Yesterday we worked pretty hard in the duck yard – trying to really make way on those weeds!
My main aim was to get one decent patch ready and prep it for putting in the first patch of corn
The chooks are pretty disgusted that we have shut them out of the duck yard now – where all the good worm pickings are!
I also decided to risk putting out my tiny heirloom beefsteak tomatoes into the outside bed.
I of course gave them a little hothouse each
Oh my goodness – I can’t tell you how much I hurt last night… and today probably worse! haha – I knew I was pushing it a bit yesterday, but the end was in sight and I couldn’t leave the job. Serves me right. I am not twenty something anymore!!
So… today I thought I would take it easy.
This is me taking it easy – first step… go and plant 60 seeds of corn
Oh look! I didn’t know I had a pot with celery growing in it!! Lucky. Better plant that in the garden properly
Damn – I really don’t want another massive broccoli plant in the hothouse over summer…
Now out in the garden outside where it is looking really unhappy! Oh well… it has to toughen up!
While I am at it, this self seeded tomato needs to join its tomato friends outside too
While I was in the hothouse mood, I figured I could plant out a few of the heirloom capsicums and prep a spot and plant the cucumbers too
A rogue banana-passionfruit had taken root in the hothouse and was growing madly everywhere – so I dug that up too and moved it. Tied it to the fence and it has to take its chances too – sink or swim.
I also had to tie my snow peas back towards the climbing frame, as the wind keeps pushing them forward, not giving them a chance to latch on and climb up.
ooooo – and look! Beetroot!! Self seeded in the hothouse, and little attention from me. Bonus!
By this time I must admit to walking slightly crooked, so had to give up and come inside where I treated myself to a heavenly radox bath!!
Anyway, time for me to head back outside and cover all the little seedlings and say goodnight to them!
Hope you had a lovely day!
Cheers!
