Summer's bounty





Some of the delicious produce I have growing lovingly in my backyard veggie patch at the moment include these capsicum, burpless cucumbers and dragon's breath beans.

The tomatoes have been very consistent and bountiful this summer (yum!) with almost daily pickings.Spinach is growing strong as is the parsley.

Summer fruit


I've been happily picking the first crop of my juicy tomatoes. Yes,once they start to change colour, I have to pick them before the cheeky birds find them and pick to their little hearts content.
Mind you, I don't mind sharing. It' just that this is the very first time I have successfully grown three largish tomato plants which have produced a heavy crop and i want my family and a few close friends to enjoy this goodness!

The three types are 1. Grosse Lisse
2. Roma
3. Beefsteak
I've found the grosse lisse and beefsteak varieties to be the heaviest croppers.
