The forecast was for rain.
This is what we got!! Super day!
Emma and I did some work at Ruby’s, but will save that story for tomorrow.
We had to empty the trailer of Ruby’s Birthday Compost, so we could get down to the beach and load up on seaweed grass (Best Aunty – taking her niece to the beach – haha)
We finally got home around 2pm where we had a pretty late lunch.
Emma had a school project to work on, so came in for a shower and a quiet afternoon, whereas I dragged poor Jeff back to our garden to do a little fence rearranging!
The bottom garden I added on a couple of seasons ago, and really – the middle fence is not actually helping anyone or anything. So we pulled it out – keeping in tact as much of the cabling etc so we can reuse in other areas.
We also had to redo the bottom fence since the chickens kept coming and going as they pleased… and I can’t plant anything much until it is all properly chook-proof!
Wow – there was some effort to get out the stakes!!
Its really opened this area, and I reckon I will be able to make better use and access the whole garden more easily. (and yes – I need to do a LOT more weeding!)
Late in the day I finally got around to getting a few bags out of the trailer and mulching my garlic!
I was pretty excited to see my snow peas have started to pop up!!
And last, not least, my very first rhododendron flower has come out! This tree was transplanted from Ruby’s place a couple of years ago, and hasn’t flourished – due to lack of TLC on my part and scant water. Looks like I might get a few flowers this season! How nice!
Hope everyone had a fabulous day!
Cheers!!
I’m so glad you have a blog! I love reading all about your gardening and Aunt Ruby. I’m going to go back and read everything, wish we lived closer to the beach. I’m in Central Alabama, USA, a good four hours away to the gulf. I get seaweed when I can for the garden. My, you have such black soil to work with, I’m impressed with every thing. I’m a Big Mavis follower also.
Hi Sue! Thank-you for dropping in!!
lol “I am going back to read everything!!” Wow – 🙂 Cool!!!
Whats the weather like in your area? Are you winding the gardening season down?
My friends who lived inland used to take a trailer when they visited the beach and loaded up on seaweed! 😀
Well… since its not raining right at this moment, going to try for some weeding! 🙂
