Hello! How is everyone? Friday is done and the weekend is here! (and its raining LOL)
I went over to Ruby’s this afternoon with Jeff and weeded/dug her potato patch. I failed to take my camera!!!
Then I was lucky enough tonight to be taken out by Fiona to a presentation by an amazing group of women. It was part fashion show, part story telling. All were refugees from a variety of countries around the world, now settled in Hobart. Sometimes you don’t know how lucky you are until you meet someone face to face that has lived and survived through the unthinkable. We got to meet and chat after the show with all the ladies and organisers and they were beautiful people – so happy we came to see & listen to them. (And you know I am not a clothes person, but wow!! Gorgeous outfits!!)
So – since that means I have no photos or a plan for tonights blog, I thought I would browse through my photos from September three years ago to see what we were doing then!
Strawberries and celery!!!
Looking at this well established little tomato plant in my hothouse I am now super keen to dash out to the nursery first thing tomorrow to get my tomato plants for the hothouse!
Recall the Pelargonium’s that I gave a severe trimming to two days back? Well… this is them three years ago as cuttings!
Three years ago we made and filled our first raised garden beds!
Our crazy apple tree prunings bean arch – that I just took down! I suppose three years use out of it wasn’t bad!
Pip as resident snoopervisor – things not changed there
Selfies with Fiona and Ruby on Ruby’s birthday!
Fancy outings with family – scones & tea!
We woodchipped the front garden path (my it looks so scruffy now in comparison!! eep)
I was knitting a lot of bears – some for Jeff at the hospital & some for the shoeboxes which I was also doing at the time.
That was also when I learned to crochet
The beginnings of the Nanna-Knee-Rug that Pip & I now snuggle under!
This is what the garden looked like:
And this is what the hothouse was doing towards the end of September:
Its interesting to me to compare seasons to see how advanced (or not) they are. Last season was pretty bad, so I have high hopes this year!
And now that I have looked at how great the garden was looking in September three years back I am feeling a little behind the 8-ball!!
I hope everyone has a super weekend planned!
Cheers!
