Hi there.
We’ve had some lovely spring days.
The potatoes are sitting up nicely through the mulch now
I weeded the second garlic patch… also threw mulch on and fed both patches some ‘power feed’ (Run out of kelp juice so I need to take up beach walking down at wynyard with a collection bag.)
This patch doesn’t look great but overall because I’d kept a heavy mulch on it over winter… it wasn’t too bad
Ready for … something!
And here is my problem child.
The raspberries are soldiering on despite me not getting back to them
I wanted to pull everything up and create raised beds but… didn’t happen for this season.
It was a long afternoons work and I am only halfway through!
I had the Bug Squad keeping me company
Kinda cute and kinda smelly – so nice of them to drop ‘Doo-Dahs’ right next to me when I am weeding.
Pong.
Still doesn’t look super fabulous but a def. improvement
Hoping to get back out there in a minute and continue.
Once both rows are done I’ll give them a good feeding and mulch.. although I’ll leave the mulch until Jeff is away and can help me re net the area.
Otherwise the precious little chooks will kick the hay right back out again.
We are getting a few sea mists recently.
Kind of cool watching it creep over the hills
It gets to the point of heavy fog everywhere
Out the back I pulled up most of the borage
Its a super bee attractant but they were getting too big and taking over.
Lots of smaller plants have seeded so they’ll be back soon
I can walk down the path again!
Although that lemon balm needs another haircut!
Lovely herbs
(Sage flowers)
The remaining apple tree is half dead but has put out some blossoms anyway.
Doubtful we’ll get apples…
Don’t have the heart to cut it down while it is trying… and don’t need another tree to clean up just yet
Calendula
OKies, Pip has been yelling at me for the whole time I’ve been typing this so I am going to go and take him for a walk outside before I explode having to listen to the constant whining haha
Then I’ll go tackle the rest of that raspberry patch!
Have a great day
Cheers
Your garden is starting to look great. Love the flowers.
Thank-you! Lucky I hadn’t put much else out. Snow around the state today. Not here but its cold again!
Lisa, so nice to see everything flowering and looking healthy ready for their growing season. Enjoy the beautiful spring days.

Thanks Judy! Gosh… snow around Tassie!! Not here but it got cold and we’ve had the fire back on. Luckily I hadn’t put my seedlings out. My natural distrustful nature of spring weather here!
