Ever since we've had a house of our own we've tried growing our own fruit and vegetables. At times it's been rather sparodic, sometimes sucessfully sometimes not.

So from a site that was basically a blog that was updated whenever the urge took me, we now have My adventures in backyard farming". This process has suprised my wife as it has become a bit of an obsession.

Over the last couple of years we have tried growing chillies and tomatoes with the odd  vegetable crop thrown in. Now though we have got a little more serious on our journey to self sustanability.

This site will hopefully be updated on how our journey into urban farming develops, so have a look around and feel free to comment on what's happening in our little patch of the world.

We have some native bee hives, two aquaponics systems, a chook run, vegetable gardens, fruit trees and soon some honey bees.
