Bumble bees
Why did the bumble bees ignore my scarlet runner bean plants for the first week of flowering?
Jack was not involved …
What colours can bees see? Do they like all flowers equally? Buzz buzz buzz. I wonder why they does!
Masses of tomatoes!
Oh-oh, my tomato triffids have turned into a tomato forest!
Eggplant extravaganza
I only planted two eggplant plants this season. Just as well. One small plant has produced dozens of small eggplants. I have never seen anything like it.
I need to see a tomato shrink
Tomatoes with nipples. True!
Asparagus tip
Should you cook asparagus lying flat in a frying pan? It gets a bit cramped if you’re in the pan as well as the asparagus!
In the garden: My first summer zucchini
I may be in for growing another monster zucchini … I just have the feeling!
In the garden: Springtime is giving way to summer
Twinkling like mini jewels!
In the garden: Garlic
Garlic is easy to grow … there are just a few pointers to watch for.

Mulch. Mulch. Mulch. The magic word.

My potato bag journey has got off to a cracking pace … let’s hope it delivers in time for Christmas.

In the garden: Chillies in or out?
Chilli plants can keep growing and producing fruit for a couple of years. The chillies get hotter!
In the garden: Eggshells!
If you are a gardener, keep eggshells, crunch them up and sprinkle on top of the soil to deter slugs.

The garden doesn’t dig itself, I’ve noticed. Nor does anyone come along and pick up all the weeds I chuck on the ground.
In the garden: Taking out broccoli
Auckland spring weather is often wet and warm and things grow like topsy (whatever that means … I think it means very fast!), so I’m on it!
