Today I have put up net curtains, done tons of washing,
finished fencing the big garden, mulched all the plants, evened the stake
heights, pulled more weeds, moved the log again, finally found my bull nose
pliers that I have been trying to find for weeks and shelled a pile of walnuts.
I wasn’t quick enough to catch a pic of everybody together this
morning but I did fluke this cool shot of Lola, Sugar and Lippy all grazing
happily in each other’s company.
Here is the drift log I have been dragging around for her.
She can’t move it, it gives her something to stand on (goats just love to climb
on stuff) and it gives her a good wide area to fill her tummy.
It does need a set of wheels on the back though...its very
heavy!
One of my cape gooseberry plants I raised from seed. I have
put some mulch around the base but kept the wire cage around it for extra
protection while it gets established. I can’t wait for them to grow.
I use to always sneak off to the Cape
gooseberry bushes at Nana and Gramps when I was little, fond memories of peeling
back the paper lantern and then the burst of flavour as you bit into it. As the
fruit grew and ripened, the lantern leaves would slowly age and would become
like a leaf skeleton under the tree.
Along the edge of the fence on patio side, I am going to put
some of my pots and some more herbs.
