The cold southerly has finely gone and Saturday dawned damp but warm...so we dodged showers and got out and did some much needed weeding in the vege patch...dug up the first of our spuds (delicious too...the boys went back for 2nd and third helpings tonight lol!)
The weather even lured a rather crusty old hedgehog out for a snack and Joseph eagerly helped him stock up with a big pile of worms from the vege patch which Mr Prickles gratefully munched and crunched and slurped away on lol! disgusting...but nice to see the poor fella get a good feed before he waddled off back into the undergrowth!!
Then it was into the front garden for some tidying up...we are sticking with a tropical theme...loving lots of big leaves and foliage with the odd bright splashes of colour (well there will be come summer!) We are working on mulching all the beds with wood chip at the moment.
with the odd game of wheelbarrow the kids down the steps thrown in for a bit of light relief in between lol!
Hmmm....yes....an open window....
Peek-a-boo Bum bum....now get your gumboots on and come outside and play...
Pthwaaatththppppssspppwwp!!! yup the master of the wet Raspberry strikes again!!
Raining again so back inside for a spot of painting! Flowers of course lol!!
Sunday morning....sunshine woohoo....happy dance....
We got stuck into tidying up under the Avocado tree...creating a little bit of hard landscaping to put the picnic table on....a nice place to sit in the summer with a glass of wine!
Joseph smooths out the gravel...while Samuel gets stuck into offloading it into the barrow...
and finally after a bit of hard yakka by everybody its done!! ...Of course we had to try it out and test whether drinking wine there would be a good thing to do or not....it is....roll on Summer!!!

Looks like you really made the most of the weekend! Your garden looks great (wanna come round here and fix mine up? LOL) and I do like your little "wine-drinking" area. Very nice!
I'm so envious of your avocado tree - not the wine in summer LOL. I miss one we had in Aklnd. All your gardening looks fantastic.
what a beautiful spot for a picnic table Meek. I love what you are doing to the place. I am planning on getting my hands dirty and creating a small veggie garden.....Loving reading the NZ gardener mag and feel inspired to give it a go.
You have a gorgeous property Meek!!
Cute and oh-so funnny photos of your boy!!
