Weekend gardening

This weekend we headed downtown to go to the Farmers Market. Local produce includes blueberries, tomatoes, zucchini, cantaloupe, butter beans, cucumbers and okra. Of course we stocked up on blueberries! Unfortunately like the last 2 times we have been we got there too late to get organic eggs - all sold out. We had lunch at a cafe on Front St and then icecream from Kilwins. Lucy loved the 'Georgia peach' but wasn't allowed any of the 'turtle' fudge we picked up.


Back at home we did some gardening! Outside Lucy's window was a large 'tree' which a gardener told me was actually a weed. I was in two minds about whether to get rid of it or not but the plant made the choice by collapsing in half on Friday. So we got rid of it on Friday night and prepared a space for a crape myrtle 'tonto'. Around the front we started clearing some space to discover two large unremovable tree stumps! Feels like we are back in Sydney! So we planted our anise shrubs around the stumps. By the way, the crape (crepe) myrtles are in flower at the moment and it seems that they are everywhere. It looks awesome and the range of colours is vast from white to pink to purple to red. April is azalea month, July is crape myrtle month.


On Sunday we had a 'potluck' lunch after church so that we got to catch up with a few people. Then back at home Lucy played in her pool launching herself in belly first.
