A small video

Got a bit carried away and bought a wildfire chili seedling from Palmers, it shouldn't be planted outside till the night temp gets to 13%. I have planted it outside already so it will be interesting to see how it goes. There is no danger of a frost anymore but it could be slow to thrive. The seeds we planted for more tabasco chilis haven't shown any signs of life so far. The thai basil ones planted at the same time have germinated though.
Just did a big lawn mowing and a bit of mulching with the clippings. Got the new lot of compost under way, just have to add some blood & bone to give it some oomph.

Made a quick movie around the garden, somebody remarked it was like being a white butterfly...

More house preparation

But also got some good preparation done in the garden. Distributed all the compost around the vege patches, specially where the peppers and tomatoes are going to go.
Here are the long pepper seedlings today, we've been putting them out in the sun by day and bringing the little babies inside at night.
:) They need seperating into seperate pots soon though.



Snipped a lot of the small heads of the fractal broccoli, still growing well, long thin tender shoots with small fractals on the end.

Did a lot more stopping and sanding to the house and gave the whole side a wash. All ready for paint now!
Whew!

Sanding the house

Been busy preparing the side of the house for painting before too much begins growing there again in the vege patch. Hope to get a coat of primer on the bare wood next weekend.
The fractal broccoli have grown some neat long ends...
