I have had heaps of people say that.

We mates catching up after not seeing each other for a few years.

Pics of my wormies and their tucker. Plus what I have managed to get done in the last couple of days in the way of sowing seeds.

My hero:D

Elf just hung the cream/white kitchen curtains on the clothes line:D

I now had stopped raking and raising a dust, had a show and now inside…

Today’s post shows you where I am playing in the vegie patch at the moment.

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/

Darn dusty work and so I have to pick my times with the elf in and out. I’ll cut more of the wormwood later on today when it cools down.

Get enough duck feathers might going to the mattress making business too….LOL

Something a little different for today….. a singing Harley Davidson in the bath….

I have updated my blog with photos of the seedlings.

Also I have now added on the side bar under the moon link… what is growing in the vegie patch:D

9 ducks went bye bye this afternoon, traded them for 5 kilo of large parrot seed……$7.95

Very quiet out the back as all the other ducks are waddling round with their rosaries out praying there isn’t another raid….

Thanks pepper…. I sold “Twinner” as having the 5 ducklings sent her nuts…….. she wouldn’t stop quacking…… if the kids moved from her side…she’d pull out a mic and QUACK the street down:(

Lucky1 said:

8 weeks – by now any boys should have obvious combs and wattles. If they are still small and pale you have girls. For the pure breeds at least.

Oh I would hate to have to do that.
I couldn’t part with them.
I have been given the name and address of a poultry place not far from me where I can get a couple more layer chook’s.
But I won’t get anymore for a little while.. untill the 5 I have got stop laying 4 egg’s a day.

untill the 5 I have got stop laying 4 egg’s a day.

Wow, I am flat out getting 2 eggs a day from 9!! Made the mistake of getting Exhibition line bantam Australorps who have never been very good layers – unlike the larger Australorps, commercial line that I once had and which became foundation stock for local Special school setting up a farm :)

Ducks have re-started to lay though and some of the juvenile ducks should be thinking about it soon too…

Oopps – Sorry Lucky for hijacking your thread – please pretend this post is in poultry prattle. Now I really do have to get outside – they are rattling their feed dish! LOL

Love my garlic…very proud of it.

Parsley is in ( 4 little plants… enough for the kitchen and the bunnies:)

Also i split up the chives… well 1 clump anyway…getting too cramped with some lawn in it.

Popped some photos up on my little playing out in the garden….

it will take a while to plant out those chives.
i’ve put some very small leek seedlings in and already the grass is threatening to overrun them.

Now we can think about fruit trees and a citrus tree.

Planted out the leeks on the weekend…finally felt like updating the blog with photos and such.

Just picked some baby spinach and rocket:D for my lunch….. egg sandwich:)

Couple of photos of the rain coming down at my place:)
http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/

Bimbo tried my baby spinach tonight….. she said it was tender and yummy… goes down her throat easier than the bought stuff she buys for her special diet…..

Puffs out chest

I already knew this…lol;)

We had hail at 1 am last night… i was out snapping photos after the storm finished:)

Who said fur coats keep ya warm????

Hey I am not sure ….. but very hopeful that the little plants growing where the last load of parsley was growing for a few years…..may have germinated……..

So for the next week or so I’ll hold my breath and hope this is the case and not some smart arse weeds pulling a fast one on me……..

Oh I hope so too…love parsley and so does Flossy & Cadbury.

Lunch out the back was a hit today. Sun was streaming through the shade cloth and there was no breeze.

Now off to sort out the clothes for packing and ironing ….. then finish off the glove I started last night. Out walking early the other day my hands were cold.

Can’t function with cold hands. Happy knitting. I’ve got to go and bring in the washing. BBL.

My Friendship Garden is chokka full of sweet smelling alyssums:D
