I love winter although I do react to its bleakness with a sense if loneliness sometimes. Does that make sense? It's probably why I enjoy the sunny blue winter skies of Canberra so much. Your photos of your garden are incredibly evocative of a slow and still growing season. Reminds me to make time to get into the garden this weekend. Sadly it's dark when I get home after work these days but as I walked out the door this morning I noticed my feral tomato plant was still fruiting and ripening despite the sleet and the frost! And if a feral tomato plant can survive winter in Canberra then why shouldn't a feral Queenslander do the same?!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854689952896339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-53841948287224998732014-07-02T09:01:46.350+10:002014-07-02T09:01:46.350+10:00Hello, I am new to your blog.

Ours are in summer growth and gearing up to produce their summer crops. By our second month of fall everything looks dead and wilted. We've cut most of it back and prepared it for the winter snows to come. It is interesting to see how it is different across the world.<br /><br />We had our first lettuce and spinach results this weekend.

The other night I sent the man (not so familiar with the garden) out to get some leaks and he braught in the hole Clump! I told him to leave me three and go back outside and re plant them. I hope they live for another cold night when I want cauliflower and leek soup!

We went down to the river, explored the foreshore, talked to pelicans and watched two correla's 'making out'! We went on a bush walk and the kids climbed rock faces too high for me, so I watched and Nana closed her eyes! We got some takeaway hot chips and sat on the grass and were joined by lots of bush turkeys and a gorgeous rooster! The weather was cold but the sun was out and the fresh air cleared all the cobwebs from our souls.

There you go Kate, I've used the word fecund five times!!! He he! <br /><br />Your photos are gorgeous. I too love being at home. If I didn't need to buy groceries and drive my kids to their sport etc i don't know if I would leave our home much at all. I have spent today driving my boys around, doing the washing and some cleaning up. I will be knitting and maybe reading tonight. I'm hoping tomorrow is a sunny, still day so I can spend some time in the garden. Yes, these winter days may be cool, but there is still plenty of things to enjoy. xxooJulie Maloney Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529876368067739360noreply@blogger.com
