I have definitely made the most of my week off work and can see light at the end of the tunnel. During the week I have potted up my tomatoes (there is more than what is in the pic) possibly a bit to early but they seem to have transplanted well. I gave them a soaking in the secret sauce (mycorrcin), there is a mix of heirloom tomatoes, Roma, mortgage lifter, sweet 100 and Black Krim. I have plans to give away some of them to my family and I will have to check with my neighbour if she would like some (she has a beautiful home built green house). Still digging out those pesky but handy stones, 1-2 wheelbarrows a day. I gave up waiting for my parsnip to come through, as I think the seed was too old to do much. I weeded and re-seeded the bed with some fresher parsnip seeds and hopefully it's a bit warmer for germination. Only have to wait nearly 3 weeks to see if it worked hahahaha. Think my highlight for this week will be the delivery of a water tank that I had ordered at the field days event, which I think was in March. Today I dug out around the post, got the car jack and jacked the fence out to make room for the tank to enter into its forever home paddock. I still need to work out how much sand I need to place the tank on and also how to get it there after it's all set up. Another thing I'm looking forward to is doing a market garden class this coming weekend. Things are starting to fall into place and I must admit I'm excited, nervous and stressed at the same time lol.
