What are we doing now?

People keep asking us what we are doing now.

Well, with Robert working 4-5 days a week now, a lot less is being done around the house.

The weekends tend to be occupied with maintenance.

Last weekend he put the final coat of "Vintage" purple in the kitchen,

and this weekend he puttied up the knots in the timber and primed the outside of the "shed".

The vegetable patch is developing -

we now have potatoes, squash, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkin and silverbeet planted.

The weather is perfect for growing . . . temperatures around 20 deg every day, with occasional showers. The horse manure and mushroom compost is helping add vitality to the soil -

and you can almost see daily growth.

Once crops are ready to harvest, we'll be busy cooking and preserving!
