Today I have been as happy as a little pig in a muddy puddle! Mother Nature took a break from being a maniac, and the rain ceased for most of the day! So on went the gardening clothes and we dived right in!
Starting point todayPlenty to do
My goal was to (apart from weed like mad) get my new raised garden bed placed where I wanted it
Slowly looking better – Jeff in the background on a one-man vendetta against the twitch!Haven’t decided what will be planted in this spot yet
I took a short break to play with the chickens… they follow me like little lambs, so I did a few laps of the yard with them hot on my heels.
Rewards for providing me with entertainmentWe are getting 8 or 9 eggs a day now. I REALLY need to go rustle up some customers!
Back to work!
This is the area we removed the fence from to open it up
I’ll get a trailer load of topsoil to help fill this as we won’t have enough of our own compost just yet
And what treasures did we dig up today? Apart from a small broken bottle, there was this weird hard ball…
Plenty of fat worms
And best of all a 1980 twenty cent piece!! Score!
I now have $110.20 in my kitty to get to Texas next year!! haha
And since yesterday my little tomato has shot up and even better, was joined by about 20 of its mates! 🙂 Gotta be happy about that!
weird how something so tiny will produce you many kilograms of fruit!
It was a great day, a really good feeling to have made significant progress!
A happy traveller through life!
Right now living in NW Tasmania with a gorgeous Nurse-Husband, a fool of a Siamese Cat and several chickens.
We love our fairly simple lifestyle of growing a lot of what we eat and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our little patch.

Oh, love to see a tulip, even past it’s best! Sigh. We are heavily into mum season. Keep those lovely Spring pics coming. Thanks for sharing! Karen
Spring! New beginnings. I think you need to work harder for the Texas trip. That piddling amount won’t get you far ?
I’m back in Texas and will be for a long time. After our stay in the valley we want to explore the state next year so we’ll meander around checking out the different climate zones. Should be fun!
LOL – I am confident that twenty cents will make all the difference!! 😀
Excellent! Back to where the weather will be nicer to you over winter! I suspect my trip (lets assume I will save enough) will be June or July next year. Would be AMAZING to catch up while I am there!!!
I see photos from my friends who live there and there are some gorgeous areas in Texas! be looking forward to seeing some of yours when you get into it all!

Even dying, they have a certain beauty!
