my new veggie patch is become my relaxation again (now that summer is over and the plants arent dying, because theirs nothing relaxing about dead plants) i have surrounded the beds with chunks of pea straw and its looking realy great.
some might look at this picture and see patchy grass. i see picnics, cozy blankets and cussions, a relaxing spot to lay and read books, greenery in an otherwise brown spot, and best of all a spot that will be full of happy memories. our new grass is looking fuller and fuller by the day.
i was given a 'coffe table' by bennys mum for next to my favourite chair, tomorrow it will be painted matching green. perfect!
a rainwater tank!! this is exactly what we planned on saving for as soon as we ran out of ''nececities'' (microwave, second portable cot, phone that you can hear people with because ours was ridiculously quiet) in the meantime we found out that bennys uncle had one he wasnt using and was happy to lend us for the moment. gotta love luck when its working in your favour!
when i sit outside i take a deep breath and smile. despite feeling a little impatient about getting pregnant i know it will happen and in the meantime life is pretty good.
ohhhh jinx!! We have the really big papa version of the same table as our outdoor table.... we love it. Good luck with your garden. We are seeing shoots from our beans, beetroot, leeks, onions, spinach, lettuce and couliflower...all very exciting.
ReplyDeleteWe too have one of these tables - we should form a club!
ReplyDeleteWe have spinach, carrot (only one came up) and some rogue potatoes growing as well as broccoli.
Your grass looks like it's grown since Tuesday - I guess it's had lots of warm autumn sunshine to help it along!
