Ouch!! 25 feed bags full of seaweed dragged up the beach and through the scrub and flung into the car. Feeling it tonight! Megumi helped fill them but was in no way strong enough to lift a bag. Where as Amazon-Me seems to be able to take two at a time. (Wasn’t built delicate haha)
Anyway, it was a good job to get done as I still need so much mulch!
I didn’t get a lot put on the garden yet as Beau came in to visit so it was a nice catch up with him. To be honest it was fab to sit down to a cuppa and relax!
I did get some lettuce moved. COWS!!! They’ve stuck their big noses over the fence and gulped a couple of mouthfuls of the new seedlings.
Before they all disappeared I thought I better do an emergency transplant.
This bare patch needed something. All my other lettuce has raced to seed. It still might be too warm for them, but it won’t hurt to try.
Decided I will empty and move that raised bed – to somewhere out of cow reach.
And would you all like to pause for a minute of mourning for my corn??
Half the plot gone. How sad is that? Next season I am going to arrange a hotwire for this plot.
I need to get back into my hothouse!! Marigolds are NOT meant to get that big!! All leaf and no flower! I put them in thinking they would just do nice little flowers and attract bees, not fluff out thinking they are in competition with Tentacular!!
I also picked some gorgeous big beetroots today! Need to pickle some more!
Hope you have all had a lovely day!!
Weekend is here! Enjoy!
RE hotwire, my horse learned to ignore it and lean over it anyway. I got to the point I was scared of a fire starting (I had one once from hotwire breaking and catching grass on fire) so I just had to put up a better fence. Animals get very persistent when what is on the other side of the fence is green and looks good to eat. Once they get a taste they don’t care. I wish you luck on this one.
:O Smart and naughty horse!!
The cows are staying away from the hotwired section with the silage… mind you its all too late for my corn. I’ve only got one section that needs cow-proofing – will probably try with the hotwire first as new fences are not on our budget list – will put in the too hard basket until next season anyway lol – or grow short crops haha
I never thought about the possibility of starting a grass fire with them… its such a common site to see hotwires up everywhere!!
Lisa, great job with the seaweed! Get it girl!!

Thanks Janet! Hoping I get a chance to spread it out a bit tomorrow afternoon!
