I've been very busy; too, too busy; but it's just one of those seasons. I've finished my final assignment and sent it on its merry way; just an exam to do and then that's it! WOO HOO.
This week we've put in tomatoes, zucchini, lettuce, pickling onions and leeks, carrots, cucumbers, beans, beetroot, more strawberries, sweet potato and in the new herb garden chamomile, lemon balm, sage, basil, as well as those I transplanted from one of the raised beds. The transplanted mandarin tree was looking rough for a few weeks but is now getting new growth so we might have succeeded with that. The fig is getting its spring leaves and the cuttings I took haven't carked it so my sister just might get her fig tree yet. :)
There's new growth on the fruit trees and they've all been fed and mulched ready for the warmer days.
The chickens are laying an egg a day each, the little troopers, except dear Cackles who I'm pretty sure is past it. She just wanders about by herself when they're let out to free-range and isn't as adventurous as she use to be. She's a sweet little chook, an individual who just does her own thing. I quite like that in a chicken.
This weekend we're going to declutter the container - look out Gumtree! I'm determined to get rid of everything that isn't nailed down. lol. I hate clutter and feel weighed down when there's a lot of stuff hanging about that's not "earning it's keep" so to speak. I like the idea of moving it on so someone else can get use out of it.
And over the weekend we'll take the time to relax and put the feet up. We sometimes forget just how important that is and have to keep reminding ourselves that it's not only a good thing but also an essential thing to do.
