Yard Interlude

Hi!
Busy busy here.
Had a wedding to shoot yesterday. Was a lovely day – of course a long long one on my feet.
I officially slothed today

Above is where I left off with the chook yard.
Last week Jeff and I got to and pulled the rest down

This little shelter was never convenient. Especially if the chooks decided to lay eggs in there. No easy way to reach the back corner

And gone

The duck yard is sorely neglected. The blackberry was a pest to sort out

That stuff has grabby thorns EVERYWHERE!
Pliers and snippers helped as the thorns went straight through my gloves.

Time to bring out the parang

The structure I put up intending to grow things up on it… Sigh.
At least the blackberry got a bit of use out of it

Time for the whippersnipper

We didn’t actually set out to clear the duck yard but… with everything out of the way and cleared it will make rebuilding anything a lot less crowded and irritating

Meanwhile… Flossie found a zucchini leaf to snooze under…

Better

More manageable.

I am still keen to save the wisteria!

Oh… I found an excellent hollow log in the duck yard from one of the failed gardens and repurposed it for the new white geranium that I bought at the last market

Found a spot…

And filled with potting mix! So far its looking quite happy there!

The next Overland set of photos isn’t far away… then I have my eye on about a thousand images from yesterday to sort and post process.
That’ll keep me out of mischief!!
Cheers!
