  • This summer has been the first of many where Hayden is away at work all summer. That means all the little jobs to maintain the land fall on me.

    looking after the land is not as pleasant as one may think, I learned that the hard way too.

    Hay love to see your videos again what we did when we planted our trees is if u put a tire around them like over the top it keeps the weeds down and when your weeding them you will never hit them or damage them

    If you can get some old carpet you can cut squares with a slit to put around your plants.
    Oh and someone's been growing bigger over the summer! No and I didn't mean the grass or courgettes!

    It's been a terrible few yrs for fruit. Don't ket it discourage you ❤. I've found raised gardens easier to look after. Just one plank of 2x6inches but makes it easier. I decided to pick my zucchinis as narrows so I had more food lol hope you're ok. Remember you're not alone if you need to chat ❤

    So good to see you back Karen and looking so good,
    I loved to see you charging round on the lawn
    tractor and not giving up on starting the
    weed wacker,thy can be really obstinate.
    as any Aussie would say "Fair Dinkum lil sheila"
    Good to see reese growing like a weed ,must be
    all the rain and motherly love ....and then along
    comes Hayden in his very green tractor trailer
    so everything is alright again and just maybe
    the sound of hammer and nails again .
    Take care guys be happy love life

    I certainly sympathise about our 'summer'. It's been great weather for farmers (unless in the cyclone hit region), slugs, snails and other garden pests. My shrubs have created a jungle and I've had to mow the lawns 2x a week and take grass to the dump because the compost couldn't cope. At least I didn't have a toddler to keep me out of trouble as well😆. You're looking great and appear to be surviving solo for the summer. I hope Hayden didn't have too many events cancelled. Thanks for sharing.

You are looking well too Karen, all that healthy country air must be doing you good. Blessings on your household and your homestead and all the best with the house build.

    "courgette" - I learned a new word today. Too bad it is the same as a zucchini (not a fan). My cousin use to send me zucchinis and I would get even with him by giving him whole branches of Brussels Sprouts - until he fed them to the deer instead of eating them.

    Great update, it's certainly been a strange summer season. With the trees, it's worth using a plastic tree surround and a couple of stakes for each tree to protect them.
