It’s that time
I am always late getting the spuds and tomato’s in but finally the garden is starting to look like the plants are growing faster than the weeds. The kowhai tree has been full of tui’s every day. The spuds are big enough to start mounding up and I even have beans and tomatoes on the go, a tiny carrot patch, peppers, courgettes and the obligatory broccoli. My rainbow beet is out of control and will,need to be slaughtered soon but the perpetual spinach is limping along. I have found a Yuzu tree in the citrus collection and it is surprisingly nice in sparkling water, a new favourite. It’s not really a very big space but I have plums and apples and pears, blueberries, raspberries, gooseberry and strawberries, passion fruit, rhubarb and I am trying to figure out where I can put a cape gooseberry. But Christmas I might be ready for the next lockdown 🙃 I get real satisfaction out of gardening, although it would be a hellava lot more fun if I didn’t have to weed. I don’t mind mowing with my tiny battery mower, it’s getting around to it when it stops raining that takes the most time.
