felicity Kendall and think I have urban aspirations to a vege garden some what akin to theirs, however I fear the possums may have their own ideas but.. so far so good, we planted some basil, mint, thyme, marjoram and lavender last week, it hasnt been touched, then we found a pumpkin growing that I had stuck a seed from our friend Jodies pumpkins in the soil in a vain hope that it might grow... it did! when i was digging the compost into the soil we discovered some huge earth worms the size of my little finger, sebastian says "oh yuk I dont want to touch that" hmmm I think we have a little ways to go getting him a bit mucky!
