WINTER

Winter went quickly in spite of having several frosts that knocked the bananas and a few other plants.  Luckily it didn't seem to damage the actual bananas and we have just picked two large bunches.  I have been trying to get back to blogging for a while but the time just seems to fly.  

I managed to get through winter without picking up any bugs but managed to get a cold/cough about three weeks ago and it just doesn't want to go away so today was the second Parkinson Walk in a row that we haven't been on.

The fence in the front of the house was, presumably, built at the same time as the house - 1973 - and was past its use-by-date so Doug decided to replace it.  The photos below are from both sides of the fence.  Flower garden on the road side and vegetables on the house side.

Anyway, Doug dismantled it and manage to remove the posts that had as much under ground as above and then we decided we like it without the fence so it will stay that way.  There is a fence further back. Doug is now working on new edging around the garden.
