VEGETABLES AND CANCELLATION

The first of our winter vegetables have now been in the ground for three months and we have eaten all the pak choi and spinach and been enjoying the swiss chard and brocolli.  The brocoflower and Italian brocolli are  also coming on as well as the later planted beetroot, leeks and more swiss chard and spinach.






Tomorrow we were due to go on a bus and boat trip to Tiritiri Matangi, an Island bird and animal sanctuary.  Unfortunately, the forecast for tomorrow is not at all good and the trip has been cancelled.  They hope to run it later in the month.

  1. That all looks very good. I shall have to start lifting my Beetroot, to see how they've done; some of the plants are quite big. More jam making today, I'm knee-deep in Tayberries.

    1. Oh, will try and remember that when we finally go there. Neither of us has been before so we are really looking forward to it.

    1. The garden is doing really well at present. As it turned out it was not a bad day yesterday and we did a walk so hope it is better when we finally get to go on the trip.

    The trip to Matangi wildlife sanctuary sounds like quite a little adventure. Good Luck with it!
