The sun is out but it's not too hot. The passion fruit from next door's vines have come through my fence and are dropping their fruit on my side. It would be a shame not to eat them so I had one on my cornflakes this morning. Yum. My basil is growing really well so I will harvest some this afternoon and make up a pesto to eat with a little pasta and a nicely chilled chardonnay.
My poor old lemon tree which I hacked into, and nearly killed, several years ago has really responded well to my organic treatments of coffee, manure and wormcasts plus a monthly spraying with seaweed tea. It now has more lemons than I can remember it ever having before and of course they are in different stages so hopefully I won't get a glut all at once.
Tomatoes are still ripening and the pumpkins are still swelling. My seedling greens look healthy and hopefully will be strong enough to withstand the frost when it comes, probably in about 6 weeks or so.
Unbelievably I am still picking strawberries almost every day. This has definitely been my best ever year for them - I reckon that manure base and regular feeding has been perfect for them.

Good to meet you too Indra.
We are also getting strawberries ...Not many though but the occasional one or two that make for a tsty snack and a reminder of summer :O)
Tomatoes all started to ripen at once despite the staggered planting... Much relice, chutney and sauce has been made ... :O)
