weekend gardening

Best laid plans and all that ... we didn't get to the stairs making this weekend.


Saturday we had to get the trailer emptied to get some mulch for DH mum.  It had a couple of small square water tanks we picked up for some friends in it, so we delivered them and came back with these.




We revitalised one last year and have been on the lookout for some oldies ever since.




I did a bit of tidying up in the vege patch, staked my tomatoes etc.



I'm hanging out for my tomatoes to ripen.


Zucchini, cucumber and beans down the end, DH hanging out for his corn - I see vege patch, he sees corn!


I baked some beetroot the other night - what a hit - DS4 ate nearly the whole lot!





Good friends dropped in in the afternoon, MIL for dinner, so that was the end of Saturday!!


Sunday when DH went off to do the mulching for his mum, I started repotting and dividing plants.


This little loquat tree I posted about here is now three plants.  I divided and repotted it and gave one to my neighbour along with a pot of raspberry shootings.





Out of two raspberry plants I ended up with around twelve or more little shoots, I hope they take.






By the time we did all that, mulched all the fruit trees, another day was over.


Stairs next weekend!
