Winter is over! It was a gorgeous day too! And since I ate a disgraceful amount of lamingtons yesterday we squeezed in a walk around Anniversary Bay this afternoon.
I put about 7kg (14lb-ish) into my pack as lamington-punishment as well. My legs & shoulders are having a slight conversation with me about that now!
It was great to get out again and see what new water channels the recent rain has cut through the beach
Runoff from the hills making great patterns today
Spring weather is notoriously dreadful in Tasmania. But I am hoping for more good days than bad and get out on this hike a little more often (especially if I intend any more lamington binges)(Likely)
Heading up the final stretch of beach before turning up into the hills and the three challenging ‘up’ sections.
Despite the extra weight I made it up each section without stopping – but I sweated and panted a lot!
Earlier in the day I got back into the garden to actually finish a couple of jobs.
The sad little carrot/capsicum plot!
All better. Topped up with some mushroom compost and ready to go. I have decided to put my broccoli in here. I will be able to rig up a frame for netting to keep the cabbage moth away pretty easily.
The very last of the carrots! Some of these were on the plate for dinner tonight!
Overall even thought I am getting lots of plots ready, the whole garden still looks pretty scruffy!
I resisted starting on cleaning up the strawberry patch in favour of getting back in and finishing this plot. Jeff came along and helped out too (Which was great as I wouldn’t have done it in time to get that walk in)
I have this lovely big plot earmarked for the corn.
Even the chooks are doing their bit and egg production seems to be slowly getting better again!
Hope your day was lovely!
Cheers
Welcome Spring! Thanks again for the beautiful photos!
Yes! Spring… and it was a fairly cold and terrible day! haha!! But I am still happy its here! Thanks heaps – glad you enjoy the images! It was a stunning day.
Hi Lisa , I’d love to see your frame and netting when it’s done – I have problems with the white moth too! thanks. Helen
No worries Helen – I’ll also find and post a link of the netting I use. Hopefully I will be sorting that out soon (No excuses now I have the bed ready hey?)
