I have to go north from Tasmania Snags LOL
Sounds like a nice crop of passionfruit AUSSIEDOWNUNDER!

The cockies can be really distructive, watched a flock at a sheep sale once that stripped all the leaves of the gum trees at the yards.
Been busy cleaning out old veggie beds and topping with manure and compost ready for the next plantings.
Also readying my little campervan for a few months travelling starting at the end of April.

Weeding, weeding and more weeding. Want to spend the next few months getting the garden under control and then I will take off next year and go grey nomading for 6 months 🙂

Will be heading to the dump shop soon to do the same with my hot houses Aussiedownunder.  Have been putting planters near the doors of the hothouses to plant some lavender to attract bees for pollination but so far the shake of the tomatoes is doing the job of pollinating on them………………but at least the lavender will look and smell nice 🙂

Silly season ballamara!  I;m still busy in the garden, last raised garden bed built and started on the paving, which should stop the dirt being carted into the house.   Happy with the way it’s all turning out and will be a pleasure to grow veg especially as I’m getting older as with the raised beds there is no back breaking bending over.

Second hothouse completed,  Still a lot of ground work to do to get the pavers down but will be a great area of the kitchen dining room when completed.

Some more I will have to track down now that I have moved here 🙂

Went for random drive for a couple of days and ended up dropping in on hillbillygirl, think it’s been 8 years since I I had that trip to Tasmania and joined in on a get together then.  Nice to see her old house coming along.  Then came home to find my son has started on the second hothouse 🙂

Poly tunnel ballamara……………….shame it came up upside down but if you open the link it’s the right way up :-S

Hot house number 1 completed, waiting for number 2 to arrive.  It’s been a big job transplanting all the plants that were in that area but all of them have transplanted well.

I like your ideas TropicalRose and may have to do something along the same lines 🙂

Nice not to be battling rats calliecat!   But have discovered Tasmania’s jumping ants……………….bitey little blighters feel just like the ground green ant when they get you.But have finished moving 15 azalias and hundreds of bulb which were all in an area of 15 feet X 15 feet and there are still 2 large rose bushes, a camelia tree,…[Read more]

Busy moving azalias to another spot in the garden as I want the patch for my winter veggie garden hot house.

Yeh we’re back 🙂

Yes on canvas, I started it while at Nauiyu ( aboriginal community) in June when i was there for a christianing and got welcomed into the community and met some wonderful people.  Dot painting takes a LOT of time!

Wet,windy day so stayed inside and finished my dot painting that I started while at daley river NT

Hands are  so sore from using the secuters all day so think I might just hop in the car and take a drive…………………………..no destination.

New fence is finished, so have been hacking my way through the undergrowth and doing chop and drop.

Spent the last week hacking through undergrowth to get the old delapidated fence out so I can put up a new fence to keep the dog in.

Hope you get your ” liquice allsorts strawberries” aussiedownunder……………………but,hey, doesn’t matter what colour as long as they grow and taste good :-)Found a few dead rats, so taking the gamble and started planting again……………….have to hunt for bodies every morning encase they make it to the chook pen next door.Going back…[Read more]
