“Man-Ferns”

Well – its been a good weekend -fun and constructive!

I barrelled out of bed this morning (ok – not that early and I did crash into the doorway as I am not good at moving in straight lines until coffee, toast and one hour has gone by) anyway – had to get to the market to buy wheat for the girls before my seller sold out.

PLUS – I knew some friends would be selling man-ferns (or tree ferns as they call them on the mainland) and I was keen to finally get some.

We don’t need the temporary water-storage tanks anymore (yay) and they aren’t so pretty so it was nice to move them out of the way, where they await new homes.

Three of the four pallets we used are in surprisingly good condition! I am sure we will re-purpose them at some point

And hiding in the pallets was a feast for the chickens!

Eventually they will grow up and get nice and leafy and hide the boring tanks a bit!

This is what I am aiming for:

Well… next step was to try to sort out the mess of our path that the flood ruined.

First stop – Compost bin!

Jeff dug me a hole and planted the rose bush that we dug up two years ago and stuck in a barrel of water. It didn’t die!!! Insane!  I finally felt guilted into action to plant the poor thing (ok – Jeff did the planting, I just felt bad!)

Also put in the pigface cuttings to hopefully grow around the rocks

It did rain off and on today – got cold and hot, but it was great out there again being constructive and making plans!!

Hope your weekends were fabulous too!

Cheers
