Summer lurches in

It has been roasting hot for the past two days, and already I seem to have started trying to be careful with water. I suspect it's going to be a dry summer again.

We have started on the tank stand finally, we kind of need to get the tank operational in time for a big rain to fill the thing up. So we have bought some wood to make a platform on the posts we had rammed in. Have laid them all out and put the tank on top, will be great once it's done.

Also been busy in the garden, with Ben planting more seeds etc the other day and today I have just put up some baling twine for the peas to climb and made some bamboo teepees for the zucchinis to grow up.

Zucchini teepees - not sure if the two on the right are going to make it so will wait for a bit before building them a teepee each.

Peas fighting through the weeds...

What's left of the carrots on the right after the chooks ate most of the seeds, and on the left, the second batch of carrot seeds planted and chook-proofed:

Speaking of chook-proofing... another use for baling twine is chook-proofing the tomato seedlings:

It has been warm enough to take the horse's covers off and they have been having lots of grooming sessions with each other.

Meanwhile others just laze about and sleep....


Hard life huh?
