More Gardening

Well, it's growing time again. Time to put wee plants in the ground and watch them grow. We actually did the whole sticking-plants-in-holes thing a few days ago, but with one thing and another I am only just getting around to recording it.
The day was sunny, and very hot. Too hot in my opinion for this garden caper. First the whole weed-filled patch was de-weeded then dug over, compost was forked in, then the planting started. I, of course helped the best I could, checking which tree had the best shade, where the coolest breeze was, and what was happening at the front gate...the furthest part of the yard from the garden. Now and then I would re-locate a weed or three to other parts of the yard, but most of the time I was shade-side.
We planted some lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, basil, capsicums, and celery. It's all rabbit food as far as I am concerned, good to feed the creature I dine on, but it makes mummy strangely happy to have the little plantlings rooted contentedly in the patch.

Trying to convince Pippin to share the barrow was like asking
the world to stop turning

Once the planting was finished, out came the sprinkler! That was fun. It's like a wee little rain storm. I ran around the edges of the wet bit so's my toe feathers didn't get too soggy.
And then we were done! The big piles of weeds went into the compost heap for next time, the garden tools were de-dirted and stored back in the garage, and we all sat down for a cold drink, and a well deserved rest.
