Over the weekend hubby and I planted some vegies in the raised garden bed, and mulched them both. One raised garden bed only has strawberry plants in it and hopefully soon we will get lots of yummy berries.
Today I decided to tackle on of the front garden beds. Boy am I unfit! I have only gotton half way through and I am sore all over. It was pretty bad though. One plant had grown so big it had taken over the whole garden. I dont know what the plant is called but I do know it is a bit of a weed and for the life of me I cannot recall how it had gotton into the garden. I think my mother planted it because she has the exact same on at her place.
Anyway, we pulled it out and now the whole bed is looking better. I will rest for a little while and if the weather holds off, I will try and do some more this afternoon.
Once its all clear of weeds and everything is trimmed back I can do the fun stuff like buy more plants and put them in.
see ya

Very Sleepy
Hubby had a bad night of snoring. When he gets into full swing he is louder than a chainsaw!
I got woken up at around 2.30 am and by 4.00am I was so angry that I wanted to smother him with his pillow. I know he doesnt mean it so I got out of bed and put more wood in the fire, feed the cat, had the first of two breakfasts today and played on facebook. By 5.00am I thought that I was now tired enough that I would be able to fall asleep even with him chopping wood next to me. I did fall asleep but was up again at 7.00am. By 7.30 I knew that, I was not going to get any more sleep so I got up and have been busy with washing, looking after the chickens and cleaning the kitty litter area in the laundry. So now I am very sleepy and grumpy.
When I look back over my married life, I realise that since having children, and hubbys snoring I have not really had a full uninterupted nights sleep for 20 years.
Add to that I am now menapausal, I can tell you I am the grumpiest b@#$h
So get outta my way and do as I say or you may have to deal with the rath of Angela

well finally
finally the sun is shining and the ground is slowly drying up. Over the weekend the raised garden beds were weeded and will be topped up with compost over the next couple of days. The seedlings will go in and mulched soon after that!
Today I cleaned the front porch area, it had become the dumping ground of everything over winter and it was looking really bad. The windows were so dirty that when the sun shone through them it looked like there was enough dirt there to plant in.lol.
so all the junk was sorted, we have recyle bins at the workshop for paper, metal, and general rubbish.
then I swept the concrete and cleaned up all the leaf litter. I finally was able to give the windows a good wash and now the sun is shining through them and they look great!
A job well done even if I do say so myself. Now that the windows and verander are clean, the gardens are looking even worse than before, so that are next on the list.
As long as the sun is shining the energy levels are up and the spring clean bug bites.
If this doesnt get the winter kilos off, nothing will.
If you live in Queensland, I hope you stay dry and that the rains stop falling for you too.
