Summer is Here!

Yep… of course summer arrives, heat wave across Australia and somewhere in Tasmania it snows!!
I don’t have the fire on tonight but we have had it on the last few evenings! (Much to Pips delight)

Sharons husband Paul was kind enough to come around last week and cut that huge tree leftover into nice big slabs.
Our chainsaw is not nearly big enough to deal with that size.
From there Jeff was able to split and stack the wood.
We’ve also got a couple of nice slices we’d like to ‘do something’ with!

I got to and emptied the trailer of the last of the soil I picked up from Sharons place too… so lovely when sifted

This garden bed was the next on my list

I mixed in some mushroom compost and sorted it out. Moved the tomatoes out but left the lettuce in (which the rabbits have found so… another net to be put up hopefully tomorrow!!)

I want to put more lettuce in… both seeds and seedlings as well as some baby spinach etc.
Will wait until netting sorted.

Didn’t have the heart to pull out the couple of lettuce that were going to seed so nicely.

I didn’t know what this was until it flowered! So… chucking out random calendula seeds DID work!!

I think the feverfew needs a bit of a trim.
The pathway is a bit tricky at the moment.

Excited to see that my borage self seeded… and lovely new flowers are appearing

How good is the rocket??

And last but not least… scratching about for dinner!
Sadly one of the potatoes was glassy but the others were fine.
Still a bit of time before I can bandicoot the official 2020 potato patch…
Waiting waiting!!
Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

Cheers
