Wow, what a day. It's my daughter's 21st and it's been two months since my last operation and after today's effort in the garden I'm feeling ecstatic.
It's been years now since I've been able to do a full day's work and still feel OK at the end of the day.
The morning was made up of weeding, watering and liquid fertilising everything and I mean everything. Roses, perennials, annuals, veggies. You name it it got liquid ferilised.
I've planted a lot of flowering annuals this year to keep me happy. Annuals like petunias, poppies, snappies, pansies, violas, and primulas in the shady parts of the garden as well. All of these were liquid fertilized as well as all the veggies like the peas, silverbeet, garlic, lettuce, cabbages, strawberries, chillies (still flowering and being warm here for this time of the year I might get another small crop) and broccoli.
The afternoon was all the boring stuff like putting all the prunings through the mulcher, working over the compost heap, mowing the lawn and clearing an overgrown site for planting the Lisbon lemon I bought.
My daughter, the one turning 21, works in a coffee shop/cafe so guess what this is.
Getting rad with my ish. There's 500 little radish seeds per packet so I won't be running out any time soon.
A handy sized seed, no pun intended, I'm just poking a few into small spaces or in between rows of other veggies, they'll be long gone and out of the way by the time the other veggies grow up
My lemonade tree lemonading.
Seriously just juice and drink, delicious
Next cab off the rank. This is the Lisbon I bought and will be planting in the area I started preparing this after noon.
Two little rhubarb leaves.
When I was harvesting some leaves last week a chunk of main stem came off as well so I bunged it into a pot full of potting mix and now it's looking like I've two more Rhubarbs to plant come spring.
