The sun was shining today and it wasn’t too windy so I decided I’d tackle the roses
They bite so I always have to work myself up
So I turned this
Into this
Also weeded as we went along
It definitely needs a new layer of mulch
Meanwhile hubby weeded the veggie gardens.
The first garden is going fantastic and I’ve been harvesting greens for our dinner now for over a week
The second planting. The plantings of leek have disappeared
I think birds scratching for bugs either ate them or just dig them out and they died.
I might try again if the seedlings are much bigger.
There was such a rush on veggie seedling they were selling them very small
The first batch of the broccoli is ready for harvesting
The cabbage is coming along soon will be ready
The camellias are all still alive and doing well
There is even new growth so that’s a good sign
A bowl of mixed greens
There’s is the broccoli, kale, silverbeet and some beetroot leaves
I’ll blanch them and make them into a kind of warm salad
So that was our day today
It all took longer than it used too and I even had hubby to help me
But I guess I just need to admit defeat and listen to my body and do it as I can
Hope your all safe and well
See ya xxx
It's been a fab day hasn't it Angela.....turning cold now.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding the pruning hard going this year. Did one bed during the week then half of another yesterday but was too bushed to finish today. Will have to rug up during the week and finish then. Had let the weeding go when my back wasn't cooperating so will do it bit by bit......a bit of rain will help soften things up hopefully.
Summer can't come back soon enough!
I know my bones will appreciate the return of summer
DeleteTake things slow it’s my new mantra
Stay warm
Great job in the garden. Clearly paying off with the greens.
ReplyDeleteLoads of hard work but look at those vegetables. What a variety. You're going to be very healthy over the winter.
ReplyDeleteAll the veggies sounds and looks yummy
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone we are lucky to be able to grow food all year
ReplyDeleteIt’s always extra yummy when it’s home grown
"The Last of the Autumn Sunshine" strikes me as a very sad title for a Blogpost because I hate the coming of winter so much that I have come to dread it even during the summer. For example, it's now nearing the Summer Solstice here, and so I know the days will soon be getting shorter and shorter, like Chinese Water Torture.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the photos. "Listening to one's body" is something that one has to more and more of with age.
