Well, for Greg, Jem and I this has been a very busy weekend. Lawns, garden, washing aggrrrhh does it ever end - no it doesn't!!
I have wanted a vegie garden for a while now and this weekend and last weekend have been perfect to get these done. So Greg got into action last weekend and made me two perfect garden boxes (isn't he clever :-) So here is the progress:
These are 2.4m x 1.2m treated pine sleepers and bolted?? together. We bought the wood new as we didn't have anything laying around but they wern't too expensive (around $10 ea - so $60). Greg made me two of these boxes and after putting down thick newspaper on the ground, we filled them with beautiful compost made by our chickens from lawn clippings and kitchen scraps!! BEAUTIFUL RICH SOIL - and all free!!! I have planted them up but will show that in another post later.
Another thing we did this weekend is clip & wash the dogs and our Persian cat Squishy. Squishy was a stray kitten that my sister gave me when she was dumped at the vets where she works. She is beautiful however is a high maintenance cat. I personally think the breed is a mean one - with that hair grows sooooo long and then matts/knots so easily, her squished up nose (hard to breathe) and a jaw that makes it hard for her to pick up food off the ground. We keep her clipped in the "Lion cut" - her body is shaved and her head, paws and tail are kept fluffy. We DIY as we bought a shaver. We are not experts AT ALL but our animals don't complain that they don't have designer haircuts LOL.
I have to post this picture of Squishy having a bath (we didn't know but she had fleas :-( YUKKY HORRIBLE things but nothing a bath and Frontline won't fix :
AWWWWW how cute!!
We that is enough for today - bye for now
