The new Snow Peas were growing well in Bed 7 (MVG) but not towards the fence!!! A few sticks will show them the way. Once they grab hold of the fence there will be no stopping them!
Purple Sprouting Broccoli in Bed 1 (MVG) is enjoying the late summer warmth...it's nearly a meter tall already!!
The warmer weather is keeping the late Zucchinis in Bed 2 (MVG) flowering!
The Strawberry Guava in the Almond Area is fruiting right now...The Lone Barnevelder is banned from this area until all the fruit is harvested...she loves Strawberry Guava!
Amazing Growth on the Lettuces in Bed 7 in the Main Vegetable Garden.
More photos of those Grandtwins who are staying in a town closer to us right now, so we get to see more of them. The hot day was just right for painting with water (no mess for Daddy to clean up) and eating strawberries and bananas for a favorite snack outside!!
No more eggs from the Faverolles for a while as they have gone into moult and won't be laying eggs until all their feathers grow back and the daylight hours get longer.To see how the various Garden areas fit on our half acre block check out the newest Planting Plan for Autumn HERE This is updated as planting occurs.
