Mum of 3 building a backyard micro farm in Brisbane. Turning 450m² into fruit, veg, chickens and chaos.

Sharing the wins, the fails and everything in between.
🌱 Bananas, mangoes, rainbow eggs and too many plants.

I didn’t grow all this fruit just to feed the birds and bugs! 😂🍎

After waiting months for fruit to grow, I’m giving mine a little extra protection with mesh bags. Fingers crossed we actually get to eat it when it’s ready 🤞🏼

Growing your own food is a whole lot of patience and a little bit of defending your harvest! 🌱

What’s your biggest fruit thief: birds, bugs or your own kids? 👇🏼😂

🫐 Growing blueberries in Brisbane? Absolutely! 😍

There’s something ridiculously satisfying about picking fresh blueberries straight from your own backyard!

Although, let’s be real, half the fruit I grow never actually makes it inside the house. 😂

I’m slowly turning our 450m² Brisbane backyard into a little food-producing paradise for our family of five. Three kids, a ridiculous number of plants, plenty of gardening experiments and absolutely no guarantee everything will survive! 🌱🤣

These blueberries are growing in pots, proving you don’t need acres of land to start growing your own food.

💚 Brisbane and Australian gardeners, I want to know! Are your blueberry plants thriving or are they giving you grief?

Follow as I figure out just how much food one suburban backyard can produce!

The hardest part of growing your own food? Actually getting it into the kitchen! 😂🌱

My mulberries are ripening here in Brisbane, and apparently I have absolutely no self-control when it comes to picking them straight off the tree. 🤣

There’s something so satisfying about growing your own fruit, waiting patiently for it to ripen, and finally getting that first taste. 💜

We’re slowly turning our 450m² backyard into a little food-producing paradise, one harvest (and one snack) at a time.

Be honest, does your homegrown fruit actually make it inside, or are you guilty of eating it straight from the garden too? 😂

Nothing says “I’ll just quickly do this one little garden job” like ending up needing another trip to Bunnings 😂🌱

Apparently my Brisbane backyard micro farm runs on sunshine, questionable decisions and an alarming number of Bunnings receipts.

BRB… I need supplies. Again. 😂

🎃 Apparently, my pumpkin didn’t get the memo that winter was supposed to slow it down! 😂

Not only did it survive winter, but we’ve already got our first pumpkin growing!

If you’re heading into pumpkin planting season, NOW is the time to get those seeds ready! 🌱

Gardening in subtropical Brisbane certainly keeps me guessing!

Who else has a pumpkin vine that just refuses to quit? 😂👇

The girls have been showing off! 🥚🩵

Fresh eggs and a little rainbow in the nesting box. Never gets old! 😍

Which colour is your favourite?

WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO MY CAPSICUM?! 🌶️😂

Well, that’s certainly not what I expected to find in my garden today!

I thought I’d cut this rather questionable-looking capsicum open and investigate. Now I have even MORE questions. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is the reality of growing your own food. Some days you get beautiful harvests, and other days your garden produces something that looks like a science experiment.

So, gardening brains, HELP ME OUT! 🧠🌱

Have you seen this happen before? What do you think caused it?

Growing food certainly keeps me entertained!
