Hello!!
I totally forgot to sort my photos and blog last night. I have no idea what I was doing. 😀
Anyway, today was a super spring day! Mostly blue skies. The wind was a bit chilly but a lot of my work today kept me pretty warm.
Actually I started the day with a B12 boost as I was beginning to slow up!
Thats not the ouch. The ouch is happening now- every time I am silly enough to stand up haha
Anyway, I really wanted to fill another raised bed – so I wheel-barrowed several loads over to tip in. (The way the yard is set up, I have to do a long round trip!!)
I then put more hay, bit of blood and bone and watered that in, then topped up the rest with the soil/compost.
Then I scavenged about and found enough strawberry plants to fill it! I am still trying to source new ones for the other deep raised bed.
Grow little strawberries – I am fanging for homemade strawberry ice cream again!
So… that job done, I moved on to the current wood mess and helped Jeff, who was cutting up everything in sight with the chainsaw.
I was stripping useful branches of the fluffy stuff and setting them aside and burning the rest.
No chance of lighting a match in the wind I thought, so I grabbed a big chunk of glowing embers from the house fire…
Eventually it all took off nicely!
In other garden news, the seedlings that we planted at the workshop look pathetic… lol. They’ll perk up. Most have little new leaves showing through
Pretty rapt to see the cos lettuce seedlings emerging already!
And the photos that I was going to share yesterday… I’ll share now.
Lots of pretty spring flowers starting to really make things more cheerful about here!
Lovely colour everywhere!
Anyway, going to take my aching self to bed – although first I have to extract Pip from his warm towel!! 🙁 I feel so mean!
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers!
Beautiful blooms; so cheery & springlike! What is the gorgeous blue one (not the forget me not)?
Hi – good question. Still investigating. Came in a pack of mixed seeds ages ago. My cousin Beau is looking at possibilities!! (he is into plant ID)
Spring is so lovely isn’t it!!
Good Morning Lisa, (still morning here.) I too would like to know what the pretty blue bloom is. We are heading full force into fall here and the only thing I have left blooming are sunflowers. The wind and rain are beating them pretty badly but still they hold up! Always love to see all your photos. Get some rest!
Sunflowers are always so cheerful! I just planted some seeds today! Still looking as to what the blue flower is. My young cousin Beau likes to ID plants so we are still looking!
Will let you know! Enjoy the autumn! Beautiful enjoyable time of year I think!
