ReplyDeleteHello......
DeleteMerle.................
I wish someone would turn the camera on me. I am always the one taking the photos, never being in them. Yes, a vege garden.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and reasonable no one wanted to take photos of me now i'm old and interesting I'm in all the photos.
DeleteMerle.....
Perhaps they know you a bit blog famous.
DeleteWhat a lot of work. Wish I could easily lend you three kids.
ReplyDeleteKookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the wood is he...
We sang that when I was a kid. I thought a kookaburra was a kind of little koala. Now I must google up its song.
They are part of the kingfisher family, and eat meat and insects, my niece feeds four that come in everyday, she lives in the country but in the city they are rare so I get a kick out of seeing them.
DeleteI need the exercise but it will be a long process, Julie across the road offered to help.
Merle..................
I thought Kokkaburra sat in the old gum tree not a TV aerial!
ReplyDeleteShifting soil is not fun.Have you noticed that by some weird quirk of physics that each load gets heavier?
Jane x
We do have a old gum tree a few houses up and he spends a lot of time there but you can't see him so he has to come down to the TV aerial to be admired.
DeleteIt is heavy stuff.
Merle........
You work too hard!
ReplyDeletePearl
I have lots of rests.
DeleteMerle......
2 ton is a LOT. I can verify that. I did one ton and did myself in. Good work girl.
ReplyDeleteOne ton is mine the other is the beer fairies he has to move that.
DeleteMerle........
My, you are courageous! Did the beer faerie finally get the hint? (I hate photos, mine that is!)
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard!
Don't worry he will help .
DeleteMerle.....
Love it. I have discovered over the years that the blood, sweat and tears (mine) which go into the garden are worth it. By the time things bloom the exertion is a memory. Either that or I am a slow learner.
ReplyDeleteThat soil looked wonderful. Yay.
I was pleased with it, I could have got free stuff but that is just fill that has been dug out of construction sites this is rich and dark and no bad smells.
ReplyDeleteI love my garden and am happy to put work into it, you always get rewards.
Merle...............
If I knew where to put it, I'd use the old bathtub that's stashed in a storage/junk/dump room close to my flat. But the gardens are so full here. it would make a great herb/mini veg garden.
ReplyDeleteThe soil looks lovely and rich.
When I lived in a flat i had a garden on my balcony but I don't think it was allowed as time went on, they sold the flats and the new owners wanted the balconies kept clear.
DeleteMerle............
You're a sport! That is a lot of work. Hope that you got some help after the camera time. Usually it's the other way around here.
ReplyDeleteNo but he has cooked dinner the last two days.
DeleteMerle...
This must be exactly why I don't have much of a garden! Haha! SO many nice visits from you! Thanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteMy garden not to big but we spend a lot of time there so it's worth the work.
DeleteMerle.......
You did all the work!
ReplyDeleteI do all the work in my garden too.
We lost our dog a week ago (it is still hard), but our son's 2 cats are trying to comfort us. They were always cautious of "the beast" which is what we think they referred to her as. They quickly realized the beast was gone and have taken over. One of the cats now sleeps on top of us at night.
You said kookaburra. Where do you live?
I quite like to do things, I only do a bit at a time. The body get sore quicker these days.
Deleteit's sad when you lose a pet but cats move in very quickly they don't let any opportunity slip by. I still miss my Peaches, she was a german shepherd.
I live in Sydney, Australia.
Merle....................................
That looks like a big job! Isn't it fall there? So, you're getting ready for planting next Spring? I'm wondering why the guy holding the camera didn't pitch in and help you with the hard stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe are half way into winter, spring starts in september so I'm trying to get things ready for then.
DeleteThe fellow with the camera has a ear problem and is a bit wobbley on his feet not to mention pretty deaf at this time, don't worry I will get some work out of him when he is better.
Merle........
Your garden will be very nice when it is done! Did your beer fairie help after the photos were taken? Your kitties are cuties! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe beer fairy has an ear infection and is a bit on the dizzy side so he can't bend down at the moment, he will fall over so he has to do some jobs when he is better.
DeleteMerle................
What a lot of hard work! I can't imagine doing any of that these days! Maybe it's this heat we're having in the UK, making me give up trying to move! ;) Well done, it's going to look amazing when you're done.xx
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get as much done as I can before our summer hits so I can I can sit and relax in the cool.
DeleteMerle..........
...Hi Merle.... sorry I didn't leave a comment when I read this post..... don't know why that happened..... think I'm getting old and forgetful, hehehe....
ReplyDeleteI love that you're laughing while shovelling and wheeling the soil around...... bet that didn't last long.... it's hard work.....
WELL DONE...
Hugs... Barb ... xxx
