Hello!
We are having some mouse issues. At least I found this one in the chook feed bin (and not in the house) bouncing about trying to get out!
Today was tip day. I love the feeling after gathering up all the bits and pieces that have accumulated over a few months and getting rid of it all!
A chance to tidy up that perpetually untidy BBQ area!
I rediscovered bags of pine needles, so quickly got onto another little task that has been on my mind – clearing the space at the base of the blueberry bushes
I used some of our free bricks to outline the area which should make keeping the weeds from taking over a little easier, as well as being able to fill with mulch and keeping the mulch from being scattered everywhere.
I gave each bush a generous covering of mushroom compost and topped it up with pine needles.
Jeff got on to some random weeding in the strawberry patch
My grand idea here though is to make another complete garden just down from the current strawberry patch. The ground slopes, so using those free besser blocks might work. That area dries out in summer and is pretty useless, so building it up into another garden seems like a decent plan. I would move all the strawberries out into the new garden, dig the old patch up completely as its quite weedy and needs a big going over anyway.
I like plans. Never mind about being in the middle of 20 unfinished ones! đŸ˜€
Still scrounging food in the garden!
Tonight I made salmon patties. They tasted really good, but I doubt I will make them again… I am all for dinners that are a lot less fiddly and time consuming. Granted, a LOT of the time was spent picking out bones. Probably why we eat more beef and chicken. Bones!
On the upside – enough mixture was made to have them again tomorrow night! Yay.
Court in the morning. Got my crochet packed in case I get picked for the jury and have to stick around all day in town!
Hope your weekends were super!
Cheers
