This was one of the first two plants we put in, and I absolutely love watching it grow.
Here is a reminder how it looked like when we got it in September 2009:
Enjoying the winter sun at 25 degrees - bliss!
This is an interesting one. You can see our bach on the right side, tucked away under the large pine trees.
I love fog days! Often, the valley is filled with fog, and on our ridge it is clear. However, this time, the fog even came up to our land. Not long and the sun has it all burnt off...
It was the first time that I saw the fog even passing over the ridge and going down into the forest.
The sun breaks through, and the fantail loves it :)
The valley is almost clear, except for the water...
Our big harvest this year: One (1!) lemon. The plant didn't do too well, and the rest was done by possums. I never thought they'd like lemons, but you can often clearly see the tooth marks in the half eaten lemons they leave on the ground - grrrr!
Our toi toi are doing very well. And they started spreading all over the place - lovely!
Another first: In my many years in New Zealand, this was the first time I have seen a stick insect! This one was on the shed door.
