After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Bushie, I was very disappointed with the bulbs I bought from that B shop - I got less than 50% to actually come up, and the plants themselves were not robust.
I bought a bunch of clearance bulbs from Tesselar (online) and had a 99% success rate - lovely robust plants - and they were all planted very very late in the season! I won't buy bulbs anywhere else now - and they have a good range. When the clearances are on the prices are VERY good too! I have a couple more daffodils ready to flower too - the mid season ones I think? The late season ones are out of the ground but only sprouts IYKWIM
Nothing happening in the veggie garden just yet - OH is talking about digging the manure through tomorrow, if he isn't coughing too much! (We are both barking our lungs out atm) We will then need the dog proofing to happen. At the moment he has just laid dog netting over the top of the bed flat so they can't actually dig, but they have been walking and snuffling around in there (paw prints give them away every time 
)
Still a little cool here too, I think one more cold snap to come before the weather warms properly.
And no baby yet....
*drumming fingers*
No baby yet Bushie ...

I want to get some pics of the first of the freesias that have opened - HUGE white heavily scented flowers - just gorgeous! But we have had soooo much rain I couldn't get out there, and today when it did fine up I had appointments to keep.
Fingers crossed I can do it tomorrow and boast a little 
Since we have owned boxers, we have always fenced the veggie patch to protect it - when we just had mutley little terriers they seemed to be able to learn NOT to dig in there!! Hmmmmm...
OH and I have a day in the garden planned for tomorrow - putting up a fence, adding all the manure etc to the soil, and some planting plans done I think.
Love to see your freesias B3, I agree, they do have a gorgeous perfume
Sorry I have forgotten when bubs' due date is, surely it must be soon lol
My hounds like to like lie in sun and use my gardens as sun bed lol All fully fenced now, so NO more sun baking lol
Starting pick my cabbage and Chinese cabbage, wow, they taste good, so much nicer than store bought rubbish. Even the veggies bought from most Farmer's markets arent picked fresh that day. I was reading an article re the produce sold at them, what you "think" is fresh, often isnt. I bought a pumpkin at Farmer's market a few months ago, cut it open and it was rotten inside, went back the next month and told the seller, apparently they had been picked months ago ... Think I will stick to growing my own lol
The days are slowly getting a tad warmer down here, so more time is being spent outside getting things done ......
Can't beat produce, fresh from the garden 🙂
I wish my boofa boy would just sunbake! He has a taste for all sorts of garden produce, he will dig up and eat sweet potato, harvest cucumbers, strawberries and peas! And in the process trample everything else into oblivion
The old girl is much more sedate, thankfully..
We got the fence up around the garden - it was a bit of an excersize in logistics as I need to access both sides of the bed, and we couldn't crib any more space from the yard area (I'd have nowhere to hang the bed sheets to dry! ) But between us we nutted out a solution! Garden ahs been manured and raked over ready to go!
And here's the pics!
By the way Bushie, I am just a littel bit jealous that you have some veggies to harvest! And I agree - home grown always tasted do much nicer! I did know about how sometimes "farmers" markets can be a bit dodgy - we actually knew a couple who would drive to Flemington markets in Sydney and buy a couple of bags of spuds, then go to the local "farmers" markets, and tip them into big baskets, pretending they had grown them themselves and inflate the price hugely! She whinged to me one day that people didn't seem to want to buy "their" potatoes any more!!!! Maybe a few people just figured out what they were up to??
Amber, I think most people are like that, lots of same old same old with odd bits of interest thrown in!
I am another who hates cooking - never really have taken to it but will have a red hot go every now and then - like last night when I made some mushroom soup for tea from scratch! It tasted good too
And bub was due on the 26th... he will be evicted on Friday if he doesn't vacate the premises sooner!!
