And another week of neglect.  I’m working a lot the next few weeks but desperately trying to stay on top of things.  We’ve decided that it was really really dumb to sell our old utility trailer last year as there is no green waste pick-up here and yesterday alone I (over)filled the wheelbarrow twice with weeds.

This week, my daughter and I transplanted some carrots, more kale and a dozen or so jack-o-lantern seedlings from the greenhouse into a raised bed on the east side of the house.  I had to booby trap said raised bed as our black lab Agnes is fond of digging in that exact spot.

The beans are coming along and the apple trees are out of control with zillions of apples starting to grow, as is the plum tree.  I was sad in my discovery that some of the ‘weeds’ I pulled out of the veggie garden were actually giant poppies, but there were crowding the beans and strawberries, and I’d rather have fresh food over pretty petals.  I’ll save the seed from whats left and plant them next year. 

No pics, but the tea-tree seedlings are finally starting to look like little trees, which is quite exciting considering the age of the seed packet I found them in.
