The Garden's Progressing..

We've just had a few days of rain, and yesterday afternoon the sun came out.. the garden has really taken off, everything is growing and flowering, even fruiting, nicely.. We are eating tomatoes from the garden most days.. It hasn't really started producing them fully yet, but we manage to share 4 or 5 or more a day.. (they're cherry tomatoes - see picture below) 

- They are so very sweet and melt in your mouth..There're heaps of tomatoes on the plant, and now the sun is back I expect to be harvesting even more each day..

We have also eaten the first peas, the plants are still small, but have already given us 2 or 3 pods.. the peas are also very very sweet!

The watermelons are just spreading out everywhere, tonnes of flowers on them, and yesterday I discovered a little watermelon growing.. (pictured)

It's just tiny still, fits in the palm of my hand.. there are possibly/probably more, but difficult to know for sure as the foliage would be hiding them..

The cucumber plants are stretching skyward, I've put a couple of guide ropes in for them to hold on to. They are all looking healthy..

There're some dwarf roma tomatoes flowering too, and I've just planted some more tomato seedlings to keep us going throughout the season.

The chilli plants are looking good too.

And 2 avocado trees have sprouted from underground.. Shame we can't grow them for real, because after we leave, they will almost certainly be uprooted.

Well.. Ciao for now..

Hugs, Mango.
