It was a slightly warmer day today and I didn’t get rained on at all!! Got totally confident and pulled on the gardening pants to get out and tackle the woebegone strawberry patch
A bit of weeding, but mostly pulling off dead leaves and digging up runners that were trying to grow in the lawn or between the rocks.
I relocated what I could fit in… the rest will go into pots and maybe get sold.
Then to dig in a bit of mushroom compost around the plants and job just about done.
I’ll have to get some netting over it ASAP as I am positive our adventurous chook will find it in short order and dig everything up quite happily. (she needs a wing clipped!) I will also need to get over to one of the local pine forests and collect a few bags of needles for mulching. (Strawberries enjoy a soil that is slightly more acidic if you are wondering why pine needles)
Anyway – getting late. Time to jump the fence and liberate a few more daffodils
Still plenty in the paddock
Finally home and inside and showered. I was quite disappointed to learn it was Sunday! I had been working all day on the assumption it was Saturday. Ruined all my plans of hitting the markets tomorrow. Hmmmm
Well… apparently that’s my weekend done and dusted!! How was yours??
Cheers!
Don’t you just love daffodils that naturalize? I have some Narcissus that have naturalized in my garden and I love seeing them come up every year with more and more abandon. They spread slowly and I help them by moving the bulbs around. One of the jobs of Spring and gardening.
Your garden must be a treat in the spring! My own Daffies are slowly getting better each year. Just lucky to have a big paddock of them to raid for the house! 🙂
Nothing spells Spring like a field of daffodils! So beautiful!
They really make the gloomy weather quite bearable! Its lovely walking into the dining room and seeing that massive bunch of cheerfulness!
