Amazing how fast time goes. I think things are finally starting to come together, we've been doing just enough of everything to keep things running and then moving to the next project. We're just beginning to go back and improve those hastily put together projects. We still have so much to do, we need many, many more buildings and fences, there is still a lot of soil improving to be done and much tidying up, not sure we'll ever really finish but we're progressing. I can even see a day in the future when we have stairs to the bedroom and walls and windows as well.
The vegetable garden has been good and bad this season, much more organised but the heat has really slowed things down. We are picking tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, squash, mangelwurzels, beetroot, cucumbers, capsicum, silverbeet and herbs. Corn although planted quite late is growing inches a day. Everything else is struggling. We will start sowing autumn crops over the next month and hopefully they should do well as the weather cools. Our little Dexters are not so little anymore and we are hoping for calves any day now..... Fresh milk, homemade butter, yoghurt, cheese and cream...... LOVELY. The pantry is usable (although it still needs two walls and a door) and it's wonderful to have somewhere to put all my jars. We should have the hallway and laundry floors finished in the next week or so, it's ready to pour we just need a day when our backs are up to the challenge. I really have to take more pics and post more often.... Patricia.
