Last time we went up to Hukatere, we could harvest two things. The first one were our peas. There wasn't a huge amount, but it was fun getting them off the plants, and shell them. And we decided to not even bother cooking them. They were so fresh and delicious that we just snacked on them - yum!

I was amazed how sudden my small dill plant shot up and grew!
But what to do with loads of dill? I just harvested it all, chopped it down, and then froze it in ice cube trays. That way we will have dill for a while. The amount we got out if it would cost a fortune in the supermarket here!
this is A LOT!
and all nicely put in ice trays, now frozen in the freezer :)
Remember our first dwarf cauliflower? Looked good last time, but this time we saw that it really went a bit haywire! I don't think we'll end up with homegrown cauliflower this year, haha!
the broccoli does better though :)
the rhubarb does well, too
the tomatoes keep growing!
lots of tomatoes there already.
But we are having very bad weather with loads of rain
at the moment - I hope they'll survive!
Everything is just growing like mad. The silver plants on the right are shooting much higher than I had expected, and the cape gooseberry grew massively as well.

That palm was not doing well at all, but suddenly it developed a whole bunch of new leaves (the inner "circle")
and at home my banana chillies are doing well, too!
