Looking around the garden centre for a fruit tree and the options are either ones we already have (citrus) or don’t want (figs, berry canes). Opted for rhubarb and a curry leaf tree, because our default vegan meal option is some sort of legume curry. #GardenNZ
All the peppers, zucchini and herbs are in. Roughly 100 plants in the ground this morning. I am so so tired. It’s been a big 4 hours. #gardenNZ
Garden report: all the soil is in the beds, mulch is down, tomatoes and half the peppers in place. #GardenNZ #gardening

Anyone have any idea what this is? Five of them have sprouted up in our garden since midwinter.

@MoviesSilently I used Epsom salts on mine and they went from yellow, not fruiting to huge growth, green as and laden with fruit! #nzgardening #gardennz #gardening #gardeningnz

Just ate the first (or second?) raspberry of the season from our garden. Things tend to ripen late here, so it's cool to have some around Christmas ☺

Very exciting, first ever fruit on our haskap bushes!

The sun is finally out (while the laundry is also dry at a time I can get it off the line), and so is the first poppy. :)

The landlord assured me a month ago that this is a valid flowering plant and not a weed. Now it just looks ominous. #gardening #gardenNZ #littleshopofhorrors
