“What a difference a day makes”… well in Southland it’s “What a difference a month makes” lol. Summer is here…. Sort of? Well if you go by the progress of the garden it is. freshly laid lawn starting to sprout after 8 days of nothing, all the new raised bed are looking good, the bee patch is shooting away, the tunnel house has gone ballistic and the potato patch is looking like it will be a good crop. A lot of hard grafting went into preparing the raised beds and tunnel house and of course the virtually indestructible garden shed built from pallets (the idea coming from my son in-law Dan when he built their maimai). With Jude doing all the planning and planting, I was just the slave for the heavy work (my little grizzle🤣😂), but in the end I will reap the rewards of fresh produce from it. My favourite is the strawberries patch which is producing the largest and sweetest strawberries.
