Well due to being stuck at home with a sick child I am making some decluttering progress!!!Have managed to give away a few unwanted items to happy recipients, which included some broken items that I did not have the skills to fix (hopefully they do!), clothes to people with younger kids and books to others who will use them as whilst I could hang…[Read more]

thanks for all the tips!!! Sounds like there are a few of us out there with shed.cupboards of just in cases!!! really appreciate your ideas and input!Yes I definitely think about who would have to clean it out if it wasn’t me, and that is a really good tip. And yes i totally agree with your thoughts Kasalia on not being about to find that “item I…[Read more]

I have a citrus fruit tree mini orchard, and we are constructing a herb spiral as well.

oh bugger… there is an offer on panels available to us, thought this must have been an good sing that would give me some info… what’s with this spamming stuff makes me sad who could be bothered….

Wave hi

No but i’m keen to hear of any too!

Definitely thinking the moon still, energy good atm…. @-)

Been away for a while, so haven’t been here. But with colds flu and rain have mainly been attacking indoor projects such as cleaning, decluttering and cooking.Made my first ever (can’t believe I haven’t made one before as I love rice) risotto, and it was a success (pumpkin and carrot flavour), plus my first ever attempt at lemonade scones (can’t…[Read more]

Nice chicken house MistyH! look forward to seeing the progress! :-h

Starting to think it is definitely the moon though as it is nearly the shortest day but energy levels are high…!

Will give that a go Ballamara, I don’t hold out too much hope though manually pulling seems the only thing to work (i have even gone the chemical route before X_X , but whilst that knocks the ones down that are around at the time the next lot just pop straight back up so nothing is gained) think a good hoe needs to get onto my shopping list!

I’m not too sure on the facts, but I do remeber reading something that low iodine issues had started to become a problem as in the past everyone used iodised salt, but as many people these days don’t add salt for health reasons they weren’t getting enough iodine. I’m sure like anything it should be used in moderation. Maybe just use iodised salt…[Read more]

Aww love the pics of your animals enjoying their tucker!

Wasn’t actually today but over the weekend, did some weeding – does anyone have any tips on dealing with oxalis (soursob) it is an absolute pain. Have even come through the raised beds (which have about 50cm of mulch/soil in them)… takes over our whole yard in winter!

You could be on to something there Mukluk. I know I do get a bit of SAD going on in winter, short days definitely not my thing! Will have to keep track of the two and see how my energy levels vary…!

Been busy away from home with kids sports! But from lunchtime today (its a longweekend in wa) got busy with home stuff … Scored well at the local tip to continue our crazy paving area (see pic) collected more limes & grapefruit (see pic) baked (see pic) … Now a bit of feet up!
Unfortunately no slowing down or sleep ins here!!
What sort of…[Read more]

Finding the time during the shorter days is always extra hard!

Great thread Bel, your piece of dirt is lovely, great area around the hills there, look forward to more updated 🙂

What a fabulous yard Steve!

Wow looks great – would love some big rainwater tanks, we have only a small one, which is sad given we have a huge roof, but all a matter of $$$.
