A big big day

This morning we went off to Bunnings to get more veg seedlings 

I had fun buying all sorts of vegetables but also plants for out front. 

Once home the work began. 

I cleared all the overgrown, gone too seed plants out of the raised beds. 

I harvested what I could and the rest went as stock feed 

I decided to use the space between the trees here to grow corn,  two types of pumpkin, cantaloupe and watermelon. 

Even though we had heaps of rain the ground is hard and dry. 

The beauty and the curse of sandy soil. 

We planted it all out and while I got the sprinkler going hubby got the mulch 

Here I gave the babies some green. They didn’t know what it was but I’m hoping their curiosity will get them to taste it and they will love it 



Hubby using our tractor to bring the mulch from the huge pile we have 



It’s going to look good and the mulch will help keep the soil wet 



Meanwhile I processed all the silverbeet. Four bags in the freezer and I saved dons for spinach pie 



We have LOTS of eggs. So two spinach pies were made 

I only used half of that zucchini the other day so I julienned  the rest of it to add to the pie mix. Why wouldn’t you 



The beetroot is boiling away 

Once cooked I’ll let them cool. Skin then and add them to glass jars. I’ll then make up the pickling juice, top them up and seal them 

Pies in the oven 



Beetroot bubbling away. 

I feel like the witches in Macbeth  the stick pot is huge 



So now I wait for pies to cook and beetroot to cool. 

I might even do those much later today. My feel are killling me 

At least it’s sunny and I might even if got a slight tan!

One can only hope
