Finally, finally, finally I can hear rain falling on the roof. Although it is only a few millilitres, anything is very much appreciated. The weather has also cooled down, so last weekend I spent a day pulling out the old plants in the raised vegetable gardens and planted some new seedlings - lettuce, English spinach, celery, dwarf beans and some Petunias. Hopefully they will grow with lots of fertilizer and a good bag of paca poo. I separated all the strawberry plants (and gave half away) and again this year planted some garlic in with the strawberries - nothing came near my strawberries last year and I am guessing it might be the garlic - who knows? The best thing is that I used cloves from garlic I grew last year.
With nothing much happening outside, I have been watching a sweet potato sprouting in the pantry cupboard. It has been there about a month, growing in the heat and dark and now is trying to produce leaves. I think it is time to get it into the garden, though I am not sure how.
A local festivAL is being held in the town on Sunday, so I have made some little Nunos to put on my Spinning group's stall. It will be interesting to see if anyone will like them. I won't mind if they all come home again as I have incorporated some fabric which is about 20 years old so the items have a sentimental value to me.
And as I expected another little alpaca has been created - Paris Paca. Just too cute... She's off to Brisbane to a little girl called Mia.
