Yard Work

Hello!
How is your weekend going??
It was a very spring day – swinging between sunny to windy to raining and back again!
We did a quick lap around the river track. Jeff was trying out his new backpack . Its nice seeing a bit of colour out in the bush now too!

We were going to do two laps, but ended up just doing one as Jeff wanted to mow and I wanted to get the front path cleaned up.

It was good timing actually because when we finished the first lap it was raining a bit anyway, so we just went home and had lunch. By the time that was done, so was the rain!!

Pretty much everything around the yard looks shabby. So much work to be done to get things nice & not least get the vegetables in!!
But we also figured that having the front look a bit less scruffy was a good thing to work on.
Jeff got out his mower and I tackled the weedy path. We want to get a couple of loads of new woodchip for it (tomorrow??)

Things look so much nicer after a spruce up!

Jeff helped me finish off the path and boarder.

I stuck the spade in and cleared the grass from the edging which improved things no end!

I am now looking forward to seeing the path topped up with its new woodchips! A vast improvement!

I realised with horror that I had completely forgotten about those poor rhubarb I brutalised and replanted!! I hadn’t watered them since the day they got moved!! I went down to water them yesterday and saw they were actually pretty happy looking!

The garlic is going along well too… although the whole area needs a good soaking! Can you believe it is dry after all that never ending rain??

Sneaky chook followed me into the garden!!

I found two little lavender plants growing in the front pathway!! One is really quite sturdy. So I put them in pots and if they look ok, I’ll add them to my stall.

The outside snow peas are doing fine.

Baby cherry plums appearing!!

All in all, not a bad Saturday!!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
