We had a visit from a 1.4M brown snake in the Chook's Mango yard that decided to go up & down the boundary line for ½ an hour before disappearing into either the neighbours Chinese Elm clump or our failing compost bin... A decision was made to pull the compost bin down & let the Chooks have at it once we determined that Mr/Miss snake had moved on...
I cut up 2 blue barrels so they can be turned into wicking barrels for the spice plants.... The Lemongrass barrel was made on Tuesday...... We pulled a clump of Lemongrass, took 3 good looking sections off to plant in the barrel & got just over a Kg to freeze & use while these guys mature.... The Galangal & Turmeric are going into Barrels & placed between the 2 lime trees in the middle of the yard..... I think the blueness will stand out but we don't really mind... They can have a makeover later if they look real bad.... The Ginger plant will be planted into a barrel & placed between the Lemon tree & Chook pen as we have read that Ginger requires a bit more shade than the others...
Some dust bath holes the Chooks made were filled in as you can see from the soil on the ground in the picture above....The decision has been made to pull down the Chook fencing as well now that they have their own smaller yards.... That's on the cards for tomorrow as well as removing the soil from the Galangal bed so it can be relocated on the weekend....
Lemongrass & other Bits picked on Tuesday.... |
That's about it until Sunday/Monday me thinks.....
Have a great one all......
