Back into the Dirt

Look at the jobs waiting for me!!!
I had a lovely week with my friend, Cherie! Its always fun catching up with people you haven’t seen in an eon!
I drove up to Launceston yesterday to drop her off at the airport, so it was a long days driving – a few fun stops on the way too.

Back to staring at the garden!!
I wrote a looooong list of things I really need to get into!

I started today by – sleeping in!
Then I figured I’d put some stuff out the front to sell.

Er… not the best choice of day. The wind was diabolical! (At least it helped the laundry… two loads dry in a flash!)
Still… Made eight bucks! Yay. On my way.

I’ll wait and see what the wind is doing tomorrow before putting it back out again. Hopefully it will have calmed down.
I worked outside all afternoon and the constant wind makes me quite skittish.

So – the other half of the strawberry patch! Ugh. What a mess. The sorrel really took over. I heard it likes an acidic soil too so I am not going to use the pine needle mulch this time.
It took ages to separate the strawberry plants and painstakingly pick up the occasional exploding balls of oxalis!
Maybe tomorrow I will dig through the compost and replant the strawberries.

I now have 9 trays of strawberry plants!

Bedtime for me!!
I have plenty more on my list to tackle tomorrow!

Cheers!
