Why my chooks are homeless bums (temporarily:) and coat update

so this is where my chooks are sleeping tonight

yep thats right, on top of the gate in which is supposed to keep them in their yard! (they are in desperate need of a much higher fence. ok make that i and my veggie seedlings are)

why are they roosting on their fence you ask?

because i decided to paint their coop on the weekend. I figured a coupla coats of paint, if i start in the morning should be ready for them by bed time right?

apparently not so much if your using oil based paints (my gosh i hate oil based paint clean up, but its just so shiny... and hard wearing...)

so ive been buisy the past few days, borrowing paints from my dad, getting all the way home and realising it needs primer under coat (still in mum and dads shed 45 mins away...) getting impatient and just painting a little without it...

Im painting it two shades of green with flowers on the light green sides. These were pics on the weekend, ive got more done since then, ill take pics 2mrw

looks way pretty already just getting rid of the grey corrugated iron!

heres my coat in its current state

whats that you thought i was knitting from the bottom?

yes i was, but then i realised that i realy couldnt figure out how to do the top and arms that way. so mum ripped it all out for me. it was a little painfull to watch! and from it came this massive ball to be re knit

Heres my veggie patch. Like always the weeds are growing as fast as the plants! All the plants are doing well too.

Ive planted cauili, spinich (baby and regular), egg plants, cellery, asian mixed greens, chinese cabbage, peas, beetroots, carrots, turnips, lettuce, broad beans, and perhaps a few ive forgotten about! a lot of them ive grown from seed which is extra exciting

The border is made of rocks i found in the the drain way next to our house (score!)
