Well, the list got smashed last weekend - and some! Only things not done are sprinkler system and plant pumpkins seeds. But I also went out and bought about 150 plants and MOTH helped me plant out the new garden. And we cleaned up the place to look brand new in preparation of our special visitors. Chooker moles also got some extra attention they really didn't want.
This weekend there's a whole lot of preserving going on. So far we have Wild Guava Chutney bottled, Chilli Jam on the stove for the next 12 hours and there's green PawPaw Chutney "resting" for booking tomorrow.
I also popped some pork ribs that had been marinated in BBQ Bourbon sauce into the wood fired oven this afternoon for several hours… LOOKING GOOD! Then MOTH is going to crank it up a few degrees for pizza night.
I popped out into the yard to see what I could see and there is a surprising amount of colour around for this time of year.
I need to get on top of these aphids on the lemon tree tomorrow...
With the new garden bed almost done, it got a quick cat scan of approval from Max the Manx...
Included in the garden are our new coffee trees (below), a blueberry patch, plenty of herbs and other edible plants.
Here's a shot of the new finished shed… how did we ever live without this!
Oh, and we had the film crew from Totally Wild here yesterday to do a story on Rescued Donkeys. Guinness (aka Mr G for the kiddies) thought he was a filmstar!
Gotta say, it was fun - even the last part that I'm not too sure Ranger Stacey was prepared for…
Should be on TV in about 8 weeks time.
