Hello!
What a beautiful day! The perfect winters day – I even got hot and sweaty!!
Yesterday we did a bit of mulching. Sadly the chipper didn’t really take the prunings very well so we had to give up – destined for the fire pit.
I did get the rest of the tree branches that had been set aside through.
I popped them on the path near the garlic and around some of the raised beds.
Want to see an overall view of my main patch??
Its not pretty….
Jeff took out the blackcurrant tree/bush which was rarely made use of and was really mostly in the way.
Its hard to know what to tackle first hey? But if I get a good run of mostly nice days, I will be able to slowly wind it all back under control.
So – I really felt today I needed to get stuck into this ‘building site’. I had to dig up all the grass – which ran along the top there and along the top side of the new raised beds…
That took forever!
I couldn’t quit though until I had evened out the mounds of dirt – it was going to make me feel better inside 😀
And from the other side:
I dug up a lot of glass and crockery today! I cut my finger – but didn’t notice until tonight. In the end I got gloves on because every sod was hiding a shard of something sharp.
Todays odd finds?
I think a little toy car. Very old and a bit squashed. And VERY heavy.
And what is it with me digging UP holes??
This one is dead-dodgy…
Oh look – a hidden solar light.
Upon pulling it up?
Its like a drain… there is a pipe hole down there, water and a decent cavity. Debating on calling the plumber to have a squizz at it for us.
Its not smelly so not assuming anything septic – its not fully fragrant either! And its right off the back veranda!
Anyway – Thats me, totally overdoing things for the day!
A lot of my body parts are in serious conversations with my brain.
Nah – I am just being dramatic. I am sore but I am still functioning and really hoping I get a few more days of sunshine to keep up the garden work!
Hope your weekend was super!
Cheers!
