Green Cone


This week we sited our new Green Cone food waste digester system. It will take all the food scraps that cannot go into the compost bins. It should be a good time to get it up and running as it works best in the sunshine.
Our wildflower strip is getting better each year, the cowslips have been done very well this Spring and we hope to have a good mixture of flowers through the Summer.

All Fall Down -- Well Half

We may have missed the snow but we did get a night of very gusty winds, the tall twin trunked eucalyptus is only half its former self.
The bees and butterflies have been making the most of the warm Spring days and the blackbirds are very busy feeding their young. I am keeping my fingers crossed hoping the prowling magpie will not find them.
Two of last weeks guests, driving back from Chipping, watched a stoat roll an egg all the way accross the road. A whole new take on rolling Easter Eggs !!
