Too true Candee, re the 'green and lush' part. It is the same here. I netted my veges the first year, when I had a very tidy square patch, but now its a bit haphazard, and things self seed, so I'm never sure where to net exactly. The idea is that if we plant brocolli, cabbage and cauli's in April, the cabbage butterflies aren't active anymore, but because of the warm, wet conditions, they are still fluttering around making babies!
I will have to net the fig this year, as one or two got eaten by birds, and once they know where theres a source of food, they'll be back! I would really like to start again, with a raised bed just outside the lounge window. I'll take a pic and show you why, but hubby probably won't be in it! He likes to park things there at times. See, its nice and flat and sunny!
Yes, I remember the fire pit at the cabin. What a blast that was. I've never laughed so hard! The pictures were great!
Teresa, did you take the 'mations on your walk? Of course you did! I'm glad you had a break in the weather. We do actually get some sunshine too, its just patchy and you never can be sure what to wear.
