I havent picked any zucchini's yet but hopefully in the couple of weeks i will be, lettuces almost ready to, flowers on my cucumbers green tomato's on the bushes. Ive had to pay for Doctors but not pathology. No bulk billing clinics down this way which isnt really good.

I may spend the day soaking in a cool bath :) We would never survive without the garden, it saves us a fortune on veggies and we eat a much better variety. I've planted more peas and beans to replace the ones that are getting to the end of their productive life. Lots of packets in the freezer for winter - makes me feel good. If I get enough beans from the next plants I'm going to bottle them. Mum always bottled beans and froze peas and the beans were delicious in winter. I have lots of tomatoes coming on, the next few hot days might help to ripen them.<br /><br />If all goes according to plan, next week will be easy, just pottering to finish off Christmas bits and bobs and delivering gifts - I like that part :)Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-16242652972929606552015-12-16T17:21:28.983+11:002015-12-16T17:21:28.983+11:00It was over a few weeks Karen.

I'm watching the egg plant and capsicum, I'll be making moussaka soon :). Homegrown asparagus - lovely! Now they're producing you'll have them for years and years. I'm very grateful for Medicare at the moment Karen, our budget would be completely shot if I had to pay for everything.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-55375486170184973492015-12-16T06:46:22.421+11:002015-12-16T06:46:22.421+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jane Jerebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675123950152966800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-53733794695743124012015-12-15T22:04:31.506+11:002015-12-15T22:04:31.506+11:00Dear Cath, that was a busy week. That sounds like ...Dear Cath, that was a busy week. That sounds like a lot of tests and doctor visits i hope you are ok amd nothing serious? From what some of the ladies from overseas write to me all those tests could possibly have been a huge cost, thousands even. Yes i agree so thankful you could have them here fro free.<br />Your vegies look beautiful and to me especially the peas! <br />It is very hot here now and a terribly hot night so i hope this doesn't come your way! Have a good next week in the lead up to Christmas, with love, Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-89324108874749822492015-12-15T20:58:22.410+11:002015-12-15T20:58:22.410+11:00Wow Cath you've had a really busy time to and ...Wow Cath you've had a really busy time to and accomplished a lot. Your vegies look amazing, i cant wait to pick our zucchini's. I have had to buy asparagus for the last couple of months and im very happy about that. With all those Doctors visits i hope your ok. Just going through something myself with quite a few doctors visits, blood tests and getting cut into. Not fun. Stay Well Cath xoxo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
