Happy days!! All the best, KateSunShiny Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136959449936694237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-91950432667406884242013-03-01T10:51:36.880+11:002013-03-01T10:51:36.880+11:00Your tomatoes look amazing Kate...worth waiting fo...Your tomatoes look amazing Kate...worth waiting for! Great photos, love Pepper with the colander on her head. My gardening goal is for a productive autumn/winter.

It feels so much healthier and tastes often so much better compared to the store-bought veggies! I'm not much of a tomato fan and I do not have many room (lets say none) to grow my own vegetables except spring onions in the windowsill but they are lovely :)Kirstenhttp://www.haakmaarraak.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-15893569770474749222013-02-28T20:28:53.405+11:002013-02-28T20:28:53.405+11:00Last year we had a bumper crop!

But when they started piling up I'd just pop them in a container in the fridge & during winter I used them in stews & curries- they were great!<br /><br />This year was a disaster :( Perth was a little confused with the weather before Xmas & then we had heat wave after heat wave so I gave up. <br /><br />Next summer I'll try again :)Reannon https://www.blogger.com/profile/04215161182830545561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-11629240989697099892013-02-28T17:25:32.901+11:002013-02-28T17:25:32.901+11:00:) Mine is to grow basil so we can make pesto when...:) Mine is to grow basil so we can make pesto whenever we want and not have to waste any...we planted some a couple of weeks ago...and it's actually growing...AND THRIVING! so pesto here we come!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357037310265771808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-39240369940044380852013-02-28T15:32:58.239+11:002013-02-28T15:32:58.239+11:00These photo's are amazing and so vivid.

At least we're not paying thirteen dollars a kilo for them like we were before summer (and that's not even for organic!). I most definitely have a gardening goal right now, and that is to grow garlic! the garlic available here is so tragic it's rotten or sprouting before you even buy it. I've gotten friends to source me a couple of heads from the organic market in the city and I pick them up next weekend :) <br />Yay for getting over your tommy aversion! Where is the black stuff from? I've never had it before.

It's really really hard...they got budworm AND blossom end rot and I over-pruned them and thought I had killed them. They came back though and we've had a good like haul from them. One thing I cannot stand the smell of is basil...I grow it but the smell makes me get a headache.

I grow tomatoe every year (only in a small green house) but cannot touch them, they give off something that makes me ill. Yet every year I grow them again!! Completely irrational.
