There is always plenty happening at Mt Tiger Llamas.
A mild morning after all the wet weather pulled us outside in spite of periods of drizzle. The Yacon are planted in the orchard along with some sorrel and irises, all protected from rabbits with netting. Apparently rabbits love them. Abyssinian banana pups for mulch...
It is still incredibly wet and windy. Serious garden planning needed as there has already been a fair amount of storm damage. So evolving plan is to plant closer together, really densely, and stake and tie firmly. I can see that some of the tender new rose branches...
Clary carefully put all her toys in her bed and then discovered that Sorrel was there too, they are good at sharing. Dinner last night worked out well in spite of being so experimental. And we got some gorgeous strawberries as well as plants from the market....
It was so windy when I took the dogs out this morning that I had trouble holding my phone while taking photos. Clary kept lying down to get some respite. The lichen on the old totara fence posts was waving around like washing. I didn’t do much weeding today....
A kereru flew right through the house when I had both lots of french doors open yesterday. No birds have flown into any of the doors or windows yet so probably a good reason to let them stay dirty. It is so wet the grass looks intensely green. No llamas this morning,...
Our three big kauri trees for which we named the property are doing well in spite of being out in the open. They are probably the grandmothers, mothers and aunties of the grove on the way to the creek. In the early evening Brocky caught his first rabbit! He was so...
When we go for walks Mr Brock checks out every hole and hollow tree stump. Maybe he can smell possums or rabbits, he is certainly very keen and training Clary to have a good look too. We found a number of holes today but nothing very exciting in any of them. I am...
After a slow start and three zoom meetings later I feel a bit unmotivated today. My gardening gloves are wet and the mulch is sodden after last nights rain. Two barrow loads felt like a huge effort. The fire for the hot tub did not want to light, it took me three goes...
We walked, scrambled would be a better description, down to the creek this morning and managed to get a good walk in before the rain came through. It is such a magical place. I almost had a nasty fall backwards into the water when a punga I was gripping gave way....
