A Day of Not Rain!

A day without crazy rain! Bliss! Even got Pip out and about for a while!

Bit different from the last time I photographed this view hey?
Jeff took a risk and got out there on the mower and cut the long overdue lawn

I went out and raked and filled all my compost bins up

The chooks had a lovely day – but I don’t think this quite qualifies as three eggs do you?

I went out into the main veggie patch and did some haphazard weeding

Its very gluggy and slow going, but I enjoyed it

I think I want to try to move this rhubarb… I like this little plot as a carrot patch. I think I can find it another spot where it can spread out happily and not be in the way.

The obligatory worm photo…

The first of the cherry blossoms are out! One side of the tree has these small little blossoms. Later on the big fluffy ones will explode out!

Back in the hothouse lots of pots are looking quite hopeful. I am especially pleased with the cucumbers

The zucchini and pumpkins are also doing fine

Lettuce bouncing back beautifully

Spindly little tomato plants

The tomato seedlings I bought are thriving. They are developing some nice little laterals that I have my eye on!

If I get some nice days, soon I will be able to put up a stall at the front and see if I can sell off some extra seedlings

The snow peas are charging ahead… the beans are only just starting to make a move

Duckling-bat update… Sadly one little chap didn’t make it this morning. Not sure why. The others are full of beans – very fast and still climbing walls! Gudrun tested them on some foods. Clover, grass, duckling food, lucerne… nope. Worms and slater bugs – a big hit!
Guess what I will be doing tomorrow? Scouring the yard to capture bugs for my little bats! Gudrun will collect them Wednesday! lol – the weird things you end up doing.

It was heartening to get out in the sun! Hope your day was great

Cheers
