This morning I was greeted by a parade of garden friends. There was a pray mantis on one of the grasses, a lady beetle eating powdery mildew on my zucchini plant, a spider setting up camp near my malabar spinach and a stick insect hanging out on my chilli plant.

Colour Hunt
Over the last two weeks my days have all started the same; I go outside in a search for colour. Generally I'm disappointed but the last two days have been promising. I've been waiting for all my beautiful green veggies to turn colour so I pick & eat them! I haven't had much produce from the garden beside my green, purple and butter beans and I'm itching for a big bowl of tomatoes!
My grosse lissie tomatoes are all still green, the tigerella tomatoes are almost ready and the pumpkin still has a long way to go.
The Jalapeno and Standard chillies are still green but the capsicum's are starting to turn.

New Years Harvest
2012 has arrived nicely with my first reasonably sized harvest. I picked some Green & Butter Beans, Spacemaster Cucumber, Costata Zucchini, Strawberries, Yellow Tumbling Tomatoes & Mini Mama Capsicum this morning. I also have my first Wrinkled Butternut Pumpkin forming and some more cucumbers and zucchinis.
