A look around the garden



Armed with a new batteries in the camera and M sleeping for a while I stalked a few insects around the veggie patch, those bees are camera shy and to get a few decent pics was quite an achievement. The garden is very damp still from the deluge of rain over the last week, the good side is that its made everything a vibrant shade of green or red and that's good to see as we start our way into autumn.....

 

 pommegranites ripening






 even though the artichokes are going over they still look impressive


 tricky little bees on the basil flowers they adore the basil, I am saving the seed and will plant heaps of basil through the garden to attract the bees next year


 lovely reds of the ruby chard

 
 a delicious cabbage ready for picking at the weekend, more impressive colours

 a flowering leek plant with a little creepy crawly, think its a shield bug, kids love to collect these bugs

 ready for the fire
 
 this is an everlasting spinach that is supposed to be tasty, we haven't had much leaf on it this year so hope to get it through the winter so we can taste it next spring


parsley, the flat leaf variety
 agapanthus seeds


 the gorgeous pink berries from the lillipilli tree, apparantly edible but not game to try bush tucker just yet
