In about two weeks it will be Autumn. Days will rapidly shorten, and the growing season will start to wane. So, even while we are enjoying the best of summer crops, I have been preparing for winter...here are carrots I sowed last month, along with radishes, which are very fast growing and ready now. The broccoli seedlings in the punnets are now also planted and growing well, and in the white trays in the soft focus distance are leeks which I will plant out this week. Winter crops all, they need to make the most of the remaining warm weather, as their growth will rapidly slow soon enough, hopefully ready for sustained winter harvest!

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
