Well, thats Saturday gone! I must say I was a bit half-hearted about it.
I finally got myself together and went down to Ruby’s to put in a couple of hours weeding… only to find she had almost half done the patch that I was intending to clean up for her!!
Sometimes I can’t believe she is 100! Apparently she had a really good day yesterday and got out on her milk crate and went weeding-mad!
This was the patch the other day – (taken from the other side)
Not wanting to let the side down, I got stuck into the rest.
I had to hose myself off before I was fit to go into the house to have a cuppa! Hot, sweaty and grubby!
Anyway, back home I muddled about the yard, picked some stuff and did the watering
A few more cherry-plums
I ate a little purple carrot! 🙂
Remember the weedy then bare duck yard from last year?
Well… I think the progress is beautiful!
Sprinklers on – drink time
Back to the main vegie patch –
Busy little area – needs a weeding of course, but there are runner beans both sides, zucchini in the middle and some rogue tomatoes that I have just left to do whatever they pleaseCould this be the year that the runner beans go up and over the arch?? I live in hope.
Something is nibbling off the carrot tops!Tomato patch slowly slowly getting thereOutside tomatoes making an appearanceThe rhubarb that I thought I killedSome of my marigolds have actually perked up and done well!So much parsley gone to seed. Its going to take over the garden I bet!
Onto the hothouse! Its so lush and busy in there! I need to spend some time tying up all the crazy plants that are growing out of control!
One of the tomato plants that is just sprawling everywhere!Chillies, rock melon & basilFlowers on my heirloom capsicum! Excited much??Perhaps three cucumbers was too many….
chilliBasil and a couple of new self seeded beetroots!
And then a bit of colour that makes me happy –
Well… that’s a bit of a circuit around the garden! Time for bed.
Hope your weekends are awesome!
A happy traveller through life!
Right now living in NW Tasmania with a gorgeous Nurse-Husband, a fool of a Siamese Cat and several chickens.
We love our fairly simple lifestyle of growing a lot of what we eat and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our little patch.

Your lucious vegetables make me yearn for spring!
Any recipes you might share as your produce comes in?
Sure will – Although at the moment we are mostly just eating simple – salad, steamed new potatoes and some kind of meat. No fuss no bother!! 🙂 I could write up Ruby’s pickled beetroot recipe of course! I am eagerly awaiting to get a glut on tomatoes so I can make up a new batch of relish. We are running dangerously low!
Your Gardens are beautiful and the produce looks lucious! Thanks again for all of your lovely pictures! We’re expecting several inches of snow here in central MA. The Cape could get a couple of feet…Ugh Winter!
Thank-you Lynn! Its such an enjoyable time of year – I am loving the colour and the fresh food!
Snow is pretty! I am a bit sad we don’t get a dusting of snow here in winter. We have to travel a bit further south to play in the snow! Stay warm!
