Ahhhh – a man and his chook!!
Poor Squirt isn’t feeling so well and has been spending her nights inside the house in a cat carrier stuffed with hay. I hope she perks up soon – she is definitely Jeff’s favourite.
Today was sunny and only moderately windy… so we went down the back and burned off a fair bit of rubbish (household & yard)
This area is an easy dumping ground for weeds & prunings etc.
I love fire.
We have been here nearly 6 years now… and still we find ‘treasures’
Like this spoon. Just sitting there under the macrocarpas like it has been there forever. How have I not seen it before now? Maybe a crow dropped it off.
In among the big old trees are lots of leftover ornaments from previous owners.
Maybe once I have my new herb garden extension done I’ll use them up there, just for the fun of it.
These two look like they have been at the pub for way too long!
Random wombat
Actually she looks kind of cute there
These birds are a little freaky…
Not complete without a couple of cherubs
The frog is there to stay. The tree has grown around it, so that is Mr Frogs forever home.
Anyway, I had a lovely time burning ‘stuff’ A lot more needs to be cleaned up, but we got rid of a lot of the weeds that had dried out and other scrappy sticks etc that were littered around the place. And it kept me warm.
The girls were very excited to dig under the area I cleared. I am sure there was a bug-buffet under there!
Moving right along to the hothouse!
I really think the tomato plants had seen their best days behind them
I feel a lot better about this. Now I can start planning on what to grow in here. I know its too early to go mad… but I am sure the next month or so will disappear fast enough.
The passionfruit I moved to the hothouse is doing fine. Its even putting out new baby leaves.
I love passionfruit and really hope I have done the right thing by putting it in here. Time will tell I suppose.
I have a lot of whitefly in the hothouse. I think I breathed in a lot today!!
I have read up a little on what to do. Vacuuming was one suggestion!!!
(Trying to picture Jeffs face when he catches me in the hothouse with the Dyson!! haha)
There was some interesting ground cover doing quite well in the hothouse… I liked it but have no idea what it was – so I moved it outside. We shall see if it survives.
And, to top off a reasonably productive day, I finally finished off my batch of BBQ sauce! Winning!
Cheers!
