FEBRUARY, 2012 - AND YET ANOTHER LATE ENTRY!

Here it is, already 8th March and I'm only just doing my entry for February! There are excuses galore but, whatever - time passes and here I am.
Depite most of Victoria being flooded out, our corner of the world was surprisingly dry for the begining of February with only the odd 10 to 15 mm of rain on and off throughout the month and the occasional wind. Now that it's March, the first few days have been truly beautiful - what we USED to call 'typical' Autumn weather - sunny, warm and just a little breeze - practically perfect in every way!

This was 21st February, one of the perfect days for
crop dusting.

It's been a funny season for fruit and vegies, not much growth and what there was, was very slow. I've been picking tomatoes but they're not as tasty as in previous seasons and the slow growth has given them rather hard skins. The Golden Globe pumpkins have practically stopped growing at the size of a baseball and I doubt if they'll ever be worth picking.
There's been very little action from the garden or the gardener and I've let the few pictures I have tell the story on Picasa just click here.
