A Couple of Movies

Here are a couple of movies I took the other day when we were kite boarding down at the Heath Park. They are on youtube so you can check them out;


Me Kiteing; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILnSUGnVu8

Go have a look.

Thinking inside the box

It is a nice sunny day with no wind so today I felt a bit creative. As I could not in and fly my fantastic new kite I decided to become a bit creative. There used to be a rather sad looking piece of dirt next to the paving, so I decided to build a raised garden bed to plant some autumn plants in. First stop was the hardware where I got some lengths of decking for the sides, some posts for stakes and some screws for holding it all together. So I cut a couple of stakes and bashed them in before cutting and screwing the timber sides into position. I lastly made a final piece to in on the rear to keep the fist away from the neighbours walk before finally filling with dirt from the old potatoe sacks. Done and dusted. Now just need to plant.

Funky red tomato.

The second variety of tomatoes have started to ripen! They are a bit slower than the other variety but they are a bit larger and longer and I think that they will taste a bit better than the other ones. I am glad that they have finall started to ripen as the weather has already started to get a bit cooler, I thought that they would run out of time.

Second potatoe harvest

It was not as good as the first harvest but we got 10 potatoes from 2. I think that the small potatoes that I planted must not have grown at all. But we still got some Mighty potatoes. Next crop will be the onions.
