SUNDAY FUNDAY

CherryBombSenior Contributor06 Feb 2015, 7:40 pm AEDT

SUNDAY FUNDAY

It's Friday, which means it's the weekend! What are you up to? Whatever you're doing, share it with us on Sunday Funday.

I'm hoping we can get a little creative and share photos, poems, pictures, or even just a post - whatever you like! Anything that you feel represents how you spent your time over the weekend, and then on Sunday share it with us here.

I'll aim to take photos of my weekend activities and share them with you.

Looking forward to 'seeing' and hearing about your weekend.

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Hey Jacques,

What seeds did you plant? I have been having fun getting the garden ready for Spring too, though I pretty much always opt for seedlings rather than seeds. My thumb is NOT green and any garden success I have is by dint of numbers rather than skill 🙂

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

i have planted porchalacas (pigs face) and maragolds, this is my first time wit hseeds too, i usually buy seedlings too, but it would have been too expensive to buy so many as the area i need to do is 40m i planted i think red robin shrubs last year and they have taken off, so i am excited to see how i have done this time.

thanks @chookmojo for taking an interest. what have you got planed for the garden? i would love to hear.

Take Care

Jacques

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Sorry guys I missed all the fab Sunday Funday posts last week went offline at 5pm

A huge congrats @WombatBoots, I'm pretty new here but can see how big your news is...How did work go?...So...it's Sunday folks and I've been thinking....

@Mazarita what a picture down at the beach you painted, I felt like I was there or rather a desperate desire to want to be there - I love the beach, although a bit chilly today.@Appleblossom you reminded me of how much I love a good coffee and a movie on a Sunday...well let's be honest any time really....What did you see?@chookmojo...I can so relate to your comment on its a numbers game for me in the garden too, particularly with additional forces of 2 4 legged and 2 2 legged people running around!! Good on you @Jacques for giving it a go. Any sign of life yet from the seeds? I love pig faces so here's one now

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Whoops! not having a good IT day...so all of that chatter from me was to say, thanks to everyone...I've:

- bought some seedlings (more veggies)

- taking pooch to the beach with kids later

- and have combined that with some good ol' fish n chips for dinner from a place that sells great coffee too.

Thank you!!

What's everyone else up to today??

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Hi Their @Former-Member happy sunday funday Well no, not yet, the packet sais it takes 14 days too see some life, they have only been in 7 days so 1 week to go. i seasoled them this morning again, so i am hoping out of the 2,000 seeds i get at least 1 that will grow.

oh my that pigs face looks fantastic, is it yours? i am hoping to fill along side the foot path 1m wide 5m long each side, should look fantastic.

today, well more gardening for me, i planted another red robin shrub, and i have dug a hole for a vibertum (i think).

other than that just the weekly household cleaning.

i hope everyones sunday is going well, make sure you all treat yourself for another week of winning the MI fight.

Jacques

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Love the path idea!...unfrotunately pigs face not mine ..that sounds a bit weird but you know what I mean

That timeline makes sense, my impatience talking... I do think it's great to get our hands dirty and good for our souls too....whether its in a garden or a pot on the balcony or inside...You sound busy and productive @Jacques

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

I am going to do clean up jobs today and a bit of music. I had planned to go to concert but son had me cancel it for his need to get driven to busking but then cancelled that saying he was too tired. I know it is true .. but it is frustrating and I feel jerked around a bit .. but I am using this as a growing up lesson .. for him .. that I am available but he needs to plan and that my availability will steadily decrease as I need to get my own life. Yesterday I also told ex husband "no" to taking on his cat for 3 months. He persisted starting to enquire about my son's responsibility and ability to connect to animals. It was just more smart BS. I told him clearly not to put it on my son as my son likes cat but did not to take it on for so long and it would affect the level of conflict with our own cats.. There has been a 30 year history of blame games with this man. He likes the 'rights and responsibilities' lingo when it suits him .. but is very slippery. At least my son and I are trying to isolate issues and triggers and work through them constructively .. the reason my son is so tired so often is that he has to sift through too much of that history which started before he was even born. So I stand up for him. We are all connected but I am accepting of and learning to limit my connection with my son .. but his old man can do some growing up and stop manipulating us. Men can be manipulative too.

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Goodness Sunday flies...off for fish n chips now. @Appleblossom I hope the clean up jobs and music provided some light relief from the current challenges.

Look forward to hearing about folks' Sundays next week

Re: SUNDAY FUNDAY

Wow, that's a big area to plant, I can see why you went with seeds.

I have always loved Portulacas. When I was little I would spend hours in my garden singing to them, dead heading them and collecting the seeds ( though to what end I don't recall....).

I have a few different garden areas with different themes, but I am currently working on the front yard which I am slowly converting to a cottage style garden. I have blueberry bushes, Daphne, chrysanthemums, daisies, and lots of allyssum and lobelia planted out. Right now it isn't much to look at, but I am taking the longer term view.
