Morning work: planting zucchini and papaya
here was a bed before, under a permaculture chook hoop.
we planted 8 plants around 2/3 of the hoop.
At lunch I got some computer time in. Lunch is simple. Usually a piece of fresh bread and peanut butter for me…Marmite and jam for Alec…veggie wrap for Molly.
Afternoon: First a stop at the pond. This is where Alec and Molly took a swim yesterday, but today Molly and I were just soaking our legs.
Alec is NOT about to jump in...he still has on his shorts.
tadpoles in the pond.
Afternoon work: raking the kikyu. Kikyu is a grass that has a root system like Bermuda grass and grows to be very tall. Easily waist-high, everywhere.

Alec took an industrial weed whacker and whacked a lot of it down. My task was to rake it into mounds for pick-up later; there is only one rake.
The raking begins...
A successful pile is formed...but the rain the next day didn't allow us time to pick it up
And after dinner, there was a great sunset. Molly took pictures. No comments needed.
After dark we visited the Glow-worm hang-out. This is Molly’s picture.

I loved that sunset picture. It was unearthly!
