Busy Saturday

Finally, we managed to spend time together in the garden today.

Tak pernah2 Miss 13 berminat nak jenguk ke kebun, tadi dia volunteer dipaksa lembut untuk menolong Dad dia membuat trellis.

And then lepas dah siap buat trellis, tetiba dia kata dia nak tolong I petik grapes pulak

Torkojut i!

Hahahaha…

I told her bukan nya nak petik grapes untuk dimakan since dah tak banyak grapes yang boleh makan, cuma nak prune off all the grapes masuk compost aje.

But she still did it happily .

But, seperti biasa, pagi Sabtu will be spent at Bunnings cari entah hapa2 benda, hehehe.

I suka lepak kat aisle ni kat Bunnings..

I suka berdiri depan all the seed packets sambil tengok seeds apa yang best untuk ditanam…

And then, I suka pergi the outdoor nursery area tengok all the fruit trees, flower seedlings and the vege seedlings.

Ada banyak aisles yang penuh dengan all these seedlings. Memang rambang mata!

Tu sebab kalau pergi Bunnings, surenya akan terlajak berjam2 walaupun not in the plan, hehehehe.

Tadi, I pergi beli some more mini lebanese cucumber seedlings sebab nak ganti yang dah mati kat kebun tu.

Balik from Bunnings, terus lah buat kerja2 dapur and kerja2 kebun….

Twngok lah our vege patch ni.

We’ve pulled out the zucchinis and the tomatoes and the sunflowers and the cucumbers and some of the asian greens.

Terus jadi gondol, hehehe.

Yang tinggal cuma kacang panjang, terung (yang masih lagi belum berbuah!), kale and bok choy.

I dah tanam the mini lebanese cucumbers yang I beli tadi kat tempat sunflowers tu.

The Other Half cabut one of the trellises untuk betulkan the strings.

But this time he used his new gadget yang dia baru aje beli kat Bunnings tu, the staple gun.

So, senang sikit nak lekatkan the strings to the poles, just by stapling them.

Kalau tak, I lah dulu yang susah payah ikat tali tu kat every point, penat!

Dah siap the trellis, he put it in the vege patch and I pun tanam anak kacang panjang and anak timun yang we all semai 2 weeks ago.

The Other Half nak letak strings across the top connecting both trellis so bila kacang panjang tu menjalar, dia boleh menjalar from 1 trellis to the other.

Tapi, banyak sangat pulak paper wasps kat area kacang panjang tu so esok2 lah dia sambung sebab takut kena sting, hehehe.

Miss 9 pulak, tugas dia tadi siram and fertilise all the tanaman.

Bersungguh2 dia buat….

UV index was quite high today so tu yang dia pakai topi, pakai sunnies and pakai sunscreen lotion jugak walaupun cuma untuk keluar siram pokok .

And for dinner tadi, I made ciabatta (which is a rustic chewy italian bread) and pizza.

We had the ciabatta with dukkah and olive oil again while the girls ate it with butter.

It’s supposed to have all the holes in the bread.

Kalau takde the holes, tak jadi lah your ciabatta, hehehe.

And yang paling best, bakar dalam wood-fired oven tapi since we all takde wood-fired oven, we all just guna pizza stone in the oven aje.

I malas nak roll the pizza nicely so I just penyek2 guna jari aje so tu yang shape dia tak berapa bulat .

And I bakar the pizzas on the pizza stone as well, tu yang lagi lah rustic rupanya, hehehehe.
