The girls have spent the last couple of days hanging out with me and today we got to spend some time in the garden. Ava used the fork and turned over some of the garden while Liv raked, they were quite enthusiastic and happily talked like two little chatter boxes as we did it. It was so lovely to spend time with them and the extra hands to help were much appreciated.
We planted quite a few Borage plants for
the bees, some Leeks, Coriander and two Rhubarb plants I split up from the ones
in the drum. I also got a bit of weeding done which was great.
Here are the first
baby Carrots and Beets from the garden, they are so sweet and yummy. The girls
just loved grabbing them from me as I pulled them out, they were so excited and
even Lipstick got to sample one.
A quick wash under the hose and then laid out
in the shade to dry off in the breeze. They were delighted to take them home tonight. One of
the last jobs of the day was cleaning out the chook house. One full bucket of
dry chook poo which I spread (by hand, while grossing the girls out) across the
garden.
