Fluffy New Neighbours & Nearly Spring Flowers

What an adorable little face! We have three lambs next door – cute little bleatings drift over the fence at random times of the day. I love their little leg-warmers. They need them. NOT nice out there tonight.

Anyway, they make me smile as they wobble about and then go for a drink with their tails madly wagging!

As mentioned – utterly miserable out there.
I thought I better do something to brighten the day for the chooks – so I baked them a cake. Lots of weird things added from the fridge/pantry/scraps.

My wheat sprouts that are sitting under the leaky skylight are growing well

So I yanked off a handful of those too

A perfect chook picnic basket.

My oh my wasn’t it a hit!

I went back later and nothing was left!

So – whats on the growing front??
I checked out the duck yard… no sweet peas showing but I did find the snow pea shoots! (This means I need to get back into the garden as soon as its not feral weather to plant the rest of my snow peas!)

The lettuce is growing fabulously… the marigold germination rate is a bit sparse so far

I was also a bit excited to see some of the rocket sprouting so quickly!

Because I was outside, I took a few other not-quite-spring flower photos. Its nice to concentrate on the pretty things and breathe the (very) fresh air!
Enjoy
Cheers!

  1. Lisa, you mentioned once before about planting ‘rocket’. What is it? I haven’t heard of it before.

    I look forward to your blog everyday. I feel with reading your daily news and beautiful pictures, it keeps our lives closer.

    Lots of love

    1. Hi Judy! Nice that you chatted to Jeff today (while I was snoring my head off haha)
      Rocket is a salad plant. It has a bit of a zing to it so its a wonderful leafy addition to green salads. Rosemary introduced me to ‘rocket, feta & beetroot’ salad and I was hooked. Hopefully I can grow it easily!
      Glad you are enjoying the stories 🙂

  2. Love it when the flowers start to bloom. When I lived in
    Northern Nevada every spring the grape hyacinths would push up through the snow and bloom. Makes you smile.

    1. How lovely to see flowers in snow! I bet that was really pretty!
      Day by day its a bit prettier out there… even if the weather remains dodgy! 🙂
