Thursday this week was a very full day. The morning started with some work in the garden after breakfast. With Brendans help we first dug out an extra sink pit for excess rain water, which when finished became the short entrance to the garden table area.
That done we then cleared the pile of rubble that has sat for far too long in the yard. Shoveling it all onto the truck we then took it up to our land.
Not surprisingly, after all the recent rain, the way down to our land was, once again, overgrown. So whilst Brendan and the boys shoveled rubble into our cart, I went ahead with the strimmer to clear a path down.
We hope to get down to start preparing our land for growing vegetables next week.
Once that job was completed it was back to the house to get ready for lunch before the next activity.
Around the borders of our site you can see many small wickered ‘fences’ like these which mark where he has planted pumpkin and marrows.
The aim is that eventually the revenue from these boxes may cover the basic running costs of the home.
We hope to purchase a net this weekend and Boonma is possibly going to make us a basketball hoop very soon.
