December Wind Down

The heat and lack of rain has really knocked things about this month with the last of the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, carrots and zucchinis being harvested.

We have some lettuce seedlings (couldn't strike the seeds) kicking along under shade houses and chillies ripe for the picking.

My little oasis in the desert (thanks to daily waterings) is also looking great.

In the new year will will share our great new garden project, but for now it is just time to reflect and enjoy the fruits of our labour!

Merry Christmas and happy gardening everyone!

Today's Harvest

Considering the lack of rain and subsequent enthusiasm for gardening lately, it still surprises me how much we are reaping the rewards of having a vege garden.

Potatoes, parsnips, zucchini, tomatoes and beans made it's way into our kitchen today. Now that's a great effort I reckon!

Tony assures me he has been pottering around most days to keep it ticking along - I think I've been too pre-occupied with trying to keep my flowers alive and a small patch of grass green through the drought to notice too much about the vege patch.

My recent gardening efforts might not be enough to fill our bellies, but at least I have a small oasis in the desert to fill our hearts!
