Jade plants

Moved the jade plants today, they look pretty good in their new place.

Pineapples

Who would have thought it, a pineapple plant that can withstand the NZ
climate. We were told that these fruit are sweeter than shop bought
ones and that you can plant them anywhere. Ummm we shall see. Although
this one looks like a good plant and has at least three offshoots
already so does this mean that we get three more pineapples?

Spiky cactus garden

Here's Sophie in her pjs gardening early Sunday morning. This is just
a nice photo of how the garden is looking great at the moment

Veggie garden under construction

Here's a picture of the four new beds made today. As mentioned before
these are made from old pallets. The next stage will be putting them
in place and filling with soil and compost. The weedmat can then be
cut and pinned down.

Making veggie gardens

Here's Sophie tearing pallets apart (almost with her bare hands) ready
to make veggie gardens for our new area. This area has now got a fence
to keep the cats and chickens out.

Full instructions on how to make these relatively free gardens on
another day.

Veggie patch number

The Tomatoes are starting to flower, a rogue pumpkin has flower buds
too, capsicums which are flowering, onions in the front and are
starting to look a little plump. Silverbeet which I picked a couple of
leaves and put on an eggs beni yesterday.

Christmas pressy

Blackberry bush which is thornless. Don't know where to plant it yet
as they have a habit of spreading, but can't wait for next years crop.
