With the hot days drawing to an end, we are picking the last of the Summer crops. We have eaten the last of the sweet corn, but still getting a steady supply of Chillis, Eggplant and Tomatoes. Also, the odd capsicum.
Through the Summer we have enjoyed, sweet juicy rockmelons straight from the garden. We thought that these were the best thing we had grown all season. But we were mistaken.
This week end we picked and ate our first watermelon. What a gem - simple Delicious! We have about another seven still ripening. So plenty of melons to eat over the next few weeks.
We will be definitely planting more of these melons, but a little earlier next year. Apart from that we still have some QLD Blue and Butternut pumpkins growing outdoors.
Lately we have been preparing the shadehouse for winter. At the moment it is planted out with tomates, capsicums fresh herbs, silverbeet and strawberries. More will be added soon.
Over the last spring and summer months, we have learnt a lot about gardening, especially the timing of planting.
We still have a lot to learn and looking forward to what the next season brings.
