The jonquils are out super early. I’ve picked some today to put in one of my cat vases… they smell strong but remind me of being a kid playing in the paddock!
At least… I think these are jonquils… now I am looking at them I am wondering as what I picked today looks quite different. Hmmm…
These are all just snaps from my tablet. More just record and progress shots. Which is quite nice for me as I am not fretting about getting in to photoshop to make things perfect!
Like the garden above …. NOT perfect!!
I found a lot of sprouting garlic in clumps in this patch. I clearly did a terrible harvest job last season!
Feathery helpers…
Pathway potatoes
Death to a few worms but they had such a lovely time!
Done. But too late for planting on that day…
I got back a few days later to finish it off
Bit of blood and bone and then I poked holes everywhere
I planted a few of the part grown cloves just to see how they do compared to the only just sprouted ones.
The day before Cousin Jeff dropped off some manky wood!! I dropped the ball this year about being properly stocked up and I am not sure how long we’ll last out this winter. I have plans for collection over summer….
This lot was pretty waterlogged but is drying out nicely in the wood shelter
Its probably going to burn a bit quick so he has left a lot of it in BIG chunks
I had to clear out a spot so I could still access the properly dry wood.
For better or worse…. thats it for this winter!
Of course there is no dry wood available at this time of year.
It might come down to just having to dress up a lot more in the house! (I can tell I am going to pout about this at some point) 🙂
A week or so ago there was another break in the weather, so this (ahem) garden bed (under the lawn somewhere) was next.
Such a pain in the butt job! I used the spade to re define the edges and went from there.
I plan to put potatoes in here in September…
Finishing the last corner was agony (such a drama queen)
The soil was gluggy. Stuck to everything and my boots kept picking it up so I grew a few inches
Lots of worms too
Finally the fun part!
Mulching!!
Luckily there is still a lot of straw in the car port.
That will keep the weeds at bay until I am ready to plant.
I need to get some more blood and bone to scatter in and some compost…get the soil a bit richer.
Another plot down so little by little the garden is gaining plantable spots!

(Ugh… I am itching to run these photos through photoshop!! haha. Its killing me)
