Funny how life can have twists and turns.

Out Back

It was a cold and frosty morning

1C (34F)

Once the sun came up,  fog drifted over the town...

 After lunch I ventured outside to the garden

and passed these three pretties enjoying the sunshine.

It was a lovely and warm 21C (70F)

I did some digging,

And took the cover off the capsicums,

so they could enjoy the sun J

Kale...

 Onions...

 Chives...

 I removed the shade from the sweet potatoes...

New shoots are forming...

Celery...

Strawberries...

Flowering broccoli...

 More celery,

 this stuff grows wild. It is coming up everywhere all over the garden...

Like it is here...

Rhubarb...

I am going to pick some and make a Rhubarb cake like this ONE.

There are nice healthy new shoots...

 Silver beet...

 Carrots...

 pretty lacy flower from carrot patch...

These are growing wild too...

They coming up in the other garden beds,

these ones are among the sweet potatoes. 

Carrots, carrots

Everywhere...

 including the pathways J

 There is even a carrot with this newly discovered tomato plant.  

I am guessing this is the tiny toms variety, they too grow like weeds lol.

 New growth...

 This will be the last pic of the beetroot,

as I will be picking them tomorrow J

I have picked the main broccoli but they are still producing little ones, so they get to stay a bit longer. 

When they are finished, the leaves will go to the chooks (Aussie term for chickens) as they love them..

 Spring onions, silver beet and garlic.

I really must thin some of these onions.  

You guessed it they grow WILD too!

I am hoping I have found a solution to my water woes.  

Think I might try these...

You can see how to make your own "Olla's" at threeForks

or these ones HERE

What is growing in your garden this time of year? 

 Do you have any water saving advice that works for you?  

Have you tried Olla's in your garden?

Thank you to my new friend over at jonesgardenblog.com 

(where I discovered the olla's) for sharing this link

Has given me something to think about with regard to our pool.

Blue Skies

Spring has arrived today with a nice warm sunny 24C (75.2F).

 I happened to look up while I was hanging clothes to see some unusual sky art.  Not sure what these clouds mean, but they sure looked pretty...

Thought I would share with you.

Enjoy!

J

Blue skies or cloudy at your place?
