Planter Boxes!!!

I finally got off my fat backside in time for spring planting. Photos below are of the two new big planting areas and the large planter box I created today.

Raddish, spring onion, parsley, carrots, and lettuce will be the first to be planted.

I've also invested in some chicken wire to create some frames to cover the planting areas (to stop cats and butterflies from eating and stomping them).

Lazy/Winter

I REALLY should start planting my autumn seeds, but ive been so damn lazy/distracted.

To do so, will require pulling all summer stock, and building the raised bed ive been meaning to build for about three months now.

Hopefully ill find enthusiasm over easter. photos will follow.

Blue Berries!!!

So I finally got some blue berry bushes yesterday, along with a couple of big tubs to grow them in. I've put them in each corner of the yard, but I think they'll be more easily netted when they start fruiting if they're in the same corner.

Guide for growing Blueberries

My spinach and pumpkin are going bananas! in fact, everything is growing really well considering their small containers.

and one more shot of the dirt mound now 'volcano-ed' out for the blue berry tubs.

Spiders and fish - these are a few of Boogins' favourite things...

Yesterday I bought:

The fish based fertiliser uses a rampant fresh water pest (carp) as the base for a good organic liquid fertiliser, and helps reduce the number of carp in our delicate fresh water streams and rivers.

Last night, Boogins found the huntsman spider that decided to squat in our bedroom without even paying rent! Here's Boogins chasing said spider:

The spider in question:

And here is looking proud as punch after a job well done:

Then resting (a size 12 foot for scale - he's a BIG cat):

And the spider once caught. He was taken outside to a nice leaf littered area to recover from his ordeal. I love spiders, because I hate flys and mosquitoes.

And just one more artist shot of the kid on the aircon manual saying "Look mum! A spider!"
