    We have been very lucky to have a little bit of rain over the past few weeks. Not a lot mind you, but just a little…Enough for all those horrid little weeds to try and take over, thats for sure! So I have been busy trying to keep up with weeding the garden.

    Wow!! A barrow load full of ‘em. We have a real problem with kikuyu, which is a tenacious little weed that spreads by underground rhizomes. It literally takes hold of the soil wherever it grows and can become a real nuisance. We also have all the other standard weeds, capeweed, chickweed, dandelion.. If I was a gourmet cook I could whip up a lovely wild weed pie no problems :)

    On a much lovelier note, I want to share with you a pic of my beautiful pansies. They are sitting on our front verandah in lovely green glazed pots. Our verandah is made from wood pallets…thats another story for another time. I did say we were owner builders!
