Small Catch Up in the Garden

Hello! A nice Sunday meandered through here in Tasmania!
Yesterday I drove the boys up to Launceston where they caught an early flight out to Melbourne this morning … then a bus out to Ballarat to meet Rachel for a few days of sightseeing in Victoria.

It ended up quite a hot afternoon… and after such a lot of walking the day before, we only took a picnic at the Gorge and a brief walk around the area before finding their hostel.

I tried to mostly take it easy today after what seems quite a long time of being far busier than I would normally be! I like to be lazy at least some of the time!

I sifted my celery seeds and now have a container full of billions.

I also had a go at the cos lettuce seeds… I think I might just shrug my shoulders on that one, shove the whole thing in a bag and extract seeds as needed. Would take forever to get a clean stash of them!

My potatoes are so ready for harvesting. I am really itching to get in there and dig everything out – but I figure its an activity that our Japanese guests would probably like to have a go at, so I am trying to be patient. Plus I need to go to the supermarket and stock up on boxes to store them in first.

I am going to take advantage of a few visitor-less days to get some more pickled beetroot done. I missed them at dinner tonight! Time to stock up.

The chooks got the leaves!

Another quick round of the garden this afternoon yielded a lot more tomatoes and apple cucumber. Even a bit of lettuce to add to tonights salad! (and corn which got eaten and not photographed!)

Hope your weekend was fabulous!
I am off to bed. I am still quite tired and yet to catch up with all the excess activity!

Cheers
