Beach & Garden

Hello! It was a pretty nice day yesterday out at Black River Beach. The wind was a little cold at times, but we kept walking and collecting shells etc for a fair way up the beach

Was good to take the shoes off and get nice and sandy!

Megumi enjoyed seeing a new beach and collected quite a few shells.

So many of these particular crab shells were washed up on the beach

On the way home we swung past Rocky Cape NP to take a peek of the view from the lighthouse

A good photo op!

Back home in the garden its great going around the various tomato plants and finally seeing so many little tomatoes getting started

Even those laterals I planted out are starting to produce!

And the ones I dug up from the corn patch already have small tomatoes started

I am training my pumpkins away from the watermelons that seem a lot slower in the growth department.
There are lots of pumpkin babies starting, but nothing has taken hold yet.

Today I spent a less active day, but got a bit of work done on Rachels property photos which makes me feel better about things. I was hoping to have them completed by the first week of the year, but haven’t been up to the task!
After spending a fair bit of time on the computer I escaped outside to do some cutting back in the herb garden. Jeff had gotten in there and pulled up the twitch on the pathway which was great. Looking forward to really cleaning this place up.

Very satisfying to give it all a severe haircut

Anyway, thats about it from my end of the world tonight!
Hope your week is trundling along well!
Cheers!

    1. Hi Jennifer!! The flower is a type of dahlia actually!! I love having random flowers in the veggie patch! The dahlia bulbs reproduce really quickly – I thought I had dug them all up but clearly not! Still got a couple of patches of them that keep appearing!
