Hello! How is everyone today? We had two summer days in a row!! Score!
So – while my newsfeed on facebook is full of people dashing about shops, Jeff and I thought our time better spent in the notorious Duck-Yard to sort out our weeds (again!)
(Seriously – this time of year I only venture into the shops if I am desperate! Even in a small country town the Christmas crowds can be a bit much!)
So pleased with these heirloom beefsteak tomato plants. My sister, Michelle, gave me the seeds. First time I have successfully raised tomatoes from seed!! I’ll call it a double success if I get tomatoes.
Was a pretty huge day – my arms are feeling it a bit!
We still have a bit more to sort out, but we had to quit, as there was still the watering to do and some raspberries ready for picking – and we wanted dinner sometime before midnight!
Sooooo – into the raspberry patch I go
We also got our first cucumber! Salads are becoming more interesting!
We really enjoyed dinner tonight – Ok – we skipped lunch and worked up an appetite, but still… I did some teriyaki chicken, with steamed new potatoes and a lovely fresh salad – lettuce, snow peas, cucumber, basil & a bit of cheese.
Dessert? Home made strawberry ice cream topped with fresh raspberries.
We are totally living the Good Life
Cheers!
Everything looks lovely your hard work is definitely paying off. Good for you to avoid the shops. Happy Christmas to you…way down under!
Thank-you – it was great to get in a proper days work like that.
And I hope you have a lovely Christmas too!! 🙂
Dinner sounds lovely and you deserved it after all that hard work!
I’ll be roasting potatoes and Brussels sprouts later for our dinner
eating fresh again is SUCH a treat! Loving it.
oooo – roast potatoes – my fav!!
