Home Stuff

Hello!
The day after we got back from our hike I did quite a lot of work in the disgraceful bbq area (again)
I should have stayed put inside and rested, but the weather was good and the next day pretty wet, so that worked out ok.

The embarrassing ‘before’ photo. Its been a LONG time since getting in here (clearly) and when in a rush doing other things or tired from the end of the day – it is a very inviting place to ‘put’ stuff.

Back to square one.
Lets see how long I can keep it under control.
I moved the two green compost bins to the veggie garden. I’ll use one for leaf litter and coffee grounds and maybe one just for grass clippings?? Not sure yet. But what leaves I swept up in here I put straight in one of them as a decent start.

Finding buckets and boxes of shells and rocks (what a surprise) so I weeded the ‘rock garden’ and added the rocks I found.
Then added water – I never get tired of seeing the amazing difference!

Just an updated view of the garden.

Carrot seedlings are clearly up in their rows.
The snow peas are starting to find places to cling on.

Flowers on the raspberry canes!

Galahs waiting for their share of the chook food.

The white garlic –

Potatoes! Ready for a bit of a hoe between the rows and mulching.

Have decided to start growing wheat sprouts for the chickens.

And after checking daily forever – nothing nothing nothing… climb a mountain, return and look! Lateral ready for planting!

My cousin Abbey dropped off some eggs for the front stall – and gave me some seedlings. Lettuce and spinach I think!!
Cool!

Hope your weekend has been splendid!!!
Cheers!

  1. Love your rock and shell garden. Summer before last we went to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where the beach was full of beautiful rocks and not many shells. They’re stunning colors and quartz sparkles when wet. We picked up so many that we had a self-regulate and decide to only keep a few!

    1. Thank-you! Its a cute little spot!
      I am glad to hear you enjoyed the rocks at Cape Cod the same way we do!! Always such a hard choice to leave so many behind!!
