Autumn harvest and mosaic sign

The Sunday before last we harvested some great pumpkins from our plots (thanks to Marijka for the seed!)and Christine and Heather put together a beautiful salad (ironically it was too hot for soup!)Plus we had a feast from all the other wonderful dishes everyone brought and then got stuck into our mosaiced sign. It's looking rather handsome!

Then last Sunday we had an even bigger haul of produce and Ros picked her Tromoncino zucchini which really had become a bit of a monster!

February 2011

The top pond full- an amazing sight after the last few years of drought!

It's been such an amazing year for rain this year that our gardens are looking very lush and bountiful. Time to show off some of our harvest! Pauline grew a bumper crop of cucumbers and Christine did the same with zucchinis.

Finally getting started on our new sign- here's Ros and Vince cutting the cement sheeting at the last working bee.

And the letters sketched out:

Our shed before Marijka and Ros did a big clean-out last Sunday- pretty but a bit too wild:
