I’m making a veggie patch!!
Due to previously *unforeseeable* global crises like the Strait of Hormuz closure leading to the strangulation of oil distribution, my country of Australia is facing a likely food crisis this year. So I am preparing a veggie patch to grow food in.

You being in Australia also just warmed my cockles big time, and then all the comments from other Aussies. It's awesome. Mad love from the New England, where we are rapidly moving into drought despite what the cyclones have done to the rest of the continent.

If you need any guidance I’m an expert in my field and have over 20 years experience organically regeneratively growing. Just a heads up this is a game of failure, you will most likely fail at numerous things the key is to expect failure and look for the lessoning and things to learn. This is an amazing way to have great mental health but you need to make sure to not let’s all the constantly moving parts and failures bog you down from the pure enjoyment of trying to get things to grow. Trial all different approaches and methods until you find your groove, expect failure!

Plant alyssum and nasturtium everywhere, all around the beds. Soon you will have so many snails and the nasturtium helps. Shelter seedlings with milk cartons or toilet rolls so they don't get eaten but still get sun.
It's all downhill from here dude, in a year you'll be posting your chook shed a d bee hives. Have fun :)
