Hello!
On the first day of 2020 I decided to pull up the white garlic patch.
It was all starting to look a bit done – and the bulbs were certainly big enough.
I was smart enough to bring the wheelbarrow down this time!
Of course, they have to be artistically laid out so I can get a nice photo to show off with!
Seriously. Pretty pleased with this lot. 🙂
I left them out to dry a bit so I could brush more dirt off, but of course there was a sprinkle of rain. So I’ve put them on a table in the bbq area for now. Will have to sort something out in the shed to hang and dry.
We are getting a few plums. Most have not even started to ripen. The birds are getting into them too – we won’t get many for ourselves.
The birds got back in and dug up the Hugelkultur bed. Sigh. Poor struggling pumpkins. I’ve renetted it.
The second potato patch is lush!
One remaining apple cucumber on the second hugelkultur bed – which is somehow growing random potatoes and tomatoes!
Galahs having an afternoon siesta waiting for the chickens to get fed again.
Blackberry from the back paddock coming in. Might as well get the fruit before cutting and digging it out!
I filled the garlic patch with all the butternut pumpkin seedlings I had! I think its too late in the season… not that there was any choice with the weather… anyway, whats the worst that can happen?
Weeded one row of tomatoes.
Time for a manicure?
Nice pickings yesterday
A few roses have bloomed. I need to cut back the rosebushes hard once this season is done.
And the day lilies are out! Love the orange!
Today I watered a lot of the garden and cleared the dining room table!! 🙂 Well… its not totally cleared but its an improvement.
I did more soap (lots to be photographed) and spent a fair bit of time picking raspberries.
More jam in my future?
Hope the start of your year has been excellent!
Cheers!
