Bit More Gardening

Hi.. Just attacking a few more spots in the garden.
I think I am about done with the wedding photos – Bride and Groom are meant to be popping over for dinner tomorrow
In between I am going to have to go back to the dentist… developed quite the ache that aint getting better. I am a bit bummed because it seemed to behave so nicely to start with.

The blueberry patch sprouted some tomato plants! Finally thought I might tie them up and tidy things… not sure how many decent warm days for ripening we’ll have from now!

Its a 3D tomato jigsaw… or pickup sticks or something!

The fungi are cute

The tomato plants have done well without any help from me!

A bit more sensible

I picked the pumpkins and pulled out their vines…

This has had its day…

Brought Flossie in to ‘help’

Just one chook in the garden at a time is enough

Then I start hearing lots of other ‘chook noises’ behind me!! I was SURE I shut the gate!

All of them! Teleported in somehow!! (and ate the red tomatoes!!!)(They went the long way around through a gate I had left open then marched into the garden from the other side, hence me not seeing them!)

I think the garden below is a ‘destroy and start again’ scenario

I started digging up the twitch, then decided I didn’t want to be doing that until Christmas so gave up. (its awful)
Will think about what to do…

One of the blueberries is looking pretty!

Time for bed I think!
Have a great day everyone!
Cheers!

  1. do you have any tips you would share on growing pumpkins? i saved some seeds from last fall and would like to stick them around a few places to see what happens in this year’s garden 🙂

    1. Hi! I haven’t had oodles of success the last couple of seasons with pumpkins…but our summers have been a bit awkward. If you can get them in a really rich composty soil thats something they love (They tend to pop out of peoples composts all the time!) I try to plant mine somewhere where they can ‘free range’ lol and run all over the place as they please with minimal input from me
      They germinate well… I like to pre grow them as seedlings (more than I need) and then plant out the best… and have the others on standby in case of sudden death by snail or chook etc.
      I really hope you have some great success this upcoming season with them!!
