Woke up before 7am, made coffee, Dave watered the plants, I composted the rest of the tomatoes as well as the eggplants and some small pepper plants. Then I started spraying the tomatoes with pyretrin and did a baking soda spray on the butternuts, pumpkins, cucumbers and watermelons to avoid more powdery mildew. Dave played his guitar and fixed the pump while I worked on the blog. After we finished these little projects, I started mowing the grass around the garden so we would have mulch for our veggies. I finished this up and using the pick axe, started pulling some of the grass/ weeds away from the kumara, watermelon and eggplant bed, composted the eggplants and then mulched all the veggies with grass clippings. While I was doing this, Dave started working on making a screen door for the caravan. This is super awesome of him!!! It means that we will have more of a breeze in the caravan, which will be sweet!!!
I went up to the house to do a load of laundry, shower and post some pics and blog entries. When I came back, I finished raking up my mess from weeding and Dave was almost finished with the screen door. Woo-hoo!!! He finished that while I raked some more in the yard and then we got on our bikes. We went for a ride to the beach, warmed up in the sun and took a swim. After jumping in some pretty big waves, we headed home to make some dinner. Dave had the brilliant idea of making small zucchini fritters and using them instead of meatballs in our pasta with tomatoes. It was delish!
He played guitar and we went to bed early. ☺
