The pumpkin patch. The leaves get very "wilty" during the hot sumemr days to save water, but they perk up when the sun goes down (this picture was taken at about 18:00, you can see the leaves in the shade have recovered) |
A nice Queensland Blue pumpkin |
I've harvested about half of the potatoes, and planted sweet corn in their place. The brussels sprouts to the left haven't done very well, and the peas to the right have died off after giving us a very good crop |
An apple cucumber vine, which gives 4 or 5 tennis-ball-sized cucmbers every couple of days |
Radishes, silver beet and capsicum |
Lebanese cucmbers, just starting to send out runners. |
Assorted tomato vines |
Tomatoes viewed from the other side, with beans to the right |
My battery-powered lawnmower, with its solar panel on the roof |
These yellow cherry tomatoes started sprouting in the front garden a few years ago, there must have been some seeds in a load of mulch or something |
They're very prolific |
Since I had nowhere left to put them out the back, I now have 5 tomato plants staked up in my front yard |
Roses - one of the few plants that even tenants can't kill |
