Home Again

Look at that! The garden says ‘Welcome Home’ with the first tomato sighted!
It was a busy few days in Ballarat, wonderful to see Rachel again and check out her properties. I think I took about 1000 photos!! (Add ‘post processing’ to ‘To Do List’)
Rachel has done an incredible job over the past 8 years of buying properties, renovating and furnishing them, then renting them out on short to long term basis along with weekly housekeeping.
I had only seen the first ones, so it was fabulous to enjoy looking through a number of them over the past few days.

Lovely to be home. Pip sulked a fair bit apparently, but wasn’t too badly behaved. Jeff cooked me dinner upon my arrival home which was just fantastic!

Today I treated myself to harvesting the first plot of garlic! So very chuffed with the size of the bulbs overall!

Smells amazing! Just letting the mud dry. Will brush them off tomorrow and find a place to hang them. Since we have visitor #23 due in on Tuesday, best not hang them upstairs as usual…

The cucumbers look so much bigger in only a few days!! I even see some efforts towards fruit!!

Over the next few days I need to get Megumi’s room ready and a general house clean.
Probably some gardening in there as well!
I think the corn has mostly bounced back since the Evil Rabbit Incident, so I think I will leave them to do their best and put another plot in where the garlic just came out of!!
Best laid plans and all of that!
Hope your week has been going fabulously!
Cheers

Snow peas! Slowly the salads are getting more interesting!
