seeding away

A couple of months ago we made these awesome owls at playgroup.


As you can see, the top of the egg cartons were used and each 'end'.  I quickly gathered the centre's of the used cartons and brought them home to plant seeds in.

Matthew and I had a seed planting morning, then did a couple more rows of carrots in the vege patch.


DD2 - aka Emily - scored these Lemon Scented Tea Tree seed sticks from Uni for me, so in they went.  


She is about to become much closer to the family after today - she ran out of points and has to hand her licence in today.  You only get 4 in the first year and she got zapped for speeding twice in a week last December.  It's taken them eight months to get the notice out to her.  Guess who'll be running around after her!! Grrrrr ...

We've entered the Junior Landcare Watermelon Challenge this year.  We've done it years ago, I was reminded of it here on The Little Black Cow's lovely blog.


Matthew is eagerly awaiting his seeds, I can see the competition will be fierce, we'll have to start preparing a bed for the bestest watermelon!

Have a lovely day, I'm off to tackle the more mundane chore of ironing (yuk) :)
