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.
