Beetroot Search & Rescue

Well! Forget anymore housework! Perfect winters day!
Time to get out there and so some real work! Yay!

Can you see my beetroot?
Its under there somewhere.

After a bit of cutting and hauling…

I rescued quite a good number of beetroot. Basically they had just been covered and not pulverised.

Some of the wood was struck into the ground like javelins!

Its so messy and tangled! My aim was to cut and remove all the smaller bits that I could to make it an easy task to get back in with the chain saw to cut away the bigger pieces.

Couple of pieces of my rebar were a bit bent!

I extracted them in the end and I am sure they will straighten out again.

I was beginning to see a lot more ground

Some surprising things survived – like this little fennel plant I found

I was quite heart-broken to see my beautiful sprinkler that my best mate made for me had been flattened

I was really delighted that when I cleared away all the branches, it came out intact with only a little bend to one of the feet!

All the connections look good too! Amazing!

By the time 3.30/4pm rolled around I had some nice big piles of branches made and some space in my veggie patch created. By then it was getting quite chilly so I gave up, went in and cleaned out the fire and started it anew.

Hoping to get back into it tomorrow if Jeff stays awake after his nightshift. (Sometimes he does sometimes he just can’t! 🙂 )

Enjoy your weekends!
Cheers
