The peppermint trees are planted but no photo / myLot

Rockingham, Australia

We’ve knocked off for the day. It’s 29C (84.2F) outside and almost 11am. We’ve now planted our peppermint trees but I forgot to take a photo of them. Then we strapped two bags to the front of the trailer to protect our new sheep, Harry and Solomon, from the wind when we bring them home tomorrow. They are near where my sister lives so we’ll call on her too to say hello. It is supposed to get to 35C (95C) this afternoon so it’s good we have nothing urgent that we need to do. The photo is another one of the horse trekkers. Vince took this one.

Hmmm... if it's going to be hot when you bring your new friends home, wouldn't they enjoy a nice breeze while riding in the trailer? I see how it is now... You just tease us about seeing the new trees.

I think they'll be getting plenty of breeze through the sides and top. I suppose I could walk down the paddock and take a photo but it's very hot at the moment. You might have to take my word for it that they're planted and wait patiently for the photo.

@JudyEv Yes, please don't go out in the heat. I can wait until you have a chance to get a photo when it isn't so hot outside.

I hope so. They have a lot of wool for the breeze to get through.

@DaddyEvil They say that wool is good insulation but you wouldn't think it could be both.

We're visiting my sister today. She gave us the trees. We'll now be able to tell her they've been planted.

You seem to be getting ready to have your hands full with those two sheep and the peppermint plants and that I am sure will give you more ideas

We have some trees we need to cut down as they are too close to the power lines. That will probably be the next project. We get Harry and Solomon tomorrow.

I see many tires along the river, there is a reason? I know you cannot wait to welcome Harry and Solomon.

@JudyEv I understand and I know very well how the waves eat away the bank.

The tyres are stabilising the bank. They get quite strong winds there which whip up 2' high waves, believe it or not, and the waves eat away at the bank.

I will. I can't believe I forgot. I took the camera with us but then forgot to use it.

It seems they only grow in our south-west. I still haven't taken a photo of the ones we have but this is from Wikimedia.

Peppermint trees? That's a new one for me. I grow various kinds of mint but they are low sprawling plants.

I wrote about them here. I couldn't believe no-one had heard of them. They're common in our south-west.

I wrote about planting some peppermint trees and, much to my surprise, it seems these are not commonly known among the myLot community. So when I went...
