On a beautiful spring sunday afternoon what better to do than work on the garden?! We're trying to expand our vege garden this year from a sad little 1m by 1m plot growing mint, beets, and other plants that grow like weeds no matter how much you neglect them, to a lush impressive garden that will keep us stocked with fresh veges throughout the summer.

The problem is, I have a serious love hate relationship with gardening. I love the idea of secret gardens, growing my own food sustainably, fresh veges, having a green thumb, and trudging around in gum boots and floppy hats. But then there's the flip side: plants have painful thorns, there's creepy crawlies, and ferlizer smells like... stinky fertilizer. But, with a little persistance, the end product of a nice garden is well worth it.
The whole aesthetic around gardens is so magical and features widely in high fashion photo shoots:

But come on... give these ladies a shovel and some topsoil and get back to me.
