It’s the time of year when it’s a bit frustratingly slow. Spring is here, but most of the first lot of seeds haven’t shown their heads and I am just impatient for ‘Things To Be Happening’
The herb garden seems to be looking after itself nicely – things are popping up. I am actually pleased to see the mint starting to run away as before this I have been the only one that can’t get mint to go crazy! And yes- I will probably regret it!
At least my cos lettuce seeds are really rocking along.
Some of my flower seeds have finally popped up – although the pumpkin, cucumber and zucchini are conspicuously absent!
Compared to last year, the raspberry canes are distressingly slow at producing leaves – there are a few popping out now, but way behind compared to last season.
Which is a worry because I keep inviting people here in December trying to lure them along with promised of endless raspberries! 😀
A quick tour of the fruit trees showed lots of budding.
It was a rain-off-and-on kind of day, but I chucked in some washing anyway – it immediately started to rain after I hung it out, but I told the weather I wasn’t playing that game today, walked away and left it. It quit raining and didn’t start up again!! 😀
I had a couple of cracked eggs I wanted to use in a cake for the chickens so I finally got around to that.
It proved popular!
Pip enjoyed being outside today – is now buried in my Nanna-Knee-Rug! (Taking up a whole couch to himself)
Anyday now – my tulips will be out!
Can’t wait for more to be happening!!
Patience patience!!
Hope your gardens are looking super!
Cheers
As your garden is starting up, mine is being harvested and put away for the winter. Today, I’m canning more tomatoes, and still have corn, beans, lima beans, cabbage to be made into sauerkraut, pepper and last but not least, raspberries to pick – lots of raspberries to pick.
I’m looking forward to watching your garden thru our winter months. I hope you have an awesome gardening season.
It’s lovely to be starting again, but I really love autumn… it sounds like you are so busy!! The garden at your time of year is usually overflowing!
Raspberries! I can’t wait… but don’t they take ages to pick?? Last season it could take me up to 2 hours even for my little patch!
I hope my garden does some nice things so those in winter can watch whats going on – like I have been doing in reverse the last few months!
