Yet more cattle work ...

Started the day as normal feeding the two little .. well not so little ... calves. Realised the mob and the bull were coming back down through the bush. John quickly got some hay to lead them into their favourite paddock. Managed to get the two late calves and their mothers back with the herd also. Happy with this arrangement even though it is unexpected. We have yet to see this bull working and it will be easier to keep an eye on things if they are closer to home.
After a cuppa we went over to the cottage to rake over the extra piles of mulch and to plant a few plants. Last year I potted up some cuttings for the Molyullah Easter Sports. It was cancelled and it is pretty doubtful that 2021 will go ahead so I need to get them in the ground. We hope to get some native ground covers and low shrubs also to provide some nice habitat for the birds (and hopefully to cut down on the weeding). We had a lot of native iris’s over so John divided them up and put in another row.
We are moving the screen at the back of the veggie patch as we couldn’t get around the back of the beds. John put in a string line and I sprayed where we will put a gravel path inside the screen. It might take a while but we are a little further along in the process!
The roses are great this year - the deer and wallabies have enough to eat in the bush so have left them alone.もっと詳しく
