More cherry blossoms fluffing out each day! Its such a pretty tree!
Well… another beautiful day! I had a few chores in town to do before pulling the gardening clothes back on.
But stacking the wood was the first main job
I love the new area! Its so much more space efficient and I don’t have to over-think the stacking process with the sturdy walls keeping everything in place!
Oh – I put my tables out again and made $19 today – although someone took an awful lot of pots for $3.50! I was in town at the time that happened. Not sure if they were really bad at math, misunderstood the prices or intend dropping back tomorrow with the balance! (the latter has happened before)
Oh well… I don’t put things out the front that I will cry about if I don’t get my $$. Sometimes mistakes happen. (I figure if they were trying to steal stuff then the eggs would have disappeared not the bean seedlings haha)
I cleared up the raspberry canes – mulched them up and added them to the compost.
I was going to hoe the potatoes but the ground was a bit hard – so I put the sprinkler on them and moved on to plant my tomatoes.
I would have waited a little longer before putting these out, but I want them well established before we go so our young house sitter doesn’t have to worry about everything in the garden.
The seaweed kept most of the weeds out, but the twitch is persistent. I raked off the seaweed and spent some time digging and fossicking for the ropey menace!
It will return I am sure but at least todays effort will slow it up a bit.
10 heirloom beefsteak tomato plants in. Each plant got a few handfuls of mushroom compost and a good watering. I also covered them up under the plastic containers – which they will get at night for at least a week.
I have more tomatoes that will need planting. I just have to work out where!
Broccoli coming along beautifully – I even noticed the floret (is that what you call it?) starting!!
After dark I remembered I hadn’t gone back to cover my zucchini and marigolds, so I slipped back out to do that. Errugh – snail & slug city out there! I spent some quality time tap-dancing on them, then gave some key areas a sprinkle of snail bait.
Anyway – a lovely productive day. Its calling for rain tomorrow – so I am glad I have made decent steps in the last few days out there!
Will leave you with a couple more flower images
Enjoy your day!
Cheers
I use clippers to cut slugs in half. Fast and easy. Need to clean clippers after though.
lol – ew! Slugs sure are sticky!!!
