Its nice to do a round of the garden and see some food progress.
We had a great meal tonight… I fished out the last steaks that were lurking in the freezer, Jeff bbq-ed them and I steamed some new potatoes and made a fresh salad – including a couple of fresh laid boiled eggs just because I could.
Topped off with some home made strawberry ice cream I made today.
Nice and full and happy 🙂
Anyway, plants…
Some more garlic
The basil is looking amazing – it might be time to make up a batch of garlic pesto?
Definite capsicum growth this week!
Lovely tomatoes everywhere, but no hint of red yet!
My patch of watermelons really do NOT look happy. I am just hoping for the best… if they all die I’ll just have to plant something else there. Hoping they will eventually perk up and do watermelon-like things.
In better news, the passionfruit is an extremely happy plant. I would go as far as to say ‘ecstatic’
Since it was a really beautiful day, we took off late this afternoon to do a circuit around Anniversary Bay.
We saw a few wallabies on our way.
Peeking through the scrub until I got too close.
Lovely view today!
I forgot to have lunch today, so without the energy reserves I found those hills a bit tougher! Still, it took us less than two hours and it was gorgeous out there.
Hope your weekend was great too!
Cheers
I have given up growing watermelons. Every year they look great then the fruit starts dying off. Sometime you just have to admit defeat and move on lol!
I haven’t even gotten to the part where the plant looks great! 😀
I am not sure whether to persist with them or not – seems a waste of a garden plot. I do plan to plant some other seeds… maybe I should just start over. hmmmm decisions … 🙂
