It has been quite a while since I posted, and much has happened! We have planted some heritage apple trees that we grafted just before we moved, and they are adapting to their new home. I have fixed the broken panes in the glasshouse, and last week made many jars of tomato chutney! And the one apple tree that was here when we came has had a bumper crop this summer. There are elderberries in the freezer, and a crabapple and elderberry jelly is planned! The rhythm of life in town is slightly different, the space for gardening is smaller, but all of it is deeply satisfying.

AuthorSteve Mitchell has had a varied and busy career including stints as a carpenter and builder, police constable, air traffic controller, commercial pilot and businessman, almost always more than one thing at the same time. Seeking a simpler life, he came to Bluff, the southernmost town in New Zealand, and for the first five years lived simply and happily in a 115 year old historic home, with half an acre of developing garden and orchard. Now very happily married to the most amazing lady, Steve lives in nearby Invercargill, gardening, photographing and playing music. He still works in the Aerospace Industry, and he is very grateful to his Creator! Categories
