Posted

Well I have started to prepare the ground for the cement.

All by myself. hard work you know

 

okay my first photo.

This is where I started to clear away and level the ground. It goes over about

4 feet to the right where you see Gregs Broad beans growing and my lucerne. They need to go and he said NO. But they are :rolleyes:

My exiting birdroom is to the left.

That has got to be some hot, hard work, Splat!

 

What are those poles just to the left of the beans, will they be in your way?

 

And by the way, just what is a "broad bean"? If it's anything like a Lima bean, then I agree, worst vegetable ever! :rofl: (Also, what are "chokoes"?)

Yes Finnie the poles have to go but the closest one is cemented in, I couldn't pull pull but Greg did last night.

Broad beans are yuk thye are a big round type of pea thing, disgusting make me sick :rofl:

Chockos are

a big green oval type vege with spikes all over it. they are tasteless, they are a waste of space.

Greg has decided not to gro thwm anymore as he doesn't like them much either. He cooked one this year by boiling it

and my god it tasted like rotten socks :rofl:

Last year he set the vine on fire to get rid of it but the silly things grew again this year.

Rotten Socks?! Why would anyone grow such a vegetable? I don't think we have those over here.

 

I'm glad Greg could get the pole out for you. There are just certain jobs that I way prefer my husband to use his muscles on, than to try it with mine, and kill my back, and still have no effect. :(

Worked on it yesterday for a while, got really angry because the lucerne is deep rooted, I couldn't dig it out or pull it or anything it was so hard and the puppy kept getting in the way so got annoyed.

BUT I have done most of it.

Aready to lay down some packing soil.

BUT the rain has come again. aggrhh

Nice Choko Splat, for those of you who don't enjoy cooking, Chokos are great in curries as they take on the curry flavor. Splat gave me some this year and they were yummy although I didn't get to eat the whole bag full. Cheers Clearwing

:) is that what you do with them, glad you enjoyed CW :(

I would choke on a choko :)

 

 

the way I see it......

 

any vegetable that órrible that you have to go to great lengths to disguise the flavour by cooking with other things isnt worth it. You may as well eat polystyrene :(

 

They're all yours CW :rofl:

 

PS Great job on the slab prep Splat ....its hard work.

Did a bit more work late his arvo. :( But I need Greg to dig out some more lucerne because I can't.

Jake was much better behaved this arvo too as I turned my back on him heaps, I think he is learning, I am a cranky old

so and so, I even told Greg off for letting Jake jump up on him after me growling at Jake all day. :)

I am so annoyed today. Because I was going to get the packing sand delivered, BUT Greg said I will get it Sat morning, well I am waiting patently and he decides to paint the bathroom first then he dicides to go get i t at 11.00 well it was closed :lol: Anyway at one a clock were saw the guy come back and he was in there with his loader and all BUT NO Greg had to wash is car first and then he decided to go get it but of caurse Daryl was gone again. SO NO PACKING SAND aggrrh

Slack men I don't know ;)

I wanted the sand put down this weekend and cement next weekend. So annoying ;)

I must say Splat........you have not got that man very well trained at all ..................methinks he needs a wake up call as his priorities are all out of whack. ;)
