Some garden stuff

Despite the very dry weather recently the garden and other ornamental plants are going well.

One of our beds has been graced by a number of Naked Ladies (that should boost my hit count).
The pineapple lilies are not, strictly speaking, garden plants as they are in a pot but they are adjacent to the garden.  Whatever, they look good in front of the early morning light.
 The last of our Lilies are blooming.
 We planted quite a lot of tomatoes this year and after about a month of light production (ie they were ripening about as fast as we can eat them) the Tomateberg has erupted.
The trombacini (also known as the worlds most amusing vegetable) are going well also and we got our first peaches.  More peaches were collected later.
The Tomato Mountain continues.  In the next image I show the situation after

  • Frances made several serves of tomato sauce; and 
  • we gave about 2kgs of tomatoes to visiting friends.
The two jars are jam and chutney given by the friends as a nice exchange for a few kgs of blackberries which they took with jam intentions!

We have also temporarily stopped buying potatoes as digging them is more fun (and they taste better).
