May 25 Rain is Good

Managed to get lots done in the garden this morning before the rains came ......

arrived to find two of our precious peppers gone - this was rather heartbreaking as they were started from seed and nurtured for three months!!

but on to happier times - harvested some wee potatoes and planted a nice selection of greens and flowers

garden beds are full and look wonderful - May is such an encouraging month ........

and the harvest:  potatoes, radishes, mint, Gai Lan and Yu Choi Sum

May 18 Busy Day in the Garden

The weather was perfect for a good day's work in the garden .....

preparing space for our new raised beds, beds come together, levelled and planted

transplanted a number of tomatoes -

our new Bed 3A holds Fish Lake Oxheart, Yasenichki Yabuchar, Margaret Curtain and Maglia Rosa;
Bed 6 is home to Maglia Rosa, Fish Lake Oxheart, Coastal Pride Orange and Whereokowhai;
with two more tucked in to Bed 4 - Brad's Rose Quartz and Rancho Solito

and a nice selection of cukes (Poona Kheera, Diva, Saber, Muncher) and Thai hot peppers (Orange Fogo and Red Demon)

harvested arugula (starting to bolt) and some yummy radishes
