Lisa From Tasmania Shares Her Garden Photos With Us

One of our favorite readers, Lisa from Tasmania is checking in and her garden pictures and with all the cold weather we’ve been having, well, it just brightened my day.

{New around here? Catch up on more of Lisa’s posts HERE}.

Hi Mavis!

The garden is slowly slowly coming good – the weather won’t remain consistently warm/hot to really get things moving.
I picked the first raspberry the other day. I need to go down and see if any others are ready for my consumption! 🙂
Snow peas are getting more and more plentiful and the lettuce is amazing. I have been really lucky – My friend Mavis let me put my lettuce on her market stall as I really don’t have enough stuff for my own stall yet. So far the lettuce have pulled their weight and made me $28 !! I have planted more seed to get more of them growing – since they seemed so popular!

My lovely big potato patch is growing well… we even bandicooted a few early ones the other day – I have been missing new potatoes on the dinner plate badly!!

I have tomato plants everywhere – hoping to sell lots of the excess, (you know, if they get around to producing actual tomatoes) but I need to stock up on relish & sauces soon!
Been happily picking a good bowl full of strawberries every second day!

Getting rather fond of fresh strawberry milkshakes!! 🙂

I am also just wrapping up another 10 day photo-challenge that I do via facebook. It’s been fun watching the photos roll in every day with everyone’s interpretations of the subject.

One of the subjects was ‘sign/s’ That explains the crop circle photo. 🙂 A sign we are not alone in the universe?? I think the aliens were amateurs tho – its a bit dodgy. Pretty hilarious ringing the farmer to ask if I could do a crop circle in his paddock!!! There was a rather long confused silence at first!!

THEN there was the moment to convince Jeff just how much FUN dragging a ladder, boards and ropes etc over the fence and across two paddocks to strap a couple of planks on his feet to tromp around and around would be!!

I married well. 🙂 🙂
Never dull around here anyway.

We still get out for walks when we can and sometimes the local possums visit.
The days are long now – I am loving it. I reckon its soon time to get the kayaks off the shed roof and get back to paddling up the river! Can’t wait.
