A fortnight ago I greeted you with a beacon…a blaze of colourful Persimmon leaves clothing a fully dressed tree in all its glory, but today I greet you instead with a puddle! So it is that autumn makes its slow progress; and it is a rather slow march this year.
Rats!!!! Oh dear Sally...grrrrrrrr indeed! A few years ago I was SO excited at the heads of broccoli under wire, on a Friday before a Saturday kitchen gardening event...and as I walked by participants through the garden and went to point...to my horror they were ALL gone! That was our rat year! Hope you had a lovely time away Sally. Mx
Wow your Khol Rabi is looking amazing. We have also been away and on our return found the reason our newly sown coriander and silverbeet had been eaten, rats! A dead one found on our lawn, at least the Pak Choy has been left alone, then to top it off our citrus trees had been mightily attacked by leaf miner, so a big cut back needed and finishing off with a spray, which I had done before we left.grrr. Oh well at least nothing had died. Have a wonderful weekend with your event with Jade, I hope the weather is kind to you.
