Straw

Hi there!!
Slow Sunday and not much to report!
As you can see – it rained.
I got up early and put the fire on for Jeff for when he got in (20 wife points) Then went back for a little snooze before getting up properly and popping off to the local market.
Barry, my straw man (Straw-Barry??)(Its late and I think I am funny) saved me his last 12 bales.
I picked them up as it started drizzling and got them home undercover before the rain started coming down in earnest.

I’ll take a couple over to Ruby and Margie. I was intending to get a lot more but since I procrastinated I’ll just be happy with this lot!
Generally early in the season I have such trouble finding affordable mulch and the beach doesn’t always co-operate when I need it to and remains clear of my seaweed! Its nice to know I now have a stash ready for spring!

I dragged some of the half pallets up for them to sit on and draped them in the tarp to keep most of the wet off them.
I’ll be using at least a couple to give a final covering to the Huggle-Monsters.

Oh – Jeff found me a rather cool series on Netflix called ‘Big Dreams – Small Spaces’ A UK series – a before and after kind of show where people dramatically change their small gardens. I really like it – I’ve gleaned a good amount of new information and a few ideas I can incorporate here!

Have a lovely day!!
Cheers!

I gave up trying to avoid messing up my jeans… they got thrown into the wash 🙂

  1. Hi Lisa- I watched Big Dreams… on Netflix and loved it. Monte Don (sp?) is really so knowledgable and affable and gives such sound advice without over- interfering or influencing the gardener’s vision. It’s such a refreshing change from most of the garbage on tv these days in my opinion! Enjoy!

    1. Hi Robyn!! Glad you also enjoyed this series!! I very much agree about Monty – he is so helpful and encouraging without running roughshod over peoples ideas. I watched a couple more episodes tonight! Glad there seems to be a few out there to watch so I won’t run out too quickly! 🙂
