Well hasn’t Spring gone so fast?  With only 5 weeks left everything is coming along so well so many flowers and lots of fruit appearing on my bushes.

The zucchini bushes are producing lots of zucchinis and as I want to keep the grubs from eating them I have been picking the zucchinis young and their flavour is amazing.  I am getting green, yellow and the new round ones.

We have had some amazing tasting bananas and cant keep up to the demand for them as they ripen by themselves so its a waiting game but hopefully we will have more coming along quickly now Summer is coming.

Clay Hole

This month we purchased a small excavator that we are going to use to drill the holes for all our plants but mainly the Tagasaste seedlings.  As our properties soil is clay we either have to lay other soil over the ground or drill holes and put the new soil into the holes.  When hand digging the holes for the Tagasaste seedlings we could only manage 10 holes a day on a good day but I am happy to say that in 2 half days we were able to dig 60 holes with the excavator. Win win situation for us.

The plants on the vine structure  are all doing well and are weaving their way slowly up.  I have realised that I planted the Halloween pumpkins out probably a month too late as they are now only just starting to produce.  I will leave them growing and take note as to how long they take to be fully grown.

Sugar and Lexi becoming friends (sort of lol)

The real exciting news for this blog is that we purchased two more cows and another bull.  I would like to introduce Amanda, Lexi and Joey.  We had not intended to buy these lovelies but poor little Bert hurt his foot from what we expect was a mating gone wrong so with him in confinement we realised that he wouldn’t be capable of breeding for at least another year and it was just pure coincidence that we learnt of the sale of  Amanda, Lexi and Joey with Amanda and Lexi already pregnant from being mated with Joey.  Bert will soon be moving back in with the others but for now he is being a good boy and doing well with his continuing halter training.
