It’s a pretty time of year.

🫛🍋🥬 Limes, lemons, sugar snap peas, beans, chilli’s and the last sweet peppers and guavadillas, growing amongst lettuce, spinach, growing brassicas and plenty of herbs - after all it is winter, and the leaf’s - love the cool season.

The aloes are spectacular, the bee’s are buzzing - have to share their splendour. V busy studying their thorn intel - yes every aloe has a different thorn colour variation 🤩

Been a while 🌧️⛈️🌊🌧️ another storm pulled in which caused severe flooding in our area - 2 big rain storms one after the other, we came out ok - a few trees down, electricity out for 21 days, but our dams are over flowing - the entire Garden Route river system fresh and renewed 🩵 mass water may be devastating, but such a blessing too.

Decided to harvest my 2026 turmeric🤩🫚🧡 With over 500mm rainfall within a month, the turmeric seemed to have died back faster (100% yellowed leaves). I have had better harvests, but still a decent amount for us to use and to share. Snapped the rhizomes off the mother root - the rhizomes we shall grate and drink with our morning tonic (our favourite natural inflammatory) and the mother roots - plant.

Otherwise the aloes are beginning to bloom masses of fiery colour, attracting the birds and bees. We now have 6 new sweet springy baby lambs and harvesting sweet peppers, Rattlesnake beans, snap peas, chillies, spinach, lettuce, coriander, thyme, oregano, kale and red mustard.

One of my favorite times of the year where lettuce pop up like weeds - a never-ending salad supply.

The peacan nuts are ripening 👏 When their leather jackets begin splitting it’s a sure sign to harvest quickly before the baboons get the them!

This morning captured the first Rosella Bangkok flower bud, mulched the Elephant garlic bed and harvested a good amount of peppers to whizz up for another chilli sauce - the family’s favourite go to 🌶️🥰 constantly stockpiling!

Our animals of course, love Saturdays too 🐾☺️ - a day always well spent in the garden 💚🌱

The tomatoes are still giving 🍅❤️ The Costalatu Fiorentino’s are resilient - as long as you keep feeding them - they give back. A kelp feed is my go to for everything and of course topping up with compost and mulching. Lots of chillies, winter seedlings, lemongrass, flowering lemon verbena and kale popping up all over.

Knocked down my old greenhouse and building a new one!! Super excited 🤩 it’s a timeous affair. Given these beautiful old Cape Dutch windows and painting them funky colours. July is D-month. With a birthday stash - bought the roofing, now got to get my hubby to build the basic structure.

Yes, I do absolutely love sowing and planting by the moon in an open pollinated garden, but it would be glorious to get my summer seed sown early in winter so I get a longer harvest.

Lets see 🥰💚

‘Here, harvest is not merely yield—
it is the story of the ground,
of seasons turning, loss and gain,
of life in quiet cycles found.’

Guavadillas and tamarillos, ongoing peppers and tomatoes, chilli sauce, chutneys, lamb rib rolls, baby sitting Sweetpea 💗 and autumn beach days 🌅 - love the weekends ❤️
