Good Day for Gardening

We did a little gardening this morning,
The forecast was for rain,
but instead it was a beautiful sunny day.
Hubby has finished off another couple of plots,
so it was time to do some planting.
In went

Spring onions
Bok Choy
hiding in there somewhere

Broccoli

Peas
Beans

this is me
(doing all the work as usual lol)
And our dog Millie always willing and eager to give a hand.
She carries a ball 24/7 hoping that someone will throw it for her.
Even our visitors get pestered.
Hope the weather is being kind in your neck of the woods,

  1. Hello Tania, Looks like you had a very productive day in the garden. Your dog Millie is just beautiful, she looks like she is getting old. Reminds me of my parents last dog, she carried a ball around 24/7 as well.

  2. Looks like your shoulder must be a little better as you're working in the garden! I hope so!

  3. I think what impresses me most is that you can bend down like that to work in your garden. That would kill my knees.

  4. Looks like you've got a lot done in your garden already! Can't wait till the time comes and I can get digging around in our! I love planting things and watching them grow. There's also something about playing in the dirt! :) Guess I never did outgrow that!

  6. Looking good Tania :) Lot's of good mulching there.I really need to get into my garden and clean up for the colder weather soon too. Your doggie reminds me of ours - always with a ball in the mouth waiting for someone to throw it!

  7. Ugh, I can't believe you so organised this year! I haven't even got a patch ready... :/ Might be late veggies for us, or I'll be growing them in pots! :/

  8. Looks like you've been having fun. I did a whole bunch of planting on the weekend and you know what happened today? My chickens ate every single silverbeet seedling and half of my brassicas! That's it for them, no more roaming wherever they want.

  9. Sharon, Millie is 12 years old.

    Carol, my shoulder is still sore, but it is getting to the point where I am trying to ignore it and get on with what I need to do!

    Yes Veggiegobbler, know all about chooks, that is why our garden is fenced. They still get at my flower garden though. They have 2.5 acres to roam on, so why my garden?

  10. You garden will be wonderful and productive. Nothing like home grown food.

    Cool weather in my part of the country, with regular rain.

  14. Fantastic! In no time at all, that mulch will be left for dust by your vegies stretching up and over!

    I'm afraid I lose a fair bit to the bugs and the chooks too but I figure, I plant 15% for the bugs, 30% for the chooks or thereabouts so I should have 50% left LOL

    I bet it's hard to resist Millie!
