Good Morning,
Another bright sunny day here and I have been out weeding the garden before it gets to hot. This time of the year the weeds are very hard to control as we have been getting a bit of rain in the storms so that and the heat and we have weeds popping up everywhere. I still have to water my gardens as the winds start up around 7am every morning and they soon dry out the garden beds even though I have mulch. I am lucky in that I have tanks and catch the rain water.
I bought some parrot nectar type food and have set up a feeding station next to the birdbath. I have a small Bottle tree and a couple of May bushes in this strip of the garden and the parrots - Lorikeets and Green Scaly Breasts are in and out throught out the day. I love watching them as both types are very bossy little birds and they squabble amongst themselves all the time. So comical to watch. I can do this now as Berny would never let a bird come into the yard before.
We had a pleasant morning at Mulgowie Markets on Saturday. It was just an average one as far as sales went as I guess most people have finished their christmas shopping but it was lovely seeing everyone and chatting to them.
I even bought a new tree as my butterfly tree ( buddleah not sure how to spell it) has gone to god. Poor thing was root bound in the pot when I planted and even though I undid as much as I could of the roots it stayed in a circle and only one root escaped but it grew along the ground not down into it. Anyway it is now being replaced with a Chaste tree as I just loved the mauvy blue flowers so here is hoping I can dig the hole big enough and it does well when I plant it.
Not much going on in the soap room this week. I am just labelling and wrapping soaps that are ready or making lotions and potions if they are to low in the stock count.
Don't forget that we do not do Markets in January and February as it is way to hot for the cremes and balms they get very runny plus I almost melt so we stay home but online is still available and we do free delivery. I usually do some testing of new products during this time so if there is anything you would like me to make up just pm and I will do some research and let you know about it.
Well I guess that is all for my ramble today so be kind to each other and stay well until next time I do a Ramble.
Blessings
