garden harvest

I love finding things in the garden! This kind of natural foods just tastes better when you pick it yourself! We've been tidying up the garden ready for Autumn and we gathered some plums & were pleasantly surprised to find green gage plums and wild blackberries too! Jase also picked some crab apples which may eventually become a jelly! The neighbouts quinces are growing nicely too & we will ask them if they are happy to share some again this year - I love quince paste with blue cheese! Another rhubarb cutting is in store too - rhubarb shortcake - yum! Posted by Picasa

Yum fresh fruit from the garden.
We have a rhubarb plant (rhubarb garden!) too - I did have a vege garden but Ken decided to extend the house (verandah/ outside 'room') over my carefully tended garden, and the only plant he thought worth moving was the rhubarb!!

Isn't that photo just great? We have tomatos, letttuces, spinach, heaps of herbs, lemons and plums in our back yeard at present and that's it. I was hoping to get Elliot to eat more fresh stuff by growing them - hasn't worked - but it is lovely picking something fresh

Oh yum! That pic is making this preggy chick hungry! They look super yummy! Thanks for the comments on my layout in the latest mag. They were pics that belonged to a special friend so it was nice to do that for her.

Keep those fruit yummies coming.

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!
