So, the other day I managed to take Rachel to the beach at high tide – and there was pretty much no beach.
Couple of days ago at high tide
And then today where we arrived at low tide
Same lump of wood! No water!River is a trickle and acres of sand at our feetMum & Dad enjoying some beach time (and no rain)
Earlier this morning, we said goodbye to Rachel, as she headed south to Hobart for a few days, before going back to the mainland.
My parents took our car and went to visit a few people, while Jeff and I donned the gardening clothes and made good use of the beautiful weather
First things first… I found a wayward chicken in the vegetable patch!!
I found this evidence of where she had been!!!
So, we had an impromptu wing clipping for Screecher. She stayed on the right side of the fence the rest of the day, so hoping she is now too unbalanced to be able to fly over the fence
I got back into the duck-yard garden. Lots of weeds to attend to.
Everyday I have been looking for the appearance of the beans. Everyday – nothing.
Then today:
Suddenly there are about 10 of them well and truly up!I wish my vegies grew as well as my weedsFirst priority to pull out anything flowering… however with the paddock unkempt next door, fighting a losing battle! Never mind. They will slash and bale at some point.
ImprovementsSeveral wheelbarrows full taken out – and still not finished!Zucchini’s & PumpkinWeeded!Slightly more under controlStill tucking up the tomato seedlings – bit of wind resistance for them
Anyway, it was a productive and enjoyable day.
Hope yours was great too
A happy traveller through life!
Right now living in NW Tasmania with a gorgeous Nurse-Husband, a fool of a Siamese Cat and several chickens.
We love our fairly simple lifestyle of growing a lot of what we eat and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our little patch.
