Here are the last of my sunflowers before they turned to compost!

The rain! The rain!

I have decided to spend my $900 on a water tank to get my veggies through next summer...I am loving the rain and cooler weather, having planted half of my winter crop in, this weekend it's root crop and more broad beans to fix nitrogen into the soil after the tommies in the summer. 

Not much luck with tomatoes this year, all of my fruit came on after the heat wave, no time to ripen, so lots of green tomato relish! It's really good on sourdough toast with avo.

Hoping to finish my brassicas too...c'mon cauliflower seedlings! I have a greenhouse now so that the back sunroom doesn't get filled with dirt when I'm on a seedy binge...haw haw.

p.s. I think I'm going to my first permablitz this weekend....weeeeeee!

Here she is!

This is Pearl next to Barbara....isn't she pretty?
