Almost Self-Reliant
More whippersnippering today. The grass is just starting to dry out now. It will be 30C the next couple days so I wanted to get it chopped a bit before it dries out too much. The ducks followed me around the yard while I did it. still more to do but I got the bit I wanted to get done finished with minimal sunburn. Found a fiesty bobtail lizard wresting a flower when I went around to the tap. Funny little thing, it let me pass without being scared off.
I have placed 2 of the new garden edgings. They are not secured in but unrolled about where I want them to be. One more to do which I am sure I will get done today too. I had to move some rocks out of the way and by the time I got to them the lizards were sunbaking on them and I didnt want to disturb them.
The new duck fencing is up, but not tensioned. I am not going to place it flush to the ground as I had planned because I saw a picture of a lizard stuck in chicken wire the other day and dont want that to happen to my little buddies, so I might put shade cloth across the bottom in some areas where I know they will be. I need to do the gate and then secure it to the side fence but I have everything set out and the ducks can keep free roaming for now as they are eating up all the grass seeds and keeping themselves very fat.
It will be a big watering day tomorrow. I am hoping to be up early enough to get the back done as the front was watered today and the orchard can wait until monday.
