Hello hello!!!
(That second one was from yesterday when I went “Meh, Can’t blog… must sleep” 😀 )
Yesterday we spent most of the day burning the scrappy stuff. The wind was blowing across the paddocks and it rained on and off. Jeff set a rather large pile of scraps on fire while I tended to my usual area (until I had to wait until Jeff’s fire calmed down… cough cough)
We got through a lot of stuff!
We also chook proofed the fences a lot better. Then watched one annoying chook go “B-DAARRRK!!!” at the top of her voice as she sailed over the barrier then ran off to the bushes going ‘bok bok bok bok’ knowing full well she was in the wrong.
Then it was ‘poke bushes with a stick’ time to get her back again, which resulted in some very indignant noises like ‘bukbukbuk budaarkit’
We were laughing so much.
Oh… overall… we have failed.
Tomorrow Phase Three in Chook-Proofing is going forward. (Including the whole scissors & wings thing!)
Hothouse update!
Snow peas looking great!
Cos lettuce also looking good
Celery has popped up but too tiny for me to get a decent photo… It was a bit dark and I was wobbling all over the place trying to focus!
The Rocket – lovely!
The flower, Alyssum has popped up.
I found these evil colonies under the oregano seedling pots! Possibly why they were not thriving?? Afternoon snack for the chickens who regarded them with great suspicion. (Which is a mark of how spoiled our chooks are!!) (Where is the cake and bacon huh?)
Even the snow peas I planted outside have made an appearance! I will sprinkle a little snail bait here soon… I suspect they will be too tempting for the slugs etc. Maybe try a little of that saved crushed eggshell too
I did a quick stroll about the garden late this afternoon to get a few spring flower snaps just for the fun of it!
Enjoy & have a lovely day!
Cheers!
And my Tulips…
