My Place

My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Thanks @ClockFace

I really can’t believe how well my life is going at the moment. It seems that everything is falling into place. There is hope for you too.

Thats great you had a nice day with the knit and natter group @Oaktree sounds like life is coasting along well for you right now which is nice.

My life is going well can't complain really. Have to get out in the garden and follow your lead with vegetable patch. It needs some weeding. Now the moon is waning the weeds should not grow back as quickly.

Enjoy yourself watching the Coronation!

Love your little gnome @Oaktree - a great additional to your hothouse to watch over your babies.

Re: My Place

Thanks @Zoe7 I love my gnome too. He is my first one. I think every garden should have at least one gnome. When I went on a trip down south recently we visited a place called gnomesville. Basically travellers from all over come to see the gnomes and many of them bring gnomes of their own to leave behind. There are hundreds and hundreds of gnomes there in all sizes. Quite a sight.

I had a fun day today. Yesterday was double dollars day at Timezone so I put $60 on my Timezone card and got $120 credit. I also got an additional $10 credit for downloading their app. So altogether I had $130 credit on my card. So I met my sister who I have a bit of an off and on again relationship with and my great nephew who is 11 years old. We went to Timezone and my sister and I played on the dome ticket machine. It’s like one of those coin drop machines but with little round rolls of tickets instead. I got quite a few 500 ticket drops and ended the day with 11915 tickets and my sister ended up with 11500 tickets approximately but she already had 2500 tickets before she came so I did better than her. She had a similar amount of credit on her card. I think she had like $8 more than me. I spent all of my tickets and 3000 of my sisters tickets to get a really cute little Winnie the Pooh bag. I might post a picture of that tomorrow. I can’t be bothered getting the laptop out now to convert a photo so I can post it.

I am halfway through my first week of Lite n’ Easy and I am really enjoying it. I am not hungry at all. There is plenty of food. You get breakfast then a snack and the same at lunch. Lunch and a snack and then you get your choice of dinners. I didn’t know what I would like for this week or next week’s orders because I hadn’t tried any of them before but I am starting to get favourites. I will definitely order the chicken tenders again and I might even order two of those. I would rate that a 10/10! The spaghetti bolognaise was nice too but only a 9/10. I am looking forward to trying the lasagne with caesar salad.

My seedings are doing well and some of my Italian basil has germinated. Looking forward to Thursday so I can take more progress pictures.

Re: My Place

Very productive lass you are @Oaktree . Sounds like you had bigger day than me and I'm totalled.

You know what they say. A mans gnome is his castle. . . . I think

Anyway Its always good to finish my day in your garden, and I'm so glad you always invite me over..

Time zone you say.. That could be a great name for a place that does face lifts and bo tox.

Could be my new business venture.. Have to sleep on that.

Good night my friend, better leave you in peace. tonys mb 1
