The garden in this little corner of the world has gone quite mad. We have an abundance of cabbage, silverbeet (it’s really taking over!), butter and purple beans, rhubarb, a few pumpkin plants that are very happy with the current climate, a single zuchinni plant which is also VERY productive at the moment (evidence follows………), strawberries, lettuce, chives, parsley, celery, eggplant and fifty million (o.k, slight exageration) cherry and big red tomatoes. I think that’s it?? Ooh, no I forgot the main crop in the garden, the potatoes. Take one bag of seed potatoes from the Warehouse, add some potato fertiliser, an afternoon of serious digging, a few weeks, and you have a rather HUGE crop of potato plants. The cauli and brocolli were abundant, but they largely went to seed. Those that didn’t were savaged by nasty wee white butterflies, despite my religious removal of said nasties. Grrrrrrrrrr.
This evenings pickings: three cute little cherry tomatoes (there’ll be 5 or so ready tomorrow, yipee), beans, and a lovely cabbage. Isn’t it satisfying growing your own food. I must plant the next lot of seeds. Thanks so much for getting me started on this seed raising adventure Lizzie, I’m having a lot of fun

The marrow that I forgot to pick…………………………………………………………..
We’re going to hollow it out and stuff with mince/onion mix and bake for dinner tomorrow night. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
