I like the sound of ‘fruit trees’ for you. Maybe even anoher apricot?
Heyas :) I was out at a banders meet and it was the groups 2 nd anniversary so I was asked to make a cake, so I did.. huge choc mousse cake. It was yum!
The meets are so big now and theres people coming from further afield , and they had a ball :)
I am not used to daylight savings ending.. had tea too early.

Oh yes please……… we are talking about coming out to see you soon too.
——————————-
righto – let me work out when – and i’ll come round and pop them in – transplanting is a bit of a pain in the leg – i normally sit on a milk crate to do it.. LOL.

Looking at preparing the area Wednesday morning. Getting the lawn out the bed, adding compost I have made and a bag of sheep crap.

no such thing as a sad garden. prolly just dry, rock hard and weedy – join the club. that describes practically every bit of land from here to victor.

You make me feel so much better:D
Got the old herb area back now……. not sure what I’ll grow there if I grow anything…..

Sure looks different out the back. Even better when the gate goes back up.
Today Pepe is coming out to visit with some lettuce seedlings for me. I’m really excited about this. I’ll have some garden to fuss over. Elf is going to finish turning the soil for me this morning.
Jim-Bob is coming over to collect his dad as well., I think today……. Has a surprise inspection on Tuesday and needs the whipper sniper for his backyard.

sounds like a plan:D Thanks
Almost ready for the seedlings from pepe:D
Elf has done a FAB TAB job this morning, adding anything I want to the soil and turning it over for me.
He’s so going to be buggered and sore for it though.

elf did do a good job – so lucky has now got a 2m square bed with about 50 lettuces in it. let’s hope that in two weeks they have perked up and start looking good, these were bare rooted transplants so success is not guaranteed. we also planted broad beans and peas. the soil is hygroscopic – repels water – so we soaked and hoped for the best.
i got hot cross buns and advanced tarragon roots. always great to see lucky and elf and i’m pleased to see them gardening again.
… and i’m looking forward to brekky and maybe even supper with hot cross buns.

Pepe did such a wonderful job planting out the seedlings and also he sowed broad beans and peas for me. Plus a few extra little plants for me to transplant out in a couple of days.
Your hat is here to Pepe. I thought it was you coming back to pick it up and it turned out to be our old neighbours from Whyalla. So Peter, his daughter and 2 grandkids have just left here.
Elf has gone to get something for tea.
Your hat is here to Pepe.
———————————
yes – i realised i had left it there as i turned onto main north road.
ah well – its cool – bring it on your next visit.
traffic was good – only took 30 mins to get home and drivers are being very polite – thank goodness.
rosemary spuds and fresh picked salad with avocado greeted me at home – plus a sweetish semillon reisling – very nice.

Pepe you mean hydrophobic. Hygroscopic means the opposite. But anyway…little things…we knew what you meant.

Ooh how spoilt are you Lucky! Methinks Pepe deserved those hot cross buns after all that work. I’d say ‘what a sweetheart’ but I don’t want to embarrass him! ;D

ta – it didn’t feel right

I felt VERY spoilt indeed.
Tomorrow the garlic will go in and the netting over the pea & broad bean area. No-dig garden tied up and new stuff added to that area.

Good, ‘cos I don’t know, LOL!
I do know that ‘Hygrophobia’ is fear of water. I always thought the prefix ‘hydro’ referred to water. Obviously they both do.

let me say that lucky’s hot X buns are vastly superior to the bakery ones. all of lucky’s are gone whereas no one is eating the bought ones.
the bakery ones have virtually no fruit and a bit of cinnamon if yer fortunate and are doughy – chook food.
well baked L1.

Arvo All…I didn’t even bother with the buns this year, they look so ordinary.
Bummer you’re so far away Lucky. Would’ve loved a bite from one of yours :)
Elf & I have so enjoyed Drylander and his lovely wife and new puppy “Toby” visit and they head back up north tomorrow.
I have a new phone ring from Drylander… a Indian fella telling to answer my phone:D Such a cool phone ring………LOL
Toby loves the ducks…… cats…. chooks ….. but is leaving the Elf alone (allergy to dogs) so he’s been a good puppy. Can’t say the gang and fur kids return all the love….LOL
Going to make my new “God Puppy” a couple of cute quilts for his dog basket and 1 for the back seat of the car.
Anyway couple of pics of Drylander and the headless dog on my blog.
http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/2009/04/drylander-visits.html
Sure going to be quiet when they leave tomorrow.
