I couldn't have a backyard without....

Some flowers!!

Some photos also taken on Mothers Day......















Went to an auction last night. Was hoping to get 4 bar stools at a really good price. But they ended up going for around $70. Still not too bad for 4, but I was hoping for $40. They aren't what I want in the long term, but thought they would be good enough to start with. Kicking myself that I didn't grab a shabby chic style telephone stand. Went for $12!! Next time :)

Vegie garden update....

Took these photos on Mothers Day. I spent a couple of hours gardening.....


I dug out bits of grassing coming into the beds, added some organic compost that I bought from Vicki and Adrian at Eureka Organic Compost in the Swan Valley, soaked my pea hay in a wheelbarrow full of water and then spread over the bed. Then I moved a little of the hay and planted the seedlings....Beautiful!!






this one tastes like cucumber....interesting!
