Garden mania

One of our aims this year is to try and grow as much of our vegetables as we can, so just before Christmas is our main planting season (no chance of frost here) before the winter rains set in.

So the first lot of brassicas are in along with onions, and boniartio (sweet potatoes). The old crop of sweet potatoes are being harvested and eaten as needed.

Up at the top level we have carrots, leeks, more brassicas at the far end, the tomatoes and peppers will be going soon.

Then back down on the lower level are the potatoes, these are the first crop planted in October which should be ready to harvest in January.
