Waiting, waiting, waiting…

For a while it seemed that we would only ever be eating pumpkins and zucchinis.

Thankfully by late-February we were starting to harvest our plants every few days, with tomatoes, beans and capsicum starring at dinner. Having planted some lettuce seedlings in the gaps left by the zucchini plants, we were harvesting them too.

All in all we are pretty happy with our first few months.

(Weather note: According the Bureau of Meteorology, daytime maximum temperatures were much warmer than those usually experienced and averaged 27.4°C – departure from normal 2.1°C. Total rainfall for the past summer – Dec 2012 to Feb 2013 – was 108 mm, this being slightly less than that usually recorded)

Take a look at a few of our harvests…
