Ours has been seriously neglected since before the frosts even started, and still has the sad carcasses of tomato and zuchinni plants strewn through it. Silverbeet and masses of self seeded parsley are of course going strong, but aside from that it's looking rather pathetic. It sure looks better than mine.

HUZZAR for meridian lines or whatever teh ancient knowledge is attributed to!

The first moth turned up while I was still planting, which had the Bloke and I swearing a bit about giving us a fair shake of the sauce bottle etc etc. I suspect they haven't returned because it got too cold. The cabbage moths have probably gone inside to sit by a fire like nearly everyone else around here. The spinach is good too, we're picking a few leaves here and there, but I neglected the beans and they got done by frost. I did manage to get some weeding done the other day and rediscover the parsley. Oh, and the broad beans are up, which always makes me feel better, spring will come, spring will come, spring will come...
