Blueberries and boxes


Another day and more jobs to do, firstly the boys wanted to plant some blueberry bushes. They are the boys current favourite fruit and if you have seen the price of them you will understand why I want to be growing them rather then buying them!
As usual I enlisted my young helpers, first we dug the bed
 
Then each of the boys planted a bush

 
As with everything at the moment Zane was saying its going to be a race to see which bush fruits first!
Next on the list of jobs was clearing the covered area of the many boxes and making up the new outdoor setting, again with my able helpers!


Surprisingly we managed to build the setting ok even with Zane wanting to tighten every screw himself.


After a walk around the back I found some planks of wood, with more usable wood from the wood shed and  nails from the shed I was able to knock together a raised bed, I even used tools that I had found lying around!
This along with 2 others I have made are going on an area I have just cleared along the carport, hopefully I will get the soil in them next weekend and be able to plant some stuff out soon.
