Look at that! Totally an outside day.
And it was Saturday. I didn’t know that until halfway through the day!! Somehow lost track.
The garden along the back veranda was looking pretty bad. The tomato plant at the corner really had seen better days. The tomatoes were spoiling before ripening, so – time to go!
I did find a bonus plant! I have no idea how this celery ended up in this spot… but its doing well enough to be able to almost pick and use some of its stems! How great is that??
Everything is just looking winter-shabby
The grass needs attending too, but its too wet for that at the moment
I think the back veranda itself may need a bit of a rub and a scrub too…
Such a sneaky plant to get along this far right at the back door under my nose and I didn’t even notice!
The herb garden extension was also a bit of a disaster area.
Please note – the patch that I made with the newspaper lining, compost and hay layers is STILL weed free!!
I was happy with my progress… but it got a bit late in the day and it was cooling off fast. Time to bail out and bring up more firewood.
I am noting little bulbs starting to pop up here and there. Its a long way to spring, but its still lovely to see (Above are tulips)
All the early garlic is up and looking really good!
I am very displeased with one of my chickens!!! I had three of these little lettuce left and she came in and gutsed them all!!! There is a wing-clipping coming up!
Pretty purple carrot seeds
Now… if celery randomly appears in the main vegetable patch I will have a pretty good idea why!!
Sweet winter rose is now blooming!
Hope your weekends are awesome!!
Cheers
Lisa,
In our side of the ocean, barrels filled with concrete also means something else is encapsulated in that barrel. And that something usually isn’t very nice. Hope you know the history and the why and how come of those barrels.
!!!! You know I was hoping something along the lines of buried treasure when I found the first one!! haha – the eternal optimist! Maybe thats why the herb garden grows so well?
I have been told vaguely that back in the ‘olden days’ that it was something to do with the plumbing but I couldn’t see how. Maybe also just landfill for that elevated area. It would take nothing short of an excavator to remove them… so there they must stay!
