Winter is over and things have gone great.

The broccoli is starting to get florets. They are a bit later than we were expecting but that’s what happens when you live further from the equator. We’ve got some cabbages cauliflower and Korabi as well but they aren’t quite as far along.

The first 2 clutches of chicks are getting their wing feathers. Pretty sure we got lots of boys. We managed to sell them all last season so fingers crossed. We’ve sent off almost 150 eggs for hatching and we were just starting this time last year.

The Garlic is going gangbusters with 4 more months to go. We had to freeze a few kilos from last season’s harvest because they started to rot. Its kinda disappointing because we lost well over 5 kg but now we know how long it will last and how much fresh stuff we should keep for eating and thus how much of our harvest we can sell.

Our Parsley is going amazingly and the broad beans are just starting to flower.

Last seasons Pumpkins have ripened really well. We had to harvest them a bit early and we weren’t sure how they’d but they have lots of pumpkin flavor and they aren’t too sweet. (I find really sweet pumpkins ruin soups and things that are meant to be more savory)

We are still getting chillies and the odd capsicum from last years plants in our glass house and we’ve got some seedlings to relace the ones that didn’t make it through the winter. and I’m in the process of building another glasshouse for our tomatoes.

Lots of work to do but barring some disaster the future is looking bright.
