A quiet and peacful day

Everything is growing well, had a few of the early tomatoes so far, though once they really start going we're going to have quite a glut. Yum!
Picking a perfect yellow courgette every day now, from one plant, just about right really. The chilli plants have shown the finest little flowers now, very shy they are.
Garlic flowers are starting to form, most mysterious things they seem

The plums are starting to look really lovely and colourful, the odd one has dropped off so we've been able to have a small preview taste. The half that was ripe was wonderful. :)

And the rainbow beet still makes a lovely photo,

there is a new lot of plain old silverbeet starting to take hold so we will have a good supply through winter.

Dug up all the rest of the spuds today, got about 7 kg in all, don't know if that's good or bad but it all looks quite impressive.

Have sown beans in their spot, a 3x3 patch of bean 'Top Crop' (phaseolus vulgaris).
