Hello! Whats on everyones weekend agenda?
I figured it was time to give the chicken coop a bit of a clean up – the weather was lovely and hot, so figured the whitewash would dry out super quick.
I am excited to see the corn has silky bits!
Everywhere I look I have little tomatoes forming!
If they ripen I will be able to stock up on my sauce and relish again!
Was good to see the bees out working in the sunflowers
Dinner tonight was great! I thawed out some rump steak for Jeff to BBQ, and I thought I would make some stuffed tomatoes as a side dish to the steak, potatoes & salad. Its a bit of a favourite and we haven’t had it for ages!
Its so easy – just scoop out the middles of the tomatoes and smush or puree.
Whizz up some bread crumbs and chopped herbs (I also like to add garlic salt)
Mix through the tomato pulp and spoon back into tomato cases
Tonight I topped them with butter, basil and parmesan cheese. Five minutes under the grill and done!
We thoroughly enjoyed!
Hope your weekend is fantastic!
Cheers

The chicken coop looks fantastic as do all of your photos. Beautiful as always. The bees on the sunflowers are a happy sight.
Thank-you!! I was so pleased to see the bee’s – so few this season! 🙁
I agree! I really like seeing your before and after photos of the chicken coop. My daughter is wondering what kind of flower is the pink one with two petals (the third last flower photograph). Our Sunday plans are to go for a walk in the forest after church and lunch, it’s gorgeous outside today so we want to enjoy the warm weather while we can ?
I hope the weather held out and you had a lovely walk! Its good to take advantage when you can! Raining here today! The garden will enjoy.
haha – I KNEW someone would ask me about that flower! Ruby gave me the pot and I haven’t killed it yet. I will take a photo of the whole thing. Its quite unusual – and do some googling… stay tuned!
Hahahaha! Sorry to be “that” person in regards to the pink flower.
We ended up getting invited to a friend’s house for lunch so we spent the afternoon there and had a very short walk after but it was still gorgeous.
I was just checking up on Mavis’ gardening blog and she already has daylilies coming up, I’m still going to have to wait about 3-4 months for those! Craziness!!
Have a great day and enjoy the rain, your gardens look amazing 🙂
lol – I have my Canadian Florist on the job. Hopefully she knows what it is.
Nice to have lunch with friends and a relax! And still managed to fit in a walk! Well done! 🙂
Thats a big difference between your garden and Mavis’s!! Everyone up your end of the world must be so ready for spring!! 🙂
Hi Amy – My Florist came through with flying colours – Euphorbia milii or the Crown of Thorns plant!! Its actually a type of succulent!
Here – (See if I added that link correctly.)
🙂
The link worked perfectly, please tell your friend thank you for us for finding out the name of the flower and we’ll look for it at the greenhouse 🙂
No worries! Will pass that on – good luck finding it!
