The bee movie







Finally, finally the days are growing warm and long.

We start them each morning in clean white business shirts and work pants, and end them grubby and sore.

In the garden the lettuces are bolting, the broccoli are finishing up, the leeks and onions are slowly swelling and our summer faves like basil and tomato are finally safe(ish) to be planted out.

We've been weeding and planting and mulching and staking.

We've been slashing and mowing.

And irrigating.

And I've had a bee in my bonnet about making the garden more user friendly this season and have been marking EVERYTHING!!

Speaking of bees, my farmer boy made a cute little film of us in our bee gear visiting our bees a few days ago.

Check it out.



Bee good.

  12. I wonder if you guys use different bees from us here in the US? My husband used to keep bees and he kept Carnolians and Italians? I played this video while my husband and I were lying in bed with my little babe and the jazzy music in the video made her start dancing!

  13. I love your bee movie! I can't wait to get bees in our backyard! Your garden is looking lovely! I'm really needing to get on to planting.

  14. Love the bee movie. Serious hive envy here! And love your plant markers. Wish I'd been as organised when sowing my vege seeds a few weeks ago. I was lazy and scribbled names in pen on cardboard, thinking all would be fine. Well, then the rains came and came and came. All the ink has been washed away. Now I can't tell my chillis from my capsicum and my eggplant and my Thai basil. And as for the oregano and marjoram - forget it! I guess I'll just plant out and see what happens. It could be a disaster or it could end up lots of fun. And next time, I'm stealing your plant marker idea if that's OK? :)

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.
