Weeding and Poo-Distribution

Hello!
Lots of rain here yesterday. Woke to it being pretty soggy again this morning.
Amused myself yesterday by making some soap – an excellent rainy day activity! I had a couple of supply orders come in so I was a bit over keen to try everything out as soon as possible!

The other day Jeff helped me get in and do some tiding up of the backyard gardens. He did an amazing job in the side one

Once I stop being wussy about the rain (or it stops raining) I’ll cover that with cardboard and mulch it heavily. Also planing on building up some rocks around the washing machine outlet pipe.

We also pulled up the lettuce, only saving a few key ones for the seed. And cut back the dill in the rock spiral.
Of course, there was more mulching (Planted a few new lettuce seedlings too)

The chooks were pretty pleased with their delivery of lettuce and a side of snails!

I got into the home made compost – its teeming with worms!!
I finally planted those nice colourful plants I picked up the other day when shopping with my parents

Have a bunch of laterals growing roots. Will hopefully share them with someone. Still doubtful on the season keeping some warmth for a while. Seems like summer is done before it really got going. 🙁

Anyway, I am off visiting – might do some more soap this afternoon if the weather doesn’t improve!
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers
