Winter garden beans
We have our first winter vegetables coming through now. The smallest plants are the ones pumping out the edibles!
From last years green-beans experiment I'd expect about one or two 4Litre ice-cream containers worth each of the green and yellow beans from the plants here. The broadbeans and snow peas are experiments. The stalks are some summer-corn-stalks left behind as something for the snow-peas to climb.

Junk Shed micro upgrade
My neighbour is upgrading his sheds. He offered one of his old ones. I stupidly said "yes". Now I have a job to do. :(
The old shed was a fiasco. It had a surreal hinged door in the narrow path you see between the two sheds. It opened into the path... away from you... and hits the other shed. Just incredible.
This new shed replacement barely fits in the existing space. The doors are on the face I can't use, so I'll be modifying the old shed door to fit this one.
This old narrow shed on the left took barely any effort to kick over.
There was a door here. Absurd. I patched it a couple years ago and moved the door to the end face (where there was previously an entry by way of a missing wall panel), but it was always a hack n slash fix as the door flopped around without a frame.
Good riddance garbage shed. Hello garbage fence?? Oh man there's no way I'm dealing with that. Someone hand me the 3 meter panel so I can cover this junk up!
Hello new 2nd hand shed that barely fits.
A proper foundation is for chumps with cash. Steel: meet small stone paver.
The left panel has sliding doors. I fastened them together. This closest end will need a door installed.
Kerblam! Instant door. I had to shorten it by about 150mm, and I also have more wall space to fill.
So that's done. It's pretty ugly, but an improvement on the old shed. It's more sturdy, the door isn't floppy, and a little larger. I guess this is a win.
Old shed panels to be dealt with.

Moar Coarn.
Jana and I ran some sprinkler-hose through the corn field because it was becoming a nuisance to get water to the middle of the HUUGGE field. Looks pretty good. Also looks like it's time to borrow dad's mulcher and get rid of some of those branches in the background though...
A tiny visitor came over to show off her new bike seat. Nifty!! Now she can ride over any time she likes!
