Our Winter Garden


A beautiful sunny, calm winters day today, perfect to be out in the garden. We have lots of Grapefruit this year.



Plenty of Mandarines too, which have sweetened up after the frosts.



The poor lemon tree though is struggling, it is overshadowed by too many other trees. We need to plant another one out in the open where it will get plenty of sunshine.


Hubby likes to vege garden and has but in alot of raised beds, there is not much in there at the moment but this English Spinanch has not been bothered by the frosts. I bought a bunch of this from the supermarket which still had the roots on it, so I cut off the leaves and planted the roots out and this was the result.

 
 
The silverbeet is also going well, looks like we will have to harvest some and put it in the freezer. We eat alot of silverbeet so we grow it all year round and freeze the excess.
 
 
Happy Gardening!
