The meaning of DH…

Ok, so for all those of my in-laws (yes, you know who you are!) who have questioned the meaning of DH on this blog, DH is actually an internationally recognised, commonly used abbreviation for DEAR HUSBAND!!!!! It does not mean that other D***H*** that you have all thought it did!!! I find it interesting that has been only my in-laws (and my wonderful Dear Husband) who thought it meant otherwise…. la la la lala lala….

A strange avocado plant

This avocado seed sprouted in the compost/worm bin so when I found it I planted it in an old milk container. One avocado seed…. and it has four stems sprouting from it! Now, avocado seeds are pretty huge, it’s not like I could have accidently planted more than one! I don’t know if this is normal for avocado’s or not since I haven’t grown them before. Weird…..
I have a large pot here that I have to repot it into this week, and at some point I need to decide what I’m going to do with it. Apparently they grow up to 15 metres tall, this is/will be a decent sized tree! Won’t last in a pot forever….

An unexpected harvest

When we first moved here in january the back yard had three very sad looking young saplings planted here. There’s no actual soil here, it’s just gravel on top of yellow and red clay…. Like every other plant here the Landscapers (and I use the term very loosely) just dug a hole, dumped the plant in, tossed a handful of water over it and that was it planted. These plants had been put in a week before we moved in, in the middle of a very hot summer with no-one to water them.
I mulched them with pea straw (cheaper than lucerne hay!) and watered them with the washing machine water every day or so. They ended up dying (surprise surprise!) but the pea straw grew! They’re only fodder peas, so not that wonderful for eating, but as long as we picked them young they were great! This was Dian’s first time for growing and eating fresh peas and she loved them! Took them to school for recess in the pods still!

Two cute nappies

Diapers for those of you in the US… I made these yesterday just for fun.

And just for the record, no I don’t have an announcement to make and yes, I will tell you if/when there is an announcement! LOL!

The outside is plain cotton towelling and the inside is blue and green velour. Thought it was cute that I managed matching snappi’s to do them up too!
