Flowers in the Vegetable Garden

Spring has arrived and the vegetable garden is now producing despite a haphazard preparation.  We have been picking our own salad greens for several weeks but this week we picked our first batch of peas that we shelled and had with a pork roast from the Lowood butchers.  Last night we had silverbeet grown in our garden with steak.

These veggies are only the first course.  Much to our surprise our raspberries and blackberries have set fruit, if we are lucky we may get a punnet from all the canes.  But lots of new canes which is a good sign for next year.


We have never had much luck with zucchini in Brisbane, but at Honeydale we have lots of bright yellow flowers.  Jenny has also planted some cottage flowers amongst the vegetables and we have bright red nasturtiums peeping out from behind their green foliage.
