Jobs, jobs and more jobs

I've got a 3 day weekend, due to a RDO on Friday so the to do list is getting longer!

Friday is going to begin with walking Zane to the bus stop then off to his school for assembly before heading to kinder to move a pile soil to their vegie patches. Then its back home to do some work on the vegie beds, all the tomato and zucchini plants are coming out and a major weeding job is required.

I will be getting a load of soil and compost mix delivered later this afternoon for the vegie beds and am planning to go to the neighbours to split a load of wood that we cut week before last.

Also have the job of sorting out my seeds to see what I have and what I need to order, 3 of the smaller beds should be ready to plant out this weekend or next, the larger bed might take abit longer.

We still have not had any eggs from the chooks, cant be much longer to wait. Lisa has been letting them out to scratch around the garden most days and they are loving that!

I'll post some photos of what we get done over the weekend and let you know if the to list is getting short or not!

Busy day

So far today I have picked 7 1/2kg of damsons, 3kg of blackberries and about 5 kilos of windfall apples. Started a batch of damson jelly, its currently straining and will be finished of tomorrow. Made a batch of blackberry vinegar, that should be ready for straining and bottling next weekend. I'm currently making a batch of damson cheese - never made it before so not quite sure what it will be like and cooking a batch of blackberry and apple to go in the freezer.

Also had friends around for lunch, cleaned the chook house, entertained the kids and done many loads of washing up, I will be going back to work on Monday for a rest!!!
