we have finally pulled out the zucchini plants – two of those last three were unpleasantly bitter

We seem to have zombie zucchini plants!

one last zucchini remains, ripening up in a race with the drying up and dieing plants

home from a week of camping, three whopper zucchini to pick and one more tomorrow

tada! The zucchini harvest has commenced. First three picked this evening

we've harvested the last of the broadbeans, time to dig the plants in on the weekend

planted a row of pea seeds that Cam collected yesterday when passing an XR protest

another row of broadbeans planted, hopefully to stagger the crop production

the broadbean seedlings have started to sprout

The three tiny pumpkins all died, rotted and fell off so we've pulled out the plant – so much for the pumpkin crop

the 2023 eggplant crop consist of one small purple eggplant, ripening nicely, but only a bit bigger than a golf ball

Two rows of broad bean seeds planted in one of the raised garden beds

there are still a few green tomatoes in the garden, I suspect nothing more will ripen now that its getting cooler

builders had turned off the watering system tap so the vege. garden is all dried up, but harvested some toms

I have harvested the second tomato! Fingers crossed that the weather stays warm for long enough that the rest ripen up

planted a punnet of lettuce seedlings and two pots of petunias

harvested the first Pak Choi for chicken stir-fry tonight

the pak choi are growing well, might be able to harvest some of the bigger ones soon

planted two punnets of Pak Choi seedlings (11 plants)

one last zucchini filling out, although the plants don't seem to realise winter has arrived

Jo started on pulling out the dead tomato plants but I'd injured my back, couldn't bend over, so didn't help!

picked all the remaining green tomatoes

zucchini plants are dying off, but still producing flowers

we're getting towards the end of the tomatoes, I picked a few handfuls today and the rest will be in a race against the warm weather

the zucchini have nearly finished, there are around seven finger-sized ones still growing, about the same number smaller, yellow and starting to rot

Almost a dozen finger-size zucchini, but they just won't get any bigger, either needs more water or compost

plenty of tomatoes ripened over the weekend, the zucchini stubbornly refuse to get any bigger

four zucchini that grew while we were away now harvested, two quite large

picked three near perfect small tasty-looking zucchini before they escape to become zeppelins

I have picked the first home-grown zucchini, it suddenly got much larger after the rain

tomato and zucchini plants growing well, the capsicums look quite small and undeveloped

the first of our zucchini look about ready to pick, first produce of the new garden beds

dug up the "garlic crop" and it was a complete dud, two, pea-sized bulbs from four plants

two of the capsicum seedlings are broken and dead, we suspect the cat has walked on them, but have no proof

planted out three punnets in the new garden beds; tomatoes, capsicum, zucchini

A cubic metre of topsoil was delivered, many barrow-loads were moved from driveway to vege gardens

planted out eight or so bulbs of "planting garlic" between roses and citrus trees

down to three beetroot seedlings, all with leaves eaten off, all dug up and dumped by cat digging up the soil

bought and assembled a second timber garden bed & weed-mat, the only way to keep the feral grass out is isolation!

finally assembled the timber raised garden bed and picked a spot for it – now to line it, fill it and grow something

planted Cam's bean seedlings out into the garden, the science experiment is over

left-most snake bean is now a metre up the trellis work
