Our back gardens are in desperate need of some attention. We just haven’t been able to spend time here.
Today hubby decided to tackle the vegetable patch
I helped little bit he did the bulk of it
There is still this part to do, but we have run out of steam. We really feel our age, and health issues out here.
So these days we do just what we can and stop
In amongst the jungle of weeds and plants were some huge zucchini and cucumbers. We cut them up and fed them to the steer. He loves it.

We even had a heap of leek that had gone to seed, and he just ate them all up.
This is one reason we don’t mind letting it all go to pot at the end on the season
We even found some produce for us!
The rest of the day will be resting.

Hubby is very busy at the shed with wonderson still off recovering from his surgery
I will drive to my mothers and spend some time with
Her. Taking her to the cemetery and shopping
So our busy lives will continue to be busy for a little while yet.
You both have your hands full. I was forgetting that your son works with his dad. So he's working for two. Then you're attending your mom, too. The vegetable patch is not a high priority, but I'm glad the steer helps with it.
ReplyDeleteYour vege patch is far better organised than mine...and the raised beds do help ageing gardeners!
ReplyDeleteA garden at season's end can be a treasure trove.
I consider myself to be fit and healthy at 60, but I do the same as you and pace myself when I am gardening. It makes no sense to knock yourself out and pull muscles etc. Ten years ago I would have done just that. Now I take my time and if it doesn't all get done it just has to wait for another day.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about fertile gardens and good climate is that they grow eeds too! Nice finds in there. I think ours are going moldy in the wet conditions.
ReplyDeleteThat steer is more than earning his keep!
ReplyDeleteA lot of hard work but great results. I can imagine the, weeds which were hiding all those vegetables.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to raise plants and animals
