Hi!! A bit of blue sky peeking through late afternoon!
The rest of the day was mostly dark and gloomy – but very little wind or rain so it wasn’t a bad day to be out hauling wood about.
Jeff cut up a stack more wood and I moved and stacked most of what he had worked on before.
We will have a bit of work splitting ahead of us too:
Jeff made a temporary boardwalk out of the pallets!! Seriously.. the walkways are treacherous underfoot at the moment!
I also thought it was high time to give the poor chooks a clean bedroom. So out with the old pooey hay and in with the fluffy fresh stuff
Someone got comfortable pretty quick in the nesting box.
Mind you… it didn’t take the rest of them long to work on kicking a fair bit of it back out the door!! Pests.
The compost bay got a nice big top up of straw and chook poo. I then added in the latest load of coffee and it really smelled quite fantastic!
I also think its about time to set up compost bay #2 and leave this one to break down and do its thing.
Most of the white garlic has sprouted!!
It will be good when it is all along far enough to be mulched and then I can pretty much forget it for a few months.
Of course I couldn’t help stop and admire the purple garlic patch. It looks so perfect 😀
The rhubarb that Jeff mowed (eek, I know!!) looks like it will all be fine. In a couple of months I am sure they will all spring back with a vengeance!
My one broccoli that is developing is much too slow for my liking! I know its doing its best…. but… Maybe I should dowse it with some worm wee.
Surprisingly – still getting capsicum off the outdoor plants in mid winter! How does that work?? Its not for me to question. Its for me to say “Thank-you garden, this will go nicely in the spaghetti Bolognaise sauce tonight.”
We had a bit of a look at the timber in the spot for the raised beds. I need to make them a little wider, but that shouldn’t take too much effort. (Famous last words)
Oh – the latest batch of soap – the espresso actually did go ok. It just took a bit longer to firm up. And wow – it looks like chocolate fudge.
I have to get out to Sharons and purchase some more milk. I am totally hooked and need to do more!
Hope your weekends are really fantastic!
Cheers
