Summer into autumn

Veg garden going very well! Bumper crop of cranberries and things like lettuce and peas and toms chugging along with regular watering. It's been very dry here; drought up north and water restrictions in Wellington.

The baby beet forest.



The veg boxes are filling out and plants in pots around them are settling in. We've discovered NZ spinach (Warrigal greens in Australia), a native spinach that you can't kill with a brick. We won't starve when the revolution comes. Foreground here is Gramma's jam making pot, now a home for growing herbs.
