I didn't walk this morning. Instead I packed the dogs in the van and drove to Hanna's place. As the rose of dawn came over the hills in the east I was busy forking over ground in preparation for the fast approaching spring. Rain is forecast again so I want to get a wriggle on. After a couple of hours I had a good half of the patch I was working on done which exceeded my intentions. I then put some broad beans in where I had dug earlier and planted some pansy seedlings in the garlic bed where a fair amount of the garlic didn't come up, rotting in the ground instead.
If it's not raining I'll be there again in the morning to continue. The dogs love it there because rabbits are prolific and they get more exercise chasing them than with me walking them on the lead. The rabbits will be a problem with my herbs and vegies, my intention is to put temporary barriers around the beds using weedmat and garden stakes but at this stage it's an idea only and may not work. It needs to be something I can put up and take down quickly and easily.
There's a garden bed in a cage where Harry used to grow strawberris and grapes. I planted silverbeet seedlings in there yesterday. The wire sides needed a bit of repair here and there (I saw rabbits in there last year).
Our bathroom renovations are on hold as we wait for the shower screen man to do his installation after coming to measure up last Wednesday. As soon as that bathroom is done, work on the other can begin.
