Digging and Soaping

This was the patch I’ve been procrastinating about.
I knew it was going to be no fun to dig.
I considered making a no-dig garden but I am running out of straw and new soil…. so…
Flex the muscles and call in the husband!
Jeff helped me out here which was great. Lots of twitch in here as well as a heap of grass clumps that had no intentions of coming out quietly!
For a relatively small area – it took a LONG time.
The soil is actually rather nice – big improvement on when we first started using the area a few seasons back. I reckon the potatoes will do well in here.

Apart from general watering etc, I didn’t have the oomph left to do any other gardening.
So I went inside and made soap – another two batches.
Yesterday I made a double batch of the cedar and saffron – its so lovely.
Today I unmoulded the dragonfly ones – leaving them an extra day made a difference in the ease of getting them out too.

Such pretty swirls! I am addicted to cutting the loaf soaps haha

I had enough mixture to make a few of the square soaps too.

Bedtime for me!
Hope your day was fabulous 🙂

Cheers!
