Going Organic
Although I have enjoyed gardening for several years now, I have only recently become committed to organic gardening. It’s not that I didn’t like the idea or think it was worthwhile, it is only now that I’ve really started learning more about it.
I would prefer to spend much more time in the garden than I do now. My front and back yards don’t look too flash, but my vege patch does!
My Vegetable Garden

In the patch: capsicum, chilli, beans, corn, lettuce, beetroot, broccoli
I haven’t been using much in the way of pesticides on the vege patch and I haven’t had too much trouble with pests, but I have used Roundup and similar poisons to try to deal with the considerable grass problem. But no more. I’m going cold turkey.
Wish me luck!

There’s an interesting blog thread here about private sales on www.realestate.com.au
http://www.business2.com.au/2009/04/10/private-sales-now-on-realestatecomau/
It is based around the fact that some licensed agents are using their ability to add property to realestate.com.au and offer this as a stand alone marketing package, thereby listing private sale properties on what is an agent only site.
Whether you agree or disagree that it should be for agents only is not the point. It is the blatant abuse of the system by agents wanting a quick easy buck and wanting to enhance their profile on realestate.com.au
If agents are actually signing sellers up with a listing agreement they have a duty as a real estate agent as governed by the Real Estate and Business Agents Act. So if they are simply listing these properties and doing nothing else, is that in breach of the Act? Any thoughts?

My Mum used to say I would sleep through an earthquake, and she was probably only half joking. But I woke up this morning before 3am with insomnia. But I’m putting it to good use. At least I think I am.
I am hoping a blog will help me tie all my different identities together. I don’t mean I have split personalities, just all the various personas I have out there in cyberspace, from a personal profile on facebook and my own website experiment at myvegepatch.com, to mostly business related tweets and updates on websites I work on professionally.
My work is in the real estate industry in Perth WA and I am passionate about both real estate and Perth. I enjoy gardening and growing vegetables, cooking, camping, diving and watching my hubby spearfishing.
I have become very interested in social media marketing and enjoy learning about the constant evolution of the internet.
Looking forward to learning more about blogging.
