With all of this hot weather, Jim has been working hard in the Veggie Garden. - we planted some seeds, mulch with pea straw, and water every day. The results have been spectacular and this year the kangaroos haven't been in to munch on our veggies or seedlings. The rhubarb is doing well. This is the re-growth from the dry shrivelled up crown. There is truth in the notion that if you water the dry crown it will grow back!
The chillis look excellent, the silverbeet is happy and there are pumpkins everywhere. There are a couple of different types of pumpkin - a soft skinned, fast growing orange one (probably has a more technical name) , and the butternut pumkins are looking like they are the right shape. It's been a good year in the veggie garden.
