RETURN OF DA GOATS!!

the goats want to come back, dog isn't happy! :-)

DA GOATS ARE IN DA HOUSE!!!

Had fun making a little video today, and the goats had HEAPS of fun. I think they'll be up for making some more. Have a few interesting locations lined up for the next ones. Have stayed up WAY too late working on this video though. Short - but very time consuming....

Haven't done anything major in the garden recently, psyching myself up for the next onslaught. THE PLAN....is to start the next phase of my gardening, and plant all the seeds I've been collecting. Been cleaning up my little courtyard, which got a bit messy inn the process of making guinea pig cages there. It will be my nursery next.

Have collected about a million pots of all shapes and sizes (Ok am exaggerating, but only a little, I have heaps!) want to grow my veges in little pots and take them to the farmers market to sell. the ones that don't sell can just keep on growing :-). Time to start serious food production.

The two plum trees that I planted a few months ago are sprouting leaves, and even a few blossons, might be some plums this year? Still planting the last of my bulbs, got at least a hundred still to go. Planted about 40 in the last week.

Passionfruit, grapes and guinea pigs :-)

I have had an idea that I may not be able to realise for a while, but if I write it down, it may happen a bit quicker than if it just floats around in my brain. I had always planned to create Guinea pig enclosures. I have an abundance of deer netting that I bought off someone on trademe, lying around. I used it to fence my back yard but still have plenty left. Anyway, I had planned to have an enclosure around the feojoa trees, its a difficult area to mow, and they will help with weed control etc. Now I've realsed that the area alongside the driveway is also awkward to mow, and would suit an enclosure. I realised that this area would be perfect for growing grapes and passionfruit vines, especially if I put wind netting around the outside. I can grow the vines under the roof of the enclosure, where they will get plenty of sun. and the guinea pigs would run around underneath eating the grass and "composting". eventually I would like to have a few large enclosed areas for the guinea pigs where thay can run around freely, while protected from the cats and the weather.
