Well into June already

Amazing how quickly time is flying by. Yes we all have the same number of hours in the day, so I suppose it depends what we are trying to do. 

We put a lot of effort into our vegie garden, with a new bed planted this week, and one on the way near it.  The seedlings in our existing beds are coming on, exciting to see the turnips forming, the first time I've tried them. I've had masses of kohlrabi seedlings, I've given away as many as I can, and still more than I can use in the garden.

A regular daily salad for us from our garden includes lettuce, kale, rocket, silverbeet, radish, bell chilli, kankong, oregano, parsley, rosemary, basil, shallot, garlic chives and nasturtium leaves and flowers.  Also we are regularly getting three eggs a day from our three laying pulllets.  Barry has made their feed and water automatic so that we can still get away sometimes, with the help of a friend offering to call in on them.

We've also got involved in our local community garden, and I've taken on producing a newsletter each month. I've just put what we have so far, March to June, on a blog, so that we can link them to the Facebook site as they are issued in the future.

It is good to be able to share any excess seedlings, and also help with the herb garden.

We had our local festival recently, and the main street of our country town was transformed for the main day, and lots of activities during the week, orchid show, crafts, many groups having a special event.

We've continued with the concerts, including a special one for Biggest Morning Tea which raises money for cancer research. They made an extraordinary effort with the setup and glorious food, but I didn't think to take my camera.

Barry led worship at a recent close friend share group, at a couple of hours notice, and this was one of the old favourites we sang, though we like to sing it more slowly and reverently.

Blessings,
Jan
