Hello!
I made it into the hothouse!
Noticed not only snow pea flowers but an actual snow pea!!
(That I forgot to pick and eat… must grab it tomorrow!)
So… spring is totally here!
Oh, and oopsie on the capsicums.
Their little houses weren’t pushed down enough and some hungry slugs got in… damn!
So I did a double whammy on them… eggshell everywhere AND their containers!
Hope they recover!!
I bought my seed potatoes… looking forward to getting those in the ground!
I managed to grab a few hours in the waning light to put a few pots of seeds together…
Did I mention I can’t get my beloved mushroom compost by the scoop anymore? All the main mushie farms are now closed in Tas (Something about the big supermarkets buying from the mainland grrrrr) so the only mushroom compost is by the bag, not the usual trailer full!! Sooooo sad about that.
(By the bag is a bit more expensive… ie the two bags cost 2/3rds as much as a whole trailer scoop!!)
I’ll rethink my compost plan when I get planting. (Except the beetroot… the beetroot deserve the mushroom compost!)
I planted some pumpkin, cucumber, a few varieties of tomato and some basil.
Then it just got a bit dark to continue…
Will look forward to getting stuck into a few tasks when the weather isn’t so dismal… sooky I know, but I have lots to amuse me indoors while the weather is dank and gloomy and I really enjoy the sunny days getting out and digging etc!
(So glad I planted that winter lettuce!! They’ve been doing well)
The soap workshop went well yesterday! 6 lovely ladies took part – all very nice, keen and chatty.
Sharon put on gorgeous food as usual and there was time for me to make a demo soap with that special Taiwan Swirl design… always a crowd pleaser haha
Hope wherever you are you are doing well and your weekend was lovely!
Cheers!
