So… Emma and I went out to buy some established basil today so I could start getting cuttings from it sooner than what my tiny baby basil will manage.
Hmmm… see what we came home with? Leggy tomato plants! haha
The basil at the nursery was not much bigger than mine! But they were selling these tomatoes for $2 each, so figured, why not?
Since it rained a lot today, blew a gale and also hailed… I didn’t put them in the garden.
Emma and I braved the on and off again weather and did some weeding. This raised patch had lots of fiddly little weeds
My happy-hippie niece tied up her dreads and got into it!
We cleared it out nicely, left some of the self seeded tomatoes but I am sure the twitch will return soon
Then we moved on to the duck yard garden where we could be a bit more brutal!
Just pulling out the worst of it. Still no seaweed on the beach to use 🙁
We didn’t scratch the surface today but still filled the barrow a couple of times or so!
I also wanted to give my garlic some breathing space and weed in between the plants too… the sparse seaweed really did do a good job of keeping the weeds down. Grabbed the last of the hay to use where I could.
Anyway, again – little by little. I could do with a few decent days in a row to get my teeth into it again.
Brrrr – tonight is chilly! Time to snuggle up in bed. The electric blanket is on and beckoning!
Hope everyones day was great!
Cheers!
