The garden and the stuntmaster

Miss 10 is healing nicely, alhamdulillah.

There’s still a lot of bruising on her gums but does not stop her from eating everything!

Tak sempat pun her tummy nak kurus!

hehehehe…

Her face on Friday, still with the ‘goatee’ and bruises on her nose.

But she’s looking much better today, on the outside anyway.

We’ve been putting pawpaw ointment on the graze on her chin so it’s healing really well.

Still a bit red semalam.

But fofular lah dia sekejap kat sekolah tu amongst her year mates and the teachers.

They are calling her the stunt master Evel Knievel now!

Hikhikhikhikhik…

Anyway, enough of our stunt daughter…

Hari ni the temperature got up to 37C and it’s going to get quite hot for the next few days.

I dont like hot weather in Oz ni cos with hot weather comes the flies.

Giler banyak nya flies! Aggghhhhhhhh!

Siapa yang pernah datang ke Oz during hot weather akan tau lah macam mana giler nya flies kat sini.

But our veges and flowers like the hot weather, especially the snakebeans and the tomatoes and the grapes.

Tiap hari, the snake beans will grow about 10cms. Seronok sangat tengok the snakebeans ni.

Adalah lebih kurang 10 pokok kot. Maulah nanti sampai tak larat we all makan kacang panjang!

Percubaan ‘memagar’ the tomato plants only after they’ve grown so big, hehehe.

A few pokok terung panjang in front of the tomatoes.

Lebanese cucumbers.

Our lettuce and basil patch but has been invaded by the mint.

Walaupun I dah cabut banyak of the mint suckers, masih lagi banyak yang tumbuh.

A bunch of grapes, still very young.

The loganberries are starting to ripen.

And the blueberries that we managed to nurse it back to moderate health from the brink of death.

Haritu memang we all sangka dah tak dapat diselamatkan lagi dah…

And this is the only edible lavender in our garden, the hidcote variety.

But still cenonet lagi and still tak berbunga lagi. Tak tau lah bila dia nak berbunga!

Tak sabar nak letak dalam cookies and cakes, hehehe…

Our row of sunflowers that we’ve staked.

On the leftmost part in the photo, next to the sunflower is the raspberry plant.

We planted the raspberry there to deter thieves from climbing through that area into our house. Raspberry ni kan banyak thorns.

Kat sebelah raspberry tu pulak pokok limau kasturi yang takkan berbuah but penuh dengan duri sebesar2 paku and tajam giler, hehehe…

And our favourite cousin, Cousin It

At least, during the weekends, tugas siram pokok diambil alih oleh The Other Half so bolehlah I berehat dari berjemur.

But on weekdays, I yang kena buat and memang sunburnt jugak lah my arms and feet walaupun bukannya lama I berdiri under the sun tu.

Kenalah I pakai krim pemutih lepas ni…

Hahahahaha…..
