Thank goodness for a sun shining on my place and temps just that bit higher…..Things are moving in my garden at last and its wonderful to feel the sun on my back when I’m outside.

We have had some amazing rain here and the back lawn/yard gave up trying to soak it all away. I was even standing in water, when hanging out the washing. Lost the newly germinated carrots as the water was everywhere.

This morning I mucked out their shed and took 4.5 wheel barrows of yuck out and popped a pile of new straw back in. Feel very happy with the gang/girls having dryer areas to stand and run around on. Plus now fresh bedding.

Egg collection has gone up too each day and its a basket collection now as sometimes its 4 duck and 2 to 4 chook eggs to carry.

Well done Lucky!

Dry chookies are happier, cleaner eggs too.

Me 3…… canceled Friday sewing day…… was up last night and not happy about leaving him home on his own.

Jimbob just left and sitting in our shed is a brand new lawn mower.

He half mowed the lawn, so he got to use it first…lol

Then I took over and finished the job.

Poor elf doesn’t have the lungs to even push a mower today…… so he’ll have to wait.

Jimbob said the mower murders can use it too, seeing as he was using theirs to get his lawns mowed for about 8 months……….

yes i have the other asparagus. don’t feel too sorry for poor L1 tho’ – there’s plenty fresh shoots coming thru’ in her garden. i’m going to eat the asparagus tonight – when i find a recipe.

lucky and elf are behind schedule in their garden thanks to cold rain. same as me and all other sozzies. none the less the broccoli head they picked is twice the normal size. …. and we are still in time for spring plantings.

the dunbar cake (?) was great with elf’s coffee. both lucky and i are producing savoury cakes – i halve the sugar in my nutties and she produces a smooth but unsweet cake.

great to visit again L1 and ‘the stig – er – elf”.

Asparagus is good stirfried with oyster sauce, chillie, lots of white pepper, a dash of fish sauce and some sugar… not too much.

Now this area has dried up some I have taken the netting away. where the carrots drowned, I have 2 endive seedlings and 1/2 doz mixed loose lettuces planted out and some radish seedlings. Seedlings were transplanted out in worm castings:D

Buddy had his first taste of Rainbow Chard leaves for breakfast.

Then the seedlings/seeds/plants were either watered with Pepe’s pigeon poo Champagne or seasol.

Tomorrow I have another area set aside for some R & R for me.

I’m way behind on the LHC – just wanted to say how lovely your photos are, Lucky :)

Your maggies look a little different to ours – I’ve never seen a maggie with such a grey back! Over here the ladies have sort of.. interspersed black and white, so it looks grey, but the feathers themselves aren’t that lovely light grey colour of your Mrs Magpie!

We get doves sunning themselves all stretched out like that in our yard, and I’ve sometimes seen magpies lying prostrate on the ground when there are aggressive magpies nearby, as an act of submission

We feel very special and honored that Mrs. Maggie has decided to think our backyard is a safe place for her.

The other day she had another magpie picking on her….so she flew in when I ame out the back and flew down to stand next to me.

I felt like a bodyguard…..lol

Love my backyard;D

You know, it doesn’t seem that long ago that a certain duckwoman was despairing because of the extreme dry Summer she had. Suggesting tossing in the towel on a patch forever and not being worth it etc.
Funny, can’t quite remember who that was. Bit of rain sure does change a perspective. ;-)

OK at 1000 litres, you can use 10 litres a day for 100 days.

the best rainbow chard I ever saw was in the North Rd Cemetery in Nailsworth, just north of Adelaide. Growing on a grave it was!

Just about to transplant out eggplants and capsicum.

Offsider is asleep now…….

Elf is weeding his apple tree and then I’ll plant out his portulaca seedlings.

Gone…………..

Knocked off for the day, lovely and warm out the back now.

Planted out the capsicums and eggplants now. Vegie patch is filling up:)

Bugger forgot to add, the flowers will be planted out tomorrow morning ……moving the bird bath over to a new area too.

Finished the last of the vegie planting late this arvo.

This morning both of us roughly leveled the soil down the back. As it was a bit warm for planting out seedlings and I was missing my little off-sider we called it quits and I went to sewing.

I put the bird bath into the wheel barrow to get it from the small garden area by the house to where it is now. Planted out the Qld Blue pumpkins and 4 zucchini seedlings.

The flowers are salvia and marigolds.

Only 1 area to be looked at and that is where another set of tomatoes will be going in a couple of weeks. Strawberries from Pepe will be to the right of the parsley hedge at the front near the lawn.

Still got the cucumbers to go and anything else I can sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze in….lol

But on a whole I am thrilled with the 5 day effort and I can now go back to sewing while these guys grow.

Looks great Lucky, good to see our mojo working again sweety :)

How did you know I was gonna ask about the rhubarb? You psychic, lol !?!?!?!?

Looks very lush.

How long are the stems?

About a wrist to elbow on a woman….. the stems are not as red as some I have seen….sort of a cross between red and green.

I’m finding the pair of crows that visit my yard and often use my bird bath for soaking bread in are getting very brave and not flying away if I am in the yard now, but they haven’t brought their babies in yet.

Crows are so pretty with their glossy feathers in the sun:)

I am hoping they stay around this year and not bugger off until next spring.

Oh do you get Blue Wrens at your place???

yep – new arrivals from the mount crawford forest. their successful migration to this area is due to deliberate tree planting along bird corridors.

they are on the back verandah and have been within 2-3metres of us. they are tiny birds – much skinnier than the sparrow. and the ones here are a pair of juveniles with the male just beginning to colour.

luuuurve Blue Wrens. Can’t wait to see what sort of birds will visit at my new place. I noticed that the previous owners have a feeding station near the veranda so I am assuming some sort of parrot comes to visit.

none of them are trained like your maggies. not much meat to spare in this vegetarian household with ravenous dogs. we don’t feed the birds they do get water bowls in shady spots tho’ – and a diet of earwigs

yeah – the neighbours have been checking.
the small wren could not previously negotiate the wide paddocks without cover. plenty of predators (kites, kestrels and peregrine falcon). now that the surveyed dirt road we often walk has been lined in trees as part of the heysen trail the little wrens can tree hop.

They leave rotten eggs, or egg bits, plus bits of meat, in the stock trough…thanks for the heads-up BlueGreen…

There was a male, for many years, used to sit in the brunsfelsia beside us and give a very loud contribution to our lunchtime conversations…within the 2 metre range…

I understand they don’t work for koalas and quite a few other animals though.

Yes, dhs managed to get the boy off to his new resi unit, witout any dramas. We made all these agreements with him that we would come and visit him next weekend, and ‘bring food’, LOL.

We will be getting an intervention order soonish, with conditions.

Time to just chill with the man and luxuriate in the silence.

Koalas got special dietary needs…but apart from that, I don’t know why, either…bit hard for them to run from a firestorm, or even a bushfire…

The house is pristine, the yard is spotless, and the suddenly well again daughter is going to make steak sangers for tea and there’s nothing to do. Bludging allowed :)

I do have a magnolia cutting that needs potting up.. maybe later.

Mrs. Maggie is teaching Junior how to dig up bugs with his beak in our lawn.:D What an honour this is for us…she never did that last year. I wonder if she’s a second year mum.

At least in our backyard there is no one threatening them.

Well timed Lucky. They are expensive in the shops atm.

I was just about to go out the back and cut open a bale of pea straw and start mulching the beans and strawberry area. Chuck a bale of hay at the chooks for them to spread.

Take before and after photos.

Me thinks tomorrow will be a better day as its raining some…..yay.

So back into the sewing room I go.
