Today we had a long list of things we planned to do out on the ranch. We had a lot of trees to plant, a kit-set wheel-barrow to construct, some raised vege gardens to construct, etc etc etc…<\/p>\n

But when we arrived out there Bec noticed that the big orange ball on the water tank was looking a lot lower than it should have been. In fact it was at the very bottom of its possible height. Uh-Oh. And when we had a look around the pump-shed the ground was absolutely soaked. As was the floor of the shed. Uh-Oh again. Not sure if that’s where the whole 35,000 litres of water went (along with any more that the pump had pumped up in the meantime – presumably quite a lot more!), but that’s the only obvious place that it could have gone. <\/p>\n

So until we get the irrigation guys in to have a look at it there’s been a bit of a slow-down in any proceedings relating to anything like plants that might want to have a drink now and then. Not a complete halt though. Of the many natives we took out with us we decided to go ahead and plant a couple more Pittos that had been liberated from the garden here, and a larger cabbage tree that we didn’t think would cope too badly, along with a tangle-wood tree that didn’t quite want to go back in the back of the car today.<\/p>\n

We did manage to get the wheelbarrow put together though. With a minimum of cursing and swearing! One thing crossed off the list at least…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And it was so bloody hot today, with not a breath of wind, that it was almost a relief to decide to wait for the rest of the list and just sit in the shade of the roof and soak up a bit of the environment. And stare at the long grass and think it might need a bit of a trim very soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
