Compost!

Today we had 2 tons of mushroom compost delivered to our driveway and i can not think of a better way to spent my first day of holidays shovelling compost in the garden. lol Friends came over to help and was all done by lunch time. It really does make everything look so nice and rich. We have been doing love our soil week with minerals and seaweed cordial also going onto the garden to make it a happy place for our plants to live.





I also did a tidy of my storing area and found some very large stones which make a great border under the nectarine tree.



With some help i also managed to put up a temporary fence to stop Tim Tam eating the horse poo a friend brought over from his place. I really do love chicken wire and star-droppers they are the best invention in the garden.



My snow peas also had a big day today as they have left the nersery ie green house, and are now growing on my temporary fence.



The mulberry tree also had a bit of attention today for a bit of a hair-do. Well that is what it looks like anyway as we have put a net over the bottom half to stop the birds from eating all the lovely fruit when they rippen. I keep looking out the window and thinking there is a huge head with a hair net on. looks very funny!



Baily also had a an extra friend over, Yuki, so is absolutely exhausted as he missed all his normal day time naps. lol He did not quite make it fully to his bead before he fell asleep and is still only half on his bed. lol



Well that was a busy day so am off to do some knitting with a cuppa and piece of dark almond chocolate. mmmm
Oh and here is the bunch of flowers from our garden today.
