G and I spent the day in Twba on Wednesday; I had some more tests and got a 5 year clearance which was great news. After leaving the hospital we visited a nursery and bought 10 trees and 2 shrubs and planted some of them when we got home.
We had a hole ready for a tree just at the end of the laneway entrance. G chose a norfolk pine. Here's the blank spot. It will be good to plot the progress of the tree/s over the next few years.
It's hard work being a labourer. Just ask me!
We also bought 3 acacias and another gum - a fast growing, bird attracting acacia for the house garden and the other 3 for shade for the turkey/duck enclosure.
Helpers!!
These are conifers, Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan', to plant as a screen/windbreak out near the tank garden. We bought 5 but should have grabbed another 1. Before we can plant these we have to remove the enormous gum tree that sits in the triangle between the house, garage and clothesline.
Then we drove to pick up some meat, deliver a vehicle and get a quote on selling mine. While we were away the weather blew up and blue and grey clouds raced quickly across the sky but we only got a few spits. It rained overnight - 7mm.
This is the little bottle tree that G dug up last weekend; we moved it to the Tree Line (ie line of trees).
