This year we are very pleased with the progress in the veggie garden, after the late frost knocked things about the warm weather turned things around and we got growth. Even though it has been dry we have the luxury here of plenty of good quality water, so everything can be kept moist in the heat. We have been eating from the garden since before Christmas and the cooking has been getting more creative in order to use what we have. There have been some very pleasing meals, like rabbit stew, with mash potato where all the ingredients have been home grown.
The glasshouse that was but back together with gaffer tape after winds blew the panels out, has provided a good environment for tomatoes, without it I don't think we would have any ripe until next month. I just need to learn how to keep the plants in there under control, it is becoming a challenge to see what is going on.
