I have had a lovely day in the garden, I have extended the vegetable garden so that it is now 20 metres x 10metres, not big by many standards but ample for us. Much of the ground was diabolical to dig up but I managed to get it done.
Bear is kindly giving me when I am ready for them lettuces, carrots, cauliflowers, onions and a whole host of seeds or young plants. I also have blackberry and blueberry bushes, what I don’t have to plant nor worry about are potatoes because Bear has several hundred seed potatoes fort his organic mounds, he says there will be enough potatoes to feed a small town.
Jason has been busy with the stock as well as getting the ground along the river flats ready for planting trees to help with subsidence in the river banks. He had approached the district council for help in placing large boulders in the worse affected areas but with no luck. However Bear and Jason are going to make large concrete blocks and place them down there, so see we don’t need to pay exorbitant rates for councils that do nothing, pfffft.
The Girls had a lovely day at school, tonight they are staying with bear, just because they can it seems; he does spoil them rotten though. It seems so quiet here without the girls but it has been nice just to have Jason to myself. We had a lovely candlelight dinner, sat on the terrace until we froze and then had a hot bath until we cooked.
The Gardeners over the fence have been busy all day; some go home tonight and will come out on weekends. As I forecast Michele has moved the house bus down to Bears farm at least until they can get decent toilets and hot water down there. The Gardens do have a toilet in the old shop/potting shed area, but it really is beyond being used so Bear is getting a new one this week.
Well that’s all the news, so it’s time for bed. Night all.
