     This is some of the rubble we dug out of the new garden beds that our sneaky soil suppliers hid in the beds.  We still can't work out how they did it without us seeing.  

    I'm still finding places where I can't dig a hole for a new plant. Hubby has to bring the big crowbar to get them out. image

    The barometer has dropped about an inch, and the clouds are building up - maybe we'll get some rain.  another shot of the bales - Hubby's camera is better than my IPad.

    I'm beginning to wonder about the disappearance of all my little birds (finches, robins, willy wagtails  etc) in the last few weeks. We had so many and they were there every time I looked out the window. Can't help thinking there is a connection with the appearance of a pair of kookaburras that are just outside the window in the trees every day.  Hmmm.!  Not much I can do about it.image

    Pat e , yes bales a bit big !

    run lawn mower over lawns 

    if the weathers ok having some slabs laid on Thursday to stand garden table and chairs on , rather than the grass image

  • Just lots of deadheading after getting home tonight- gosh Pat E your bales are huge! Aways enjoyed farm holidays when I was a child and never came across bales that size.

    Yes Flowes I t r. The big bales seem to be the preferred type locally. I sometimes see them using the old size baling machine, but I suspect it is reserved for only top grade lucerne,  which can then be sold for a good profit. This stuff in our bales is mostly dry grass with no nutritional value to livestock.  We don't have goats now, so we'll only be using it to fill up potholes and other eroded sites etc.

    Good morning to everyone. 9am here.image
