We have had a so,so year so far. DH planted sugar snap peas and snow peas that did produce something, well enough for GS to go out and pick them of the plant. You should have seen his face when there were no more left.
The strawberries are doing really well and have been fruiting for months and look like they will do so for a while.
The snails ate the cucumbers, all three of them even though we put down snail bait.
The beans plants are big & green but not much on them.
The pumpkin vines are deciding what to do, we have a few but the butter nut spate the dummy and died in the heat. Have managed to keep the other 2 varieties alive.
Keep plenty of water on your butter nuts and they will take off. We pick our last one in April last year.
We have lettuce on the deck which we grow all year. Its great to walk out the door and pick it fresh. The potatoes we have are self sown and we dig them up when we need them.
We got our first crop of nectarines this year and have fruit on the peach, apple, lemon & mandarine trees.
Our biggest heart break is the Chinese gooseberry. After the heat last week or so it has dried up most of the fruit and many branches have died. This is a plant that produced 700+ fruit a year. Also the passionfruit is a write off.![]()
