Hi there! The bees were hard at work yesterday – it was a really nice day so we took advantage and ticked a few more things off the list.
Its gloomy today so am having an indoor day – finishing off the Cradle Mt photos so I can share soon.
In the meantime… garden!
I haven’t even looked back to last year to see the dates of planting… I am winging it a bit. I don’t think its going to hurt progress to be leaving it a bit later than usual.
The snow pea patch wasn’t too bad really…a bit of weeding of course.
Then I put up some trellises that I got from Ruby’s for them to climb on. The sticks looked pretty cool last season, but they didn’t have the sturdiness for the weight of the peas and the wind combined!
The pink hay bale twine is a nice touch don’t you think??? Haha… Jeff tried really hard not to mention it.
I like it that I haven’t bought snow pea seeds since the first time I grew them many seasons ago! So easy to replenish.
Jeff was down the back clearing, chopping and doing chainsaw stuff so I brought Flea, Dora and Flossie into the veggie patch with me so there weren’t any tragedies… they have no sense of personal space and want to be under your feet and to be where the action is!
Waiting for me to dig up worms
Flossie was the first one evicted in disgrace not long after the above photo was taken! I looked over to see her digging up the garlic!! Eeeeeeep!
Jeff had finished with the power tools so I piffed her back over the fence.
I finished digging up and weeding (again) the carrot/beetroot plot before returning Flea and Dora to the other side so I could plant the snow peas without them digging them straight back up again.
Moving right along… time to string up the raspberries!
The spring winds are kicking up again so getting a bit of support for them has been on my mind.
They are slowly getting leaves.
Meanwhile, Jeff had migrated to the BBQ area to split more kindling… it was all pretty green and the smell of the macrocarpa pine is wonderful!
He had also filled the big woodbox crate thingy so that will be useful.
Love the flyaway hair!
And lastly, planted a bunch more seeds. Luffa/loofa, zucchini, apple cucumbers, celery and eggplant. I think that was about it…
More lettuce are popping up and the cucumber are sitting up happily now!
Hope you’ve got a splendid weekend planned!
Cheers!
