happy new year in the garden!

 happy new year everyone :-)

we are bringing in the new year with a lot of mulching, fertilising,
planting out and tidying up of dead things from spring (everything got out
of hand before xmas when i couldn't find the time to do anything much). the
veggie patch has had a makeover & is looking exceedingly organised & lovely
(i like an organised veggie garden, me).

we are really pleased with how much progress we've made in the
nearly-year-and-a-half since we came here to a virtual dead-zone, & now feel
we can take things a bit more slowly. which is good, as the weather's turned
HOT at last.

so, what are you all doing in the garden atm? if you're all having beers on
the verandah & just looking at it's lush loveliness, i shall die of envy <g>

And to you and yours.


I do too but I've found it grows too if it's a mess and outside my beds,
it's an appalling mess at the moment.  And given the heat we've had int he
past few days it can stay that way till some coolth arrives.


Did that earlier this evening after the offspring and the granchild arrived.
The offspring even cooked dinner - all I did was make a salad and serve out
some strawberries from the garden which I'd had marinating in some sugar and
brandy - yum.

 
well, hello - it's cool today!! hop to it ;-)

i just find i don't really know what's going on if it becomes a huge mess.
as though the eye is overwhelmed instantly <g>. i also get a bit thingy when
tomatoes need staking, or whatever. which reminds me to stake the tomatoes
again...

makes you feel morally superior, doesn't it <g>

i've decided i like to mulch with rotting straw that has been in the rain,
because the sellers have nowhere to keep it undercover. (they still sell it
for a dry price, though!! which i find just a tad outrageous).
