it's well know among my groupies that I loooove summer, fresh fruity produce and long days in the sun. I'm as brown as a berry, loving the weather apart from a couple of cyclones which have swung our way, and boy oh boy has the garden grown!
here, as promised, are some photos.

the new vege garden - lettuces, corn, peas, nasturtiums, strawberries, grape vine, swan plant, sunflowers, anything else I can stuff in there!

as you can see, it's all chugging along nicely, I've had some lovely helpers from Hong Kong who did a brilliant job of clearing and weeding for a week, thanks guys, good luck in your travels around NZ. I've also just adopted 4 new chickens, so there will be fresh eggs to keep us all fed and strong.
Plenty of produce too, although it is only a small property and small, beginning garden I've been surprised at what has grown well - chillis, lettuces, zuccinis just coming through, cucumbers doing great work, and sunflowers too of course. Strawberries not doing so well - not much room to move! but I will know better for next season
