It’s been about two months since I planted some fancy dancy seeds and I am glad to update that we have some progress.

The Silver Fern failed to spout but I have about six Manuka Tea Tree Leptospermum scoparium
seedlings:

and about the same from the Guava seeds I planted. They are very small, I hope they survive the cooler weather:

The best news is that my Scarlet Runners are producing faster than we can pick and eat!

Sorry to all my readers who have been checking in to find no updates for some while. It’s been a crazy few months with the selling of our home and the exciting news of the ‘almost’ purchase of a new home!

While again we’ll be sad to leave here, it’s become a little easier to accept as our new ‘almost’ home has the most gorgeous garden on half an acre in a small rural community about 300 yards from the ocean! The current owner is a horticulturalist and has landscaped the property beautifully. There is also a lovely kitchen garden with a peach tree we think, and I’m really hoping I’ll be able to grow my beans there.

Here are a few photos from the listing:

I’m a little nervous at the idea of taking on such a large garden with so many plants.  I asked the owner (through the realtor) if she would mind taking on a walk through before they leave and she has agreed.  I only hope that I can do her proud!
