In My Garden Yesterday

Garden Pests

Many years ago my husband planted Bamboo along the side of the yard as a screen. The Golden Bamboo was fine but the other one has been travelling under the pavers and anywhere else it could find. There was also some Ivy that came from somewhere that was becoming a pest as well. Time to pull it out!!!!  It looks absolutely revolting along here now but once the Bamboo roots are out my Rusty tin fence will be extended and a new garden bed put in.

The whole backyard is exposed but I have to be patient because nothing every happens in a hurry here.

At least I will have some bamboo stakes to make frames for the beans this year as well as anything else I can think of to use them for. If anyone wants any just pop in and take them. There  are 100's

Sunday. Picnics and Photography

We packed morning tea and set off for a friends shearing shed. Husband wanted some manure for his vegie garden. While he was busy under the shed filling bags, Nicky gave me a few lessons in manual photography. It is so much easier to work out when there is someone talking you through it and she is really good at explaining it all to me. 

The shearing shed is up on a hill with the most amazing views. I was limited by the lens I have but I think you can see the beautiful country we have here.

This is from the shearing shed looking towards where I live. Waaaay over there!!!

From the hill above the shearing shed. It is behind the trees.

It was a lovely weekend with amazing weather and lots to do. Nicky went home with pots of herbs from the garden , treasures from the Op Shop and a couple of Tadpoles in a jar. Last night I managed to get a couple of hours Quilting done, so all round it was perfect!
