Hello! Midweek already! I spent most of the day procrastinating my way through housework – Our niece Emma is turning up tomorrow, with boyfriend in tow for a week so I thought I should sort a few rooms out!!
It was so windy!! The chooks spent a lot of their time huddled up in protective spots while the garden got blown about. Thought I should secure some of the tomatoes that were beginning to sprawl in the duck yard garden.
I gathered up a bunch of stakes, a hammer and my roll of garden tie – which I love to death its soooo easy to use.
I found a number of tiny tomatoes while I was tying them back that I couldn’t see yesterday
End result was a lot neater, and will save them some stress by not being blown all over the place!
Looks like I might nearly have a zucchini! They are taking their sweet time this season!
Not lacking for flowers…
I might have to go back down to the zucchini patch with some romantic music and a paintbrush…
The one pumpkin that I could see has actually escaped into next doors paddock. Will have to climb the fence and retrain it back over our direction!!
The corn is looking healthy – but no fuzzy bits yet.
In other produce news the girls seemed to like their fresh new hay and presented us with 6 eggs. All laid in the middle nest which has not been used for about a year!! Funny chooks!
Anyway – a few more domestics before bed… and maybe some raspberry ice cream??
Cheers
Lisa, only another gardener would understand your “romantic music and paintbrush” line. I’ve told my friends about having “my way” with the zucchini but they don’t quite understand.
Sooo funny!! I bet you get one or two weird looks!! (And I am very glad that line didn’t go unnoticed… haha – at least I amuse myself 🙂 )
Have a lovely day!
