The Vege Garden.............


The summer vege garden really doesn't have much in it as it is way to hot here.
Herbs are all doing well but that is about it.




I have been spending time in the green house as it is very cool. I have a grapevine growing over it as well so it is the perfect spot on a hot summer day when you want to be out side.


I took a lot of cuttings in spring and this week they have gone out into the garden.
Now I need to get in and take some more as it is looking bare in here.

 The lettuce and bok choy seeds I planted on Sunday are already up.
I have been growing my lettuce in here as it doesn't bolt to seed that way.



The glass is another shady spot in the late afternoon with grape vine growing on it as well.
The succulents love it in here all year round.


As you can see I took this photo mid day and it is very shady.


This is my most favorite spot looking out to the vege garden, at the end you can see the green house and how it is very covered in vine.


Most of the vege beds look like this one bare...I am getting ready to sow carrots in this one in a week or two.



My little bird feeder I made from chipped china,
my new found fun making garden art from old china.




Bruce has been making these mini glass houses and selling them as fast as he makes them.
Lucky we have a good supply of windows...


How is your vege garden going through summer?
it does make it hard doesn't it.

We are really battling the heat lately in the garden and I am thank full I have a good under water supply for the garden....as we have missed out on most of the rain this summer...

Enjoy your week

Getting Ready For A Summer Holiday.

It has not been the best summer for Robbie having his arm in plaster.
He has been slowly driving me mad...which according to some family members isn't hard to do...
Tomorrow we go back to the hospital and God willing the plaster will
come off. Please pray that it does.
Then he will be able to go for a swim.
We leave for our summer holiday at the beach on Saturday, and I don't think
any of us would survive with that arm still in plaster!!!!!!
I love this holiday.........we tow the caravan to cotton tree and set up camp.
We are almost on the waters edge where our site is. I love the
relaxed atmosphere in the caravan park. Just swimming and lazy long
days. I have a bit of work to do around here first though.
David is staying in the caravan until he leaves on Friday so I will give it
a good clean out then.
I keep every thing I need in the van so all I need to pack in there is our clothes and food.
This year there will only be 3 out of 7 children with me.Less than 1/2 my family. I will have to learn to cook in smaller portions or we will be eating alot of leftovers.


Looks like today is going to be another warm day here. To all my overseas readers who are
in the middle of winter, keep warm ....
