Home Day

Today was just lovely. We had no commitments and decided to have a home day. Katy and I are recovering well almost back to normal. Andy who also got sick last week decided to have a quiet day.

It was a lazy (sleep in) start to the morning followed by eggs and bacon for breakfast before heading out into the garden. The vegie patch is coming along nicely. Potatoes look great, corn tassles are out doing their job, tomatoes are flowering with even a few green ones developing, rocket and spinach have gone nuts, the zucchini looks like it's going to be a bumper crop this year and the rhubarb is growing well showing no signs of distress since we moved it.

 

Katy has been busy picking her snow peas that have been fruiting over the past few weeks.

Ella decided on growing carrots which she harvested today. She washed and peeled the little carrots and together with the snow peas made a nice addition to tonights dinner :)

However the most exciting discovery was seeing that our pear tree is fruiting for the first time! I'm hoping that five or so beautiful beurre bosc pears will survive long enough for us to eat them!
