It's Been A While ...

At last a quick chance to update the blog - what a hectic run-up to the festive season ! I have been too busy to get to the blog !

The puppies are now two terrors ! Sasha survived her tick bite fever X 2 that she had - both canine and human strains ! Virtually every afternoon we have a thunderstorm - mostly just thunder, lightning and power failure with very little rain. Although we've had a bit of rain it is not nearly enough. The soil is so dry that it actually cracks.

In the meantime we started picking the small yellow pear-shaped tomatoes - can one describe something as extra-super sweet ? Here are some pictures of some of the produce growing currently :

Artichoke

Borage
Note that the borage flower is said to be the only blue edible flower - tasting like cucumber. In Afrikaans the name of the plant is "komkommerkruid" - translated that means cucumber weed !

Artichoke

Cherry Tomato

Savoy Cabbage

Echinacea

Flowers


Peppers - yellow

Brinjal

Tomatoes

Maize 

Onions

Peppers

Till later !
