February 2013

A very happy tomato




Well it is always good to start with a smile.....I love this tomato he has so much personality. 
February was busy with finishing off the renovations to the house – getting carpet and other flooring down, new furniture delivered, the kitchen being finished off and best of all getting ready for a visit from Sis.  All very exciting. 
 
The vege garden was really into production mode now.  Most evening meals had at least 3 different things from the garden. 
Beans and zucchinis were given to family and friends. The new neighbors were welcomed also with a bag of beans.  I enjoyed this as the previous owners of that house had welcomed us with some veges from their garden...and so the tradition continues......

The corn is growing well – not quite ‘as high as an elephants eye’ but nearly up to my eye.  The green capsicums are also producing well

The begonias are looking beautiful and are now enjoying being able to sit in the doorway of the shade house.
We had a praying mantis visit the garden much to the delight of one of our grandsons.

There are lots of birds now visiting the garden daily for a dip in one of the two bird baths.  They are a lot of fun to watch but rather shy and so no photo as yet.
