Manchurian pear in its autumn finery
All of which means the vege garden is powering along - I'm still picking and eating tomatoes, capsicum, eggplant and even zucchini!
gold bullion zucchini - in may!
and I have lots and lots of little seedlings for our winter vege - (silverbeet, beetroot, carrot, parsnip, turnip, swede, chinese cabbage, oz garlic, purple garlic, red california onion, telephone pea, snow pea, kale, broccoli, red cabbage, cauliflower)
baby ruby silverbeet - good enough to eat!
and the citrus orchard is offering a BUMPER crop - the best ever (we planted the bulk of the citrus trees when I was pregnant with EJ - she's now 5)
our lemons are amazing - and the kids are hooking into oranges and mandarins and tangelos
sams creek tangelo -
you should see the tree - it is groaning under the weight of these beauties!

and if the sight of all the fruit and vege doesn't warm the heart well there's always something pretty close by....
