Getting there

As you know i've been sick and yesterday I got stuck in and did some repotting of soil all the while Al is yelling at me " don't over do it"... "yes" I screamed back. It did take a bit of wind out of my sails but I was please I did do something. I figure if I can do a little bit each day then I should be good to go some the summer months.

I've got my bottles ready for bottling so depending on how high up you are on my christmas list will depend on whether I'm feeling like you deserve to recieve one of these highly prized gifts...listen to me ay...I've yet to do anything but dream about my preserves, jams and chutney...lol.

Not good

The last couple of weeks have been rather unproductive. I've been sick so my garden is still looking tragic and sad. But my peas/beans have been doing very well and I got some great tips from my Avon lady - grow them quite close together and they will start to intertwine and with a few well placed supports I should have a bumper crop.

My tomato seedlings are starting to sprout so here's hoping

Boo hoo

My tomatoes I brought in a punnet from Pak n Save have not survived well, it could be the weather or it could be those darn ducks eating them. But my beans as you can see if the previous post are thriving even in the bad weather.

I was hoping to grow veges at my fathers in laws house by there seems to be a snail infestation and I really can't be arsed going over there to sort it out. Which means I have to get more buckets and really do some major landscaping to get some raised beds started. But with the weather being so shyte and my house hubby is not trained in the art of weeded so it's going to be a hard ask, more so now with softball starting. But such is life and I'll sure we will work it out and I'm hoping to get the kids involved more with the process and not just the eating.

Peas in a pod

Today was the first day I've ventured outside. My peas(Dwarf Massey) seedlings have sprouted very well, if I must say so myself..lol. Once I cut out around the edge I put a hole in the bottom so to help the plant roots can start to establish themselves in the soil. I took these a few days ago and did some more today and I've notice my tomato seedlings are starting to break soil.

I keep asking my brother in law if has turned the soil over at father in laws house has been done yet...fat chance. Looks like that's another to do job for the next couple of weeks.

I'm back

Had a great week away scrapbooking. Met some new and interesting people and looking forward to keeping in touch with them.

But back to business. I came home to find some of my seedlings were worse for wear, that's what happens with you forget to tell hubby to check under the lid..lol. Never mind 'cause I'm back

I didn't get a chance as yet to get out there and do more planting, cause - cough, cough, I've been sick, this weather has been playing havoc with my allergies.
