Spruced Up Chooks

Finally – the poor chooks! We picked up a bag of the chopped straw and found time today to clear out their coop.
I am sure they will have a lovely time kicking that all out again!
Little darlings. They continue to dig holes in our yard!

I didn’t light the fire back up today. I think we’ve sorted the majority of the rubbish for now. The cement blocks are all crumbling away. I think we need a proper and more permanent fire pit.
I did move more wood and sticks over to the pallets.

Jeff finished off pulling up the corn stalks

I think we need to mow again soon!!
Hoping that next week will be start of the tree removal. Also hoping that we can make a lot of woodchips too – just to dump on all the pathways and slow that grass/weeds. (And pop into the compost)

I filled the compost up with chook-poo straw and made it smell better by mixing the coffee grounds through it.

Looking forward to next season as I think the asparagus will have settled in. Fingers crossed for lots to pick!

My butternut pumpkins are getting lost in the tall weeds. I think I will just have to go in and take them all out. Some small ones have started but really – they won’t have time to develop at this time of year.

The hothouse needs pulling apart completely again – and Tentacular needs a severe trim!! Its hard to get in the door and he keeps grabbing hold of me! haha

And I think I should give up on melons. This is my one rock melon.
I will cut it open tomorrow and hope its still sweet and edible. Not very awe-inspiring though!! Never mind.

These tomatoes were all from the duck yard garden.
Picked up a few fallen apples too.

The last patch of corn didn’t pollinate very well – I wonder why?

Anyway, its good to get tasks done. I am enjoying crossing things off lists!
I still have too many projects on the go at once, but at least I never have to say ‘I’m Bored’ …. ever! 🙂

Enjoy your day!
Cheers!
