Sneaky plants!

My plants are sneaky! Here's what they were hiding yesterday. 

Capsicum?? 

(This plant came from the same punnet..) 

I spy a carrot! 

And a tiny little tomato! 

Weekends are the best!

Breakfast with my man, on the deck at the Silver Star. Perfect. 

I love my life! 

Yesterday arvo I stopped in at the hardware store on the way home from work and picked up some tomato seedlings, potting mix, a few pots and some rose fertilizer, and rose bug/disease spray. 

There were no black pots, so now my cheap placcy pots are in green and black... Oh well! 

Beautiful Roma tomatoes, 8 seedlings, I'll most likely separate each one in to it's own pot in time :) 

My roses have also been transplanted, I am hoping they will thrive in bigger pots. Eventually I'll get them pretty pots, but first they can get healthy :) 

Tonight is Mikey and Elle's farewell Mexican fiesta, so it's almost time to start pumping out tacos to feed the hordes, and finish Jess's fascinator... Somehow I don't think I'm getting any sewing done this weekend... But it's still going to rock. 

Happy weekend everyone! 

Monday madness!

I had an AWESOME day! 

My millinery order arrived at lunch time 

(But not the flowers) 

As well as some white trim which somehow avoided this photo which was thrown in complimentary. It's so wonderful, I'm so excited to play and create! 

My fabric order should also be here this week, apparently not until Friday though :( there are a few more bits in that for my fascinating fascinator encounter! 

Also WE HAVE HOT WATER AGAIN! Right after writing this out, I'm off for the best shower I've had in seemingly forever! 

And! This arvo I knocked off work, did the food shopping, then got stuck into the piles of leaves, branches, and rubbish in the back yard, and weeding the gravel beside the lawn. So rewarding! Rippy helped, as always. 

Helpful Rippy is chewing up his treasures, eventually they might even fit in the bin! 

I'd love to compost more, but our gardens are a foot deep in rocks, which doesn't lend itself to mulching all that well... So I'll do my best just to keep the rocks tidy instead! 

Happy Monday! Have an awesome Tuesday! 

Bunnings Shopping!!

What do we get at bunnings?

An Ironing Board...

Ooh look, foldable "cones"? Fancy! What could I use them for....

 Pots, Plants

More seedlings!

And check out those retaining wall bricks...  

We will file their existence into the back of our minds... 

they could be handy for planting things in...

And today I pruned my roses and potted some cuttings. I read/heard somewhere that putting honey on the bottom of the cutting, planting it, and watering it all winter should help it to take by spring. That would be awesome! Rest up my pretties, be strong for spring!

We also acquired a couple of water features, one for inside and one outside. The outside one will be just outside the kitchen, surrounded by a herb garden. Very excited to get that underway!
