Baby things …..

Underneath these feathered beauties (otherwise know as Lara and Cinderella) six eggs are due to hatch this  Saturday.  The girls have been dutifully sitting on them for three weeks – you can’t prise them off this nest!    There will be some screams of excitement around here when we/if we get to see some fluffy yellow chickadees – and that’s just from me.

Baby cucumbers are waiting.  Slowly growing and getting bigger.  Waiting for the salad bowl.

 Green Zuchinnis are flourishing.   I’ve had to start grating and freezing them for us another day.

 Beautiful fresh peas in a pod.    The girls tell me they pop up for a feed if I say ‘no’ to snacks.  Music to a mummy’s ears!

 Strawberries  slowly ripen in the sunshine.

 I’m impatiently waiting for these babies to turn red.  Fresh grown tomato sandwiches – get in my belly!

Fabulous yellow zuchinnis.  They make any stir fry magical.

My mouth is salivating at the sight of those gorgeous fruits and veges in your weedless garden. I am so glad you got to have a break from the kids and time to yourself as well this last week.

Hey Shez, my pleasure to. I just grate them up using my food processor (but you could easily do it by hand) and freeze them by the cup full (marking how many cups) on a snap lock bag. When you unfreeze it you may need to squeeze some excess water out. Perfect for Z bread or Z slices :) I hate one grated this morning with an egg omelette. Yummo.

wow! your hens are gorgeous!!!!!
We had something terrible happen to our favourite girl the other day (she has already survived so many things) … and thankfully it seems she is going to pull through again. Fingers crossed.

Your garden looks gorgeous! We have vegies growing too but yours looks so organised and tidy!

Love the freshness of this blog post .. new life :

xoxo Carly

Thanks Carly – glad to hear your ‘girl’ is okay. They make such good pets. My real girls love picking them up and playing with them – the lovely eggs are just a bonus.

Oh such gorgeous photos. I would love to have a garden like that. We are getting there, very, very slowly.

Make sure you post photos of the cute little chickadees!
