seeds

finally I have sown my seeds for spring....

I have discovered the most delightful thing, The Boss is growing peas this year - 12 acres of them, all for seeds but we get to glean the fields. The whole office is very excited about this. We have already started sharing our favourite fresh pea recipes and the winner is.......

straight out of the pod.

But just in case I've sown my own easy peasy peas (even veges channel Jo Seagar)

directly into the garden

and cucumbers, capsicum and more peas

(as a back up for the garden sown peas - can't have too many fresh peas, ever).

Seed trays are filled and sitting my bedroom bay window soon to be filled with wee plants ready for planting after Show Weekend and devoured by Christmas.

I've just put sweet peas out to soak and soften to be planted with the express purpose of hiding my ugly wall.

The great thing about doing all this planting is by next year I will have forgotten what I planted and where and they be growing all over the place in a wonderfully wild mess.

Like these California poppies that I have no recollection of planting
And now a quizzical photo from Clary

and Penelope Darling who, I believe is peeing in this photo.

Clary was about to defend her honour no doubt.

Oh and as I was cooking dinner this evening, a wee earthquake to keep us on our toes.
