The new bit of vegetable garden, the bit that was the chook shed is doing remarkably well. The Practical Reinventor planted some species thoughtfully (potatoes, garlic, broadbeans) then added an array of seeds. Firstly because a variety of plants produces a variety of scents and that helps to confuse and repel insect predators, and secondly because she likes a riot of species growing together, something like what happens in nature.
In this picture you can see rocket, sunflowers, assorted lettuces, kale, and probably a few others.
For perspective. We did not plant those tomatoes and pumpkins. They most likely won't fruit, but you have to admire their spirit!
And that is a pizza oven in the background. Rescued by an associate from a former pizza oven, and (mostly) installed on the plinth we built something ridiculous like seven years ago. It cooks magnificently, but takes a good three hours to heat up enough to be effective. So we don't use it terribly much.
