The weather has been great for the Easter break. It was a sunny 27c here yesterday. A good break from the rain although we're looking down the barrel of heavy showers all next week. :( The continuous rain has played havoc with the veges, a lot have just split and had to be pulled out.
A couple of fruit trees to plant (orange, lemon and blueberry), some dirt to move, and some mint and lavender to pop into pots. I bought a small hot-house a few weeks ago; just a little cheap thing; and planted some beetroot and snow pea seeds to see how they would go. I also had some garlic cloves left over (I planted approx. 50 in one of the raised beds a few days ago) so I popped them in too. The beetroot and garlic were up in a matter of 2 days - amazing. They were thriving. Then we got a huge wind on Saturday night and sent the whole thing flying - seedlings and hot-house. I was able to save the garlic but the rest were either crushed or missing. Oh well - we live and learn. It now has 2 besser blocks sitting on one of the shelves to hold it down.
My eldest sons birthday is tomorrow - Anzac Day. He and his partner are coming up and we'll go out to lunch to celebrate. Every year I find it hard to believe how old my kids are. Not because I have a problem with getting older; it just doesn't bother me; but it doesn't seem that long ago they were babies. I guess every parent thinks that. :) My other son has moved for work; about 4 hours away; but he's home for the weekend. Its been lovely so far with visitors and a lot of coming and going. We're even having an Easter egg hunt tomorrow - and no we don't have any small children coming lol. The guys suggested we could trade found eggs for bourbon - now there's a twist. Hmmmm - I can see a lot of frantic activity about the place tomorrow. Lol.
