First habanero harvest from our yields 1.5 lbs (680 g). Not bad! We will have a lot of ghost peppers this year, and the Carolina reapers have finally set some fruit. Scotch bonnets may ripen next. I think I’ll make some fresh habanero salsa this weekend!

On today's blog I share with you how we processed our homegrown wheat plants into wheat seeds, and then onto making flour.

Some days I just find it really sad that NZ doesn’t have any gardening TV shows. I usually just go on YouTube and watch Gardeners World in the UK. I haven’t found yet any good NZ gardening channels on YouTube.

If you're a fan of growing herbs, I really recommend the variety Orange Scented Thyme from Kings Seeds. They didn't have any seeds of this in stock last year, and I was sad because I wanted to grow more of it.

The thyme has an aromatic spicy orange scent and a citrusy taste, and the thyme scent and flavor is milder than other thyme varieties.

We prefer it to other varieties. and if you dry it inside it makes your home smell amazing.

Yesterday was our first frost of 2023, and I was out in the garden desperately hoping the frost would take out my dahlia footage.

Now we're cooking!

I built this compost pile a couple of days ago and it's chugging a long nicely.

Hello friends,

I'm still recovering from sinus surgery last week (making progress, but getting stupid nose bleeds all the time, talking to my surgeon tomorrow).

Today's blog post is up, and is highlighting all my beautiful dinner plate dahlias.

Had a busy weekend processing 5 kg of pumpkins, and 13 kg of apples (which I got from swapping some of our excess pumpkins at our local FB vege and fruit swap group). Ended up giving my parents, and one of my sisters, 3 kg of apples each. Some of the apples got dehydrated, and the rest was steam juiced, giving us apple juice and also stewed apples.

I have so much to do this afternoon, but it's windy outside, and I need the wind to blow away the chaff from my wheat seeds.

After that step is done, can grind the wheat and make some bread 🤩

Anyone know what this is? It seems to overtake trees but is also spreading through the ground. Trying work out how to deal with it. Growing in Auckland, New Zealand.
