Thankfully the radish attempts and the three carrots have survived sharing a home with those pesky WomBoks that bolted
On the plus side, a springtime dominated by gale force winds from the north does result in many chances to dry the towels and sheets outside
I do love the wonderful natural aroma that cotton sheets and towels dried out in the sun and wind have. It is well worth the battle to get each sheet and towel off the clothesline and into the clothes basket then inside in order to fold each one up in peace, with the opportunity to enjoy the fresh, nature given scent from each piece as I fold it. A scent of wind, and sunshine and of Wellington's clean air.I admit I am very spoilt to live in a city where the air pollution gets blown away daily by the every day wind gusts, blusters and weather squalls. I've lived here since my 4th birthday. It would take one heck of a lot to convince me to live anywhere else.
And you know that my much loved ZebbyCat lives here with me, I'm not moving anywhere without him, and he wont move to any other place in any way happily, so here we are, Mickle and Zebby in our Happy Home!

And all you have to worry about is earthquakes!
Full sympathy for NZers down in Christchurch - one and a half months on and they are still getting very sizable "after shocks". A 5.1 yesterday late morning followed by a few 4s.
That faultline that hadn't moved for 16000 years is sure making up for the movement "delay". Folks down there are just completely fed up with the jolts. 1500+ aftershocks would have me mightily fed up too.
The cooler spring weather has certainly given some plants a bit of a setback. Those windy days were also fantastic for getting blankets dry as well.
My parents moved at least once a year. I am settled in my house, and I will never move either! Fortunately, we're too far from "big cities" to get any real air pollution.
My eldest son is talking about bringing his girlfriend and her kitten for Thanksgiving. think Thor will enjoy a junior Zebbycat?
I feel for the people of Christchurch, they must be FED UP with all the rattle & rolling by now.
My garden is doing very well at the mo, strange because we haven't had much warm weather either. The broadbeans and peas are higher than I am. Come to think about that....they don't have much to beat...after all I'm only 5'3" LOL
Hope you get some warmer weather soon.
It's autumn here in London and our tomato plants are nearing their end - still got lots of ripening cherry tomotoes but the heritage tom has put out one mis-shapen fruit that is still obstinately green.
And it's cold enough out to move from jacket to coat and put on mittens! Lxx
Liz - try fried green tomato, or use the green tom in a stir-fry. Green toms sweeten on cooking but don't go all squishy. xxx from me and mumbling snores from Zeb.
Hi Michelle. Your stir fry sounds great. And I think that is so smart to have your garden contained in bins. I bet that helps a lot with slugs and such. Ahhh...I am breathing in the memory oh sun dried towels and sheets. When we lived in
Okinawa I was able to hang out that wash like that. It was my first experience at line drying and I loved it.
Take care and have a blessed day.
It's interesting hearing you talk about spring as here the temps are falling, the folige changing to red and yellow and the leaves are beginning to drop.
I think I am coming to see you! We had our first hard frosts yesterday and today in the UK!! Diane xx
Nothing like the smell of freshly laundered clothes brought in from the line.
Hope you & Zeb cat have a long and happy life together in your home.
