A grand start to the new year when I peeked into the hothouse and saw colour on the tomatoes! I am very excited. Its been too long since I tasted a real tomato.
Jeff decided to sort out the scruffy lawn…
While I went back to my happy place
I don’t usually pick consecutive days, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to rain or not – was overcast most of the day. I learned that you don’t pick berries when its raining or just rained. The fruit goes mouldy really quickly!
I had some fun picking more snow peas, digging a few potatoes and getting some lettuce. I couldn’t help pulling up a few more garlic bulbs too.
Somehow a whole lot of tomatoes have sprung up among my runner beans! Meh… will just leave them to play together and see what happens.
The sunflower in my hothouse has sprung open! Hope it will attract more bees
I didn’t pick through the strawberries today – must get onto them tomorrow. I could see a number ready! Of course – I had to sample at least one…
Despite the overcast day, at around 7pm the skies cleared a little and it was lovely sitting on the back veranda for a while just enjoying the view.
Cheers!
Your flowers are so lovely. It is cold and yucky here. I’m not a winter person. Your pictures help me get through the winter.
It is pretty around here right now. Lapping it up after the grey winter we had (no pretty snow tho) I’ll try to keep up with the colour and sunshine photos! lol – all dependent on what the weather decides to do!! 😀
