In The Garden

Hello!
The weekend is nearly upon us again!
Firstly… apologies, something in wordpress automatically updated and the net result is that it won’t accept my replies to comments again!!!
Eyeroll. Yet to dive in to muck about and sort it. Bear with me 🙂

So… the garden!
I got in and put three of the cucumbers in the ground so they can start their long climb up the trellis! (They look so tiny now)

Then I made room for some of the basil I bought the other week as seedlings as mine always seems to take an eon to get going

They were in their punnets a bit long… a bit of soaking and all good!

The remaining punnet of capsicum had also been in their pots way too long… so finally set them free as well

I noticed a good portion of my new rocket had disappeared overnight!!
Damn… slugs on the rampage.
I thought. Until I walked out the back and spotted a fat baby bunny in the middle of the patch!!! Scoffing my rocket!! Oi!!!

Between the bunnies and the blackbirds digging up everything I’ll be lucky to have a garden!!

The oregano is going exceptionally well, so I picked a heap to dry

Carrots making an appearance!

I put in a fair days work in the garden the other day… got the beetroot in
Mind you since then I’ve had to net that patch too as the birds are enthusiastically digging it back up!!

The zucchini patch…

The zucchini seedlings were more than ready to go into a bigger space

They look a bit lost in here but it won’t take long and they’ll fill it all out.

Moving right along to this seasons butternut pumpkin patch

Bonus potatoes found in the clean up

The butternut seedlings were also ready to burst out of their pots

And done..

And my final task for that day was to start prepping the area for this seasons corn

Raked all the straw back off and dug it over… again removing the horrible twitch that creeps in everywhere.
I still need to dig through some blood and bone… and perhaps get around to putting seed in the ground?? That will help

This afternoon my friend Maureen is planning to pick me up so we can go over to set up the gazebos for tomorrows country market at Elliot.
Hoping the weather doesn’t do anything horrible.
I think a little rain is forecast but will be optimistic and hope for the best.
Will be nice if I can offload a bit more soap!

Picked a proper handful of strawberries yesterday!! So sweet too!

Anyway, best be off to get ready!
Have a super weekend!
Cheers
