Now that the weather has cooled down I can get back out into the garden, and oh boy, does it ever need some attention - the vege patch particularly.
Today I ripped out the tomatoes, lettuce, celery and about three hours of weeds.
My bad - the weeds had flowered and I could see their seeds scattered all over the ground :( means there are going to be a lot more weeds coming back :( My own fault, I didn't keep them under control.
Tomorrow I will dig the area over and plant the pea seedlings and bean seeds I bought today.
I have good results from beans in the past, so I'm looking forward to them.
With the peas I generally find they get powdery mildew (or whatever the equivalent for peas is) pretty quickly, so I'll try get them to grow and fruit fast.
I just love picking fresh peas and beans and eating them fresh off the plants, can't wait!

I love eating peas fresh from the plant as well. Almost like candy, no?
I love eating peas out of the pod too! I can't wait until planting season here - we're still getting frost at night sometimes right now.
mmm..yummy...I'm inspired..
I've been picking the last of my capsicums...fillet and grill with anchovy and olive oil or tapenade or whatever hasn't run out in the fridge...nummy. Dahl, if you get a chance, can you please check out the shrub that attracts the monarch butterfly (post of 260406 at Feminoz) - Cape Jervis is dry and hot, so maybe you have that bush in WA? I am trying to find out what it is. More pics of your garden please!!
Sorry Ozfemme, I have no idea what that bush is.
If you find out let me know, I'd love to have more butterflys.
