The last couple of weekends have proven to be quite productive around the house. Besides cleaning, which always seems to take up a big chunk of my spare weekend time, I've started a vegetable garden. I've never been successful in getting anything to grow (even herbs) so this will prove interesting. Then again, I've never had a garden to plant anything in either.
This little guy here is an onion. After finding an onion sprouting in the bottom of the cupboard, I decided to plant it to see how it would go. After spending two weeks in a pot the little guy sprouted quite quickly so I decided to move him into his new home. At the moment he doesn't seem to be doing too well, but I did find a couple of new shoots today so fingers crossed. I've also planted carrots and in the next few weeks will attempt snow peas and spinach. That green foliage you see at the back is mint. Damn stuff has taken over the whole garden. Not my doing.
This beautiful flower is from a tree at the front of our yard. I'm not sure what it's called but we never have to water it, which is fine by me.
Saturday morning I was in the mood for an epic 1000 kcal workout so the husband and I decided to go for a morning climb up Mt Tibrogargan. It took us 1 hr up and another 45 mins down but we've done it much quicker before. Will have to try and beat our time next trip.
Such a rewarding view at the top. Makes the sweat and possibility of dying if you freak out while climbing worth it.
After our morning climb we headed down south to the inlaws who have a bit of land to go around. 47 acres to be exact. Much wine, cheese and toasted marshmellows to be had.
All in all a good weekend. Bring on the next couple of weeks where I will be working 14 days straight.
