I was as excited as a child in a candy store this morning...several weeks ago I planted 30 small Pepperdew plants. I have eagerly watched them grow, develop flowers and finally bear loads of fruit which doesn’t seem to want to ripen! I am a rather impatient gardener and always expect things to happen after a few days so, much to my excitement I found my first red Pepperdew!
I also found the first teeny weeny pumpkin starting to develop, ladybirds have taken up residence on the eggplants, the cayenne pepper plants are doing well with the coriander and the baby corn are now ready to harvest!
My donkeys, Thelma and Louise, noticed me eating cherry guavas from the tree, which is laden with ripe fruit, and coaxed me with squeaks and grunts to bring them a treat! How could I resist?!
They already had the broccoli leaves this morning so I gave them a taste of the spinach...
Wow...it’s been a bumper day!!
We come from the earth.
We return to the earth.
And in between we garden!
