I Called a Self-Enforced Powercut to do This
First I was trying to update our emergency preparedness and then I created my own powercut. But it's all in the name of getting the waterblasting done while we have copious amounts of rain and tank water.

What Did he Find in a Scrap Pile This Time?
Переглядів 158День тому
Steve brings home a scrap pile find and makes something fun for the kids. I'm attempting to increase our carrot supply by sowing more carrot seeds in both gardens, plus parsnips and more potatoes. And how about that giant spinach beet that needs to come out? Then there's dealing with the feistypants broody hen.

    Hi Julia. Nice to see your garden beds all ready for summer. What types of tomatoes do you plan to grow this year? I'm in Auckland and everything is in now, as nights have warmes enough. I'm trying 3 kinds of pumkin this year and attemting to tame them by growing them up🤣I look forward to seeing your summer garden. You're really lucky to have a huge growing area. And the kid's playhouse project looks intriguing too! Lovely scrap timber🏡

      Hi, thanks for stopping in! 🙂 I talk about what tomatoes I'm growing in this video, Should I Actually Start Seeds? ua-cam.com/video/bzlBAJQJlio/v-deo.html I haven't actually gotten them in yet (which is late!) because I had trouble with them after transplanting into individual pots with the potting mix I used. Good that you've got your garden in, that's always a good feeling.

    You just popped up in my suggested list. Suburban gardener from Melbourne Aus here. I usually chop the leaves up with a line trimmer first so they don't mat up so much and break down quicker. I sometimes have a little helper too but she doesn't like to get her hands dirty so it's more answering questions and her telling me I missed something.😁 All good. Cheers!
