I could do up an endless list of reasons why I love my Mum. This week though it's because she loves her gardening and I'm a very grateful recipient.
We had some really, really hot weather last week and over the weekend it's been very windy. It's also very dry and as a result parts of our state are battling bush fires. Thank goodness there's been no loss of life but a number of people have lost their homes and unfortunately the weather forecast isn't favourable.
What we need is rain. Good, soaking rain to help but that's not looking likely right now.
As a result of the heat and the dry weather, Mum's garden started to look a little worse for wear so she harvested as much as she could and has delivered some of it to my sister and myself.
We have cabbage, leeks, zucchini (courgettes), tomatoes, choko, lettuce, celery, parsley and snow peas. I will admit that the snow peas didn't make it to the fridge as Miss R and I munched on them which means they also won't be making their way into the stir fry for dinner either.
Thanks Mum. Love you lots!
xx Susan

A lovely harvest. Ours was OK, but we had to much sun and not enough rain. The butterflies got to the cabbages as well. Enjoy. Best, Jane x
