December. Oops lost November completely in the rush. Oh well, managed to do lots of other things - visited unwell Mum, hosted several hundred students and teachers in the camp, weeded alot of gardens and became LOOK magazine's new gardening columnist! I'm loving that. They also have rather a good contributor named Abraham Larsen. The December issue might not be on line yet so check back later.
In the kitchen garden I have lots of strawberries (which we occasionally dip in Whittakers darkest chocolate) broccoli,lettuces, potatoes zucchinis and lots of herbs. The passionfruit vine which I have been sloshing with chook manure, sheep manure, cow manure and buckets of soaked teabags, has finally rewarded me with hundreds of flowers which I am hoping will become hundreds of passionfruit. The grape vine that I thought I might have killed by over pruning has lots of adorable little bunches of frogs-eggs lookalikes. The sunflowers are taller than me and starting to develop faces. All is good in the world.We have had lots of amazing flowering shrubs burst out and surprise us - well maybe they are surprised that there is someone here that talks to them and tells them how beautiful they are everyday. This actually works - try it. x to you all
