Hi there!
Another warm beautiful day here in Tasmania! Bit of a change from the 6 weeks of rain we had prior to leaving the country!
Jeff and I dived back into the garden today and did a mammoth effort in clearing weeds. I think we were out there for about 6 hours straight! I am creaking again tonight!
Not so many photos. But we put a decent dent in the weed (notably twitch) population and build up the dead weed pile a bit higher!
Once this part is properly done I will plant a row of tomatoes up the fenceline – got plenty of little tomatoes popping up all over that need a home.
Some of the young self seeded potatoes that I had to dig out (just too entangled in twitch and weeds) produced some nice little new potatoes. Looking forward to seeing these on the dinner table tomorrow night!
All up we got a fair bit done – still a number of hours work left in here. No wonder no-one has put their hand up to come and visit us at the moment!
Cheers!
Garden is looking so good! Will your chickens eat any of the weeds?
Thanks Teri – the chickens will eat some of them but not a lot. They do love kicking the weed pile about though, in case of worms or bugs! Certainly keeps them amused!
Looking much better. Weeding is an ongoing chore that never ends.
Thanks Carla! Yes! It is ongoing. I find myself plucking out little weeds in places that I have gone over already!
Still… very pleased to be getting rid of some of that waist high stuff! Its warm and dry and I don’t fancy competing with snakes for garden space! (I don’t really mind snakes, I just don’t want to garden with them!!) 🙂
