| Today's pick |
- chillies (including 1 long cayene)
- yellow-green chillies
- eggplants
- tomatoes - lots but nearly the last
- fallen lemons
The only tomato variety that seem a little happier are the brown berries. They might stay in a little longer? Let's see next weekend.
My cucumbers seem to have been found by huge numbers of aphids - more than I can control really. Where did they come from in just a day or two? They might end that crop too!

Oh well, it was a strange summer, but the water tank is full, the limes and lemons nice and juicy and I haven't had to get the hose out much so I guess that is all positive.
The mind drifts to brassicas and snow peas...and the hungry gap.
Tonight its homemade (and homegrown) basil pesto - its being made as I type - that's the chink, bang, bang, bang, chink, bang you can hear in the background... with some roasted sugar lump tomatoes on top. Mmm.
I'm still awaiting my eggplant - yours look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to admit the end of tomatoes. So much so that I've just sown my winter variety, Stupice. I'm putting quite a few in in the hope that they'll produce right through. I grew them last year http://500m2.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/winter-tomatoes-for-stupid-heads/ but left it a bit too late to sow, so I didn't get fruit until late October. If they get a head start now they I think I have a shot.
ReplyDeleteI admire your determination, perhaps I should give it a go. Tt is possible afterall given that Sydney doesn't get a frost ( at least not where I live).
