This week has pretty much been a continuation of the previous weeks. As it has been summer holidays with Christmas and New Year, we checked out a lot of the surrounding attractions - Owlcatraz, Waitarere Beach and the Levin Aquatic Centre.
The borders of the garden were bare when we moved in. Now there are little weed forests growing in them. P found the weedspraying backpack and loaded it up with weedspray. It holds 16 litres but I don't think he filled it up. He did halfway around the garden before running out. Later on he refilled it and finished off the job. I'm not sure how many tanks it took, and that's only for the garden let alone the driveway.
The lawn needs mowing again.
The grass in the paddocks continues to get longer.
The lavender is starting to look really beautiful.
Self sufficiency is taking a back seat this week - we haven't made lemonade because we're scared to drink the water, and the only loaf of bread I made was a complete disaster.
But we have had more potatoes out of our garden. I also discovered a rabbit burrow right in middle of the vege garden!!! Cheeky rabbits.
