Tomatoes and asparagus from the backyard garden. Lake Macquarie NSW. Summer 2025.

Since last week, each morning we've harvested 1kg or more tomatoes. Cucumbers have not been so great this year. Preparing to try for a second new year crop now. #Tomatoes #BackyardFood 🇦🇺 ☀️ 🐨 🍅 🥒

This year, we're setting more permanent rhyolite paths around the backyard veggie beds. The rhyolite arrived this afternoon, not a cloud to be seen. 100% #BlueSky. A few barrow loads are in and levelled. Lots to go. Hopefully, we'll be done in about a fortnight. #VeggieGardens #BackyardFood 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️ 🌱

Made some great progress today! Broke down and bought a few plants because I’m seriously behind this year. But better late than never! #veggiegarden #backyardfood
