Sunday Activities…

Hello Beautiful Sunday!
Well… it wasn’t raining or blowing a gale, so in my books – beautiful!
I actually managed to get sunburned at the markets today despite it being rather heavily overcast!!

This afternoon I took Emma and Alasdair down to the river and set them off to paddle for a couple of hours!

The wind made it hard work going up river, but coming back down was a doddle! And at least no-one fell in!

Meanwhile I thought I would do some more therapeutic weeding. Most satisfying

As always, my little crooning fanclub kept me company

Got some more sprawling tomatoes under control

Decided to put in round two of the lettuce

Bit of shelter while they get used to life out of the hothouse.
Pulled up the last lot of garlic. Now I have a large plot free to put to good use!
I love the hothouse. Its so lush!

I am enjoying the few flower patches that I deliberately planted… I haven’t done much of that in the past… the flowers had mostly been put in before we moved here and we just get the pleasure of them.
But the ones I have done this season are a real patch of cheerfulness at our back door and is rather inspiring me to get on and continue developing the back yard into a mass of cottage garden plots. Something to entice the bees and look beautiful as well.

Sweet peas have done a great job climbing up their frame
Sunflowers are so fabulous

Marigolds are so easy – easy to collect their seeds and easy to grow.
I never imagined this patch would be so successful!

Enjoy what is left of your weekend and have a fabulous Monday!

Cheers

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.
