Its not always fun living in Auckland due to the unloving attitude non-Aucklanders have towards them, and as one I could go on about the ramshackle sprawl and terrible public transport… but, I have now found the perfect reason to live here. And that is you can grow veges most of the year. I never used to be a grower. This is only my second season, but I am totally addicted to the satisfaction of watching my garden grow and feed me.

Here are some pictures of my gardens progress. Its not even december and my cherry tomatoes are over head height and have tomatoes almost ripening. Cucumbers are charging and I get a large bowl of mixed lettuce every week, and have been since the start of October.

This blog has been inspiration, I want to make honey after reading a few posts back, I hope all the growers out there are having a good season and those who don’t get into to it. Its so easy and cheap to grow I really wonder why more people don’t do it.

Ripe tomatoes….
