Nectarines

True to form, our nectarines are ready in this, the first week of December; gorgeous, juicy, delicious, richly luscious nectarines - my favourite fruit of Summer, by far!

 

Yummy yum yum!

Maybe it's time to make some nectarine jam, too?

 

 

 

What's your favourite summer fruit?

Do you grow your own?

New Season Blossom

This week saw the bud burst of our first nectarine blossoms for the season - I'm surprised we have so many, given that G and I 'pruned' so much of the tree a few weeks ago!

Now, if only I can control the fruit fly enough this year so I can get fruit I can actually eat!

Mandarines!

Our Mandarine tree is positively groaning under the strain of the enormous crop this year. The birds are having a party because we didn't get to put a net over it but there are still more than enough to go around for the next few weeks.

Miss M's class have bags of mandies, daycare has bags of mandies, friends have been given mandies - mandies mandies, mandies!!

Mandies, anyone?

Garlic in the Garden

This morning, G helped Miss M to plant her own patch in the vegie garden - her own idea - and then we spent this afternoon organising the vegie patch for its Winter plantings. Yes, we are a bit late, especially with the garlic, but it is all now well on the way.

My first mosaic - it has taken me a bit of time to work out how to make this! I am now officially pooped!!

Sweet dreams.
