some of the babies

These are our plumbs, I planted two sorts but one tree was eaten by the goats so I dont remember what sort these are. I think they are blood plumbs but we will see.

These are my nashies, my kids love nashies. we have two nashie trees.

This is one of the many apple trees we have planted. I think they are a red apple.

This is our gold mine nectarine. It is its second year of fruiting and its got heaps on it.

This is our star the apricot tree. its so loaded down with fruit I almost feel sorry for it.

We have nets so next job is to net all the trees so we will get to eat all this yummy fruit.

Its raining, yeah!

Its finally raining. Its been threatening for days but it just wouldnt. Today was treatment number 5 for leanne. Only one more to go.
At least after a day spent at the hospital I dont have water the gardens.

blooming beautiful

Here are some pictures of my roses. We pruned them hard this year and alot of people thought I had killed them. But here they are blooming marvalous.

Please ignore the weeds. They just keep on coming.

promised pictures

this is our potatos growing strong

these are our corn popping their heads out of the sugarcane mulch

this is the garden that rested over winter, you cant see the pepper plants or the eggplants but they are there.

You can just see the pepper plants bordered by the carrots we planted over winter.

this is the whole garden you can see the carrots, one broccoli plant and a couliflower plant

A very productive few days

Over the very long weekend we all got stuck in and weeded the vegie gardens, mulched them with sugar cane mulch and finished planting them all out.
We were very tired but the gardens look great. I will post some pictures as soon as I take them. Hopefully later today.
My other productive endeavour was today when I got a job!
At the gym that I go to they needed someone to only do two shifts a week. Perfect for me as I have plenty to do here but also like the idea of doing something outside of the home. This means that my gym membership is now free as an emplyee.
Thats a saving of $600.00 a year!!
Plus the money I earn will go towards paying off the credit card. As christmas is nearly here that will be great. I have made alot of home made gifts this year to keep costs down and so I have nearly fininshed my christmas shopping anyway. Only hubby and two offspring really left to do.
Am I a clever little dickens or what.
Hope your day is blessed too.
see ya!

Just when your give up all hope

Just when you give up all hope that all you have taught your childern has filtered away, they go and prove you wrong. This morning wonderson put all his washing away without me having to say a thing. And when she got up baby girl did the same. They also finished the washing and hung it out to dry.
That puts me in my place.

out and about in the sun

Today we dug and weeded around the fruit trees in the second orchard. Then we gave them a really good water. We had two olive trees planted a few years ago and they have been growing but not thriving. Or so we thought. Over the winter weeds had grown up around them and we thought that we had lost them. But after removing the weeds and digging an area around them, we saw that they were in fact thriving and they even had small blossoms on them. I will get some horse poo from a friend and put that around them as the soil is very sandy and hopefully we will get some olives soon.
