Getting Packed

Pip’s daytime resting place of choice!! Not that there isn’t a squishy comfy couch three feet on the right or anything!! Cats!

We got a lot of our bags packed and organised. Presents mostly sorted.
I am feeling less twitchy with some tangible progress.

It was a lovely lovely day out there today. I enjoyed going out to water and attend to a few tasks in between holiday organisation.

My second lot of seedlings have mostly come up pretty well. The chives are the only thing still yet to make an appearance.
Got watermelon, more tomatoes, more basil, thyme, chilli, onion & leek

I have promised the pumpkin (that is up the back of the photo) they are to be planted out tomorrow! They are getting way too big for the pot!

Happy with the tomatoes!

Lillium budding

This girl is a bit poorly. I give her first go at the porridge before the other greedy-gutses get into it. We don’t have the luxury of time to bring her in to nurse her… I hope she will come good on her own.

Snow peas sprawling all over. With the wind they haven’t had a chance to latch onto the fence. So I finally got around to giving them a helping hand and tied them back against the fence. They can do their thing now

Of course the minute you do something interesting in the garden a pack of stickybeaks come around to investigate. And eat your tasty new snow pea leaves!!

Chooks thwarted!

Forget that blue & green never to be seen rubbish! They are gorgeous colours together!

The pear blossoms came and went quickly. Lets hope for pears this season finally??

Most of the zucchinis are going along well
Round two of the runner beans look like a success

The cos lettuce are doing amazing – just need to get in and do some weeding. Also in here are lots of self seeded broccoli and tomatoes. Hoping I can relocate them before I leave.

The little tomatoes I planted out are quite happy. Still under containers at night

Pretty pleased with the broccoli progress too!

The rhubarb is clearly really happy!

The lovely iris are coming out! So happy to see some before we leave.

And while the cherry blossom is doing its thing, you are going to see more photos (because I can’t help it) haha
Hope you are having a great week!

Cheers
