A pregnant quenda

We caught a pregnant quenda on camera although they're shy and come out at night we see them at dusk. This one was trying to get into the seed garden - no doubt it had a craving for peas. It's right in the middle of the photo next to the top daisy.

Lisa's herbs and roses

 Lisa's been busy planting roses

 .....and her herb garden is looking amazing!

Potato fruit

These are potato fruits - you can grow potatoes from seed. Normally they're grown from "seed" potatoes, that is small potatoes grown above 250m altitude. You can breed you're own potato varieties this way (otherwise they are the same as the parent plant).

Wild seed garden

 The seed garden is looking a little like wilderness - I'll have to do some more work in there.

About to harvest some onions - good, they will make some more space for something else. They take up such a long time in the garden bed.

The radish forest

 Abandon all hope ye who enter - the Black Spanish Radish Forest.

I'm collecting these for seed - they're over my head and tricky to get past.

A fair bit of food

 We're now getting a fair amount of food from the AP orchard garden.

Baby carrots and turnips

 The same plus purple radishes

We're getting a large amount of baby carrots.

Globe artichokes can feed you

 Contrary to what other gardening authors say, I think globe artichokes are well worth growing. We have whole meals of artichokes in early summer.

They are very easy to grow - a kind of low-maintenance food source, just waiting around to be picked. A bit fussy to process but once you get the hang of it - well worth doing (they're delicious!).
