🥵 What we didn’t count on was a 40 degree day

😅 Four of us started harvesting at 9.30am and finally left at 2pm

🌿 23 jars of Pesto safely packed in the fridge

Loaded up the plot next to us with Dwarf bean seeds (will interesting to see if they have run out of juice, or were they just eaten by birds in our plot), left over Green Feast peas & Coriander.

It’s officially Autumn. Cool nights and brisk days have arrived. There is excitement around the Patch, with pretty much everyone planting new crops – walking around the crates is a guessing game of what-do-you-think-is-that-seedling?

On our list this season:

Snap sugar peas (handy to have our tomato trellis already installed)
Snow peas (Lisa likes them loads)
Lettuce (Cos)
Carrots (yes, we’re trying them again)
Chives
Baby spinach

Mystery interloper:

Kale – two plants have mysteriously arrived in our patch. Unknown source. We think we’ll eat them anyhow.

The Big Lesson #1 – Don’t plant too much stuff

The mystery plant, Kale (in front of Craig, not where he is pointing)

New plants on the block
