Soaking up the last days of winter

Our little silky chicks who will one day roam our garden

Spring is coming, spring is coming,
birdies build your nests.
Weave together straw and feather,
doing each your best.

One of our latest spring blooms. Benny's mum has planted lots of bulbs here over the years and its such a fun surprise seeing all kinds of flowers bloom. I love these and they have the most beautiful scent

 Spring is coming, spring is coming,
flowers are waking too.
Daisies, lilies, daffodillies,
all are coming through.

 Here's the veggie patch as it is today. There are so many seeds sprouting and the broad beans are getting big.

Outdoor snacks with child picked sour sob flower bouquet (this is a weed in Australia but children love to pick them and chew their sour stems)

 Benny's mum has given me two of these big strawberry pots because she doesn't want to take them with her to the new house. I'm so thankful as I know how well they have done in this garden previous years. The most exciting part of all...

 The first strawberries are starting to appear! Yep, its a good time to be inheriting strawberry plants

New to me bricks mean a little more garden bed edging! Its getting there. Abundant stinging nettles are making for delicious meals and 'weed soup' for the garden. (Ive covered weeds with water in a bucket and left it to decay for a few weeks. It will then be strained and added to the garden to add nutrients)

 Ive been doing a few more spring preparation crafts

and also some woodworking (more on that later, bet you cant guess what I'm making... :)
