The Great Garden Adventure

Blimey, it's been a while



I've just realised how long it's been since I updated here. I've not really been near the garden for most of the summer, life seems to be taking over. Tareka has been dropping in a couple of times a month for weeding and sowing, and Liz drops the harvest round now and again.
We're now pretty much into Autumn here, so the weather is cooling off, and the apples are falling.

We got some chillies growing that seem to play russian roulette with your tongue, some are not hot in the slightest and some are painful! Here they are growing upside down (well we are in New Zealand!)








The piggies have reproduced! So Liz and Jason have some gorgeous piglets running around (not in the greenhouse fortunately, as they are now hemmed in by an electric fence). I'd love one, but we're not allowed a pig in town :(
