Cape gooseberries ripening now. Birds and possums don’t seem to spot it so it is a good ‘berry’ to grow at the edge of the forest.

Homegrown vegetables

Zucchini are a flop crop this year, but the ‘miniatures’ I got are cute. Celery I can grow in the bush, I discovered. Bugs and possums don’t seem to like it! Capsicum grows well in pots and so far I collected 863 cherry tomatoes (I keep a diary).

Lost a few tomatoes with the rain, but I’m very happy with the yellow/orange ones because the seeds came from a punnet of colourful tomatoes I’ve bought ages ago, and planted, just as an experiment. They are plum shaped and sweet.

Grown in pots on the balcony: eggplants, tomatoes and celery - small but cute, ready for the pot 😋

Bartering: swapped chives, cherry tomatoes and celery from my garden with lemons from a neighbour. Who got the best deal? Everyone! 💚
