limes and garlic

i know it has been quite some time since i have updated this blog, but i have just now recovered from a well deserved holiday and i now actually feel like i can get back into my normal life.

before i left to go overseas i had some very small limes on my tree. when i returned a couple weeks ago, this is what i came home to.




some lovely big and delicious looking limes! they are almost ready to pick and enjoy. i have had this tree for 3 or 4 years now and i have never enjoyed a lime from it before. this year i started fertilising regularly in the spring/summer and it seems to be working.

i must get the vodka and soda ready.



just before i left i had to give up my community garden spot, as no one would be able to keep up the watering. lucky i did as there was a +40 heat wave for 5 days while i was away.

so before i left i dug up my garlic and hung it under my stairs to dry. the bulbs are a bit small for being harvested early, but they are very good and strong tasting.



so there my first blog in months and for 2010. i will blog more about what i have planned for this year and what i have been up to since i got back to australia soon.
