Fugly Farm

The sky has fallen.
I'm trying to teach my eldest how to save water and energy.
They've got expensive recently.
Explaing that modern detergents work in cold water was a tough one.
Telling her she didn't need that cupboard full of cleaning products didn't go down well either.
Mentioning that everything didn't need washing after wearing it once almost got me thrown out of the house.
There's the house lit up like a Christmas tree to tackle and of course encouraging one pot cooking to go yet as well as a few more tips.

Good luck Shad, you've set yourself up with quite a challenge!

How old are your girls now IM?

Um, 5 or 6 months I think. So far they haven’t gone any further than the xeriscape garden. They’re rather vigorous about foraging

With all that vigorous foraging, they should sleep like rocks tonight

We must have had quite a bit of outflow wind from storms last night, lots of stuff is blown around in the yard. Caught the girls out in the big yard early this morning. They’re still out there foraging and seem content.

You mean those ornery girls never went to bed last night?!? Have you explained to them about beauty sleep?

That's pretty ingenious how you did the shade panels on the planting beds.

Well thanks! It’s really just a temporary thing, once the weather cools off I’m taking them down and hopefully won’t need them next year.

The girls did go to bed, which is a good thing. I fell asleep and never locked up last night. Early this morning there was a cat in the yard that I chased off.

When does your weather start cooling off? I'm sure you're ready for it!

Great to see what you've achieved so far in difficult conditions and limited space IM.
