Vege planter prepped for summer: 10 pea seedlings, 4 heritage tomato seedlings, corn and beetroot sown in front. Space for up to 6 pumpkins to trail over the front when germinated, and melons are sown directly into compost around to the side out of shot 🌱 #gardening #gardensky

I found a photo of some the crop from 2015! They are musquee, mystery ironbark variety I don't remember what, musqee x2, ironbark x2, musquee, and Galeux D'Eysines. The pumpkin painting was done by a friend of my parents in 1977.

I have found seeds and now know what this arvo entails.

Had vanilla mascapone icing left after the school bake-sale, so I made the chocolate cake from @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.socialmbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social Color Taste Texture to help use it up! Some neighbours came to help us with eating it and loved it too.

I very rarely remember my dreams. Last night I dreamed of making bread, which I have not done for years. So this morning I made focaccia.

I have a cold, so felt like a healthy lunch: brown rice and quinoa kedgeree with leftover salmon, egg and sorrel. A hit with the whole family.

I know things are grim, so a small timeline cleanse for the few who will see this. It's a beautiful day in Ahuriri-Napier, and things can still feel hopeful.

Well out of practice, but here goes

Hawke's Bay xmas: veuve, rose, gravalax, cold ham, salad, extra green goddess dressing and lemon sandwiches. Home grown corgettes, lemons, red onion and lettuce.

27° and we're going for a swim soon. #kikorangi #cooking

Aurora australis in Napier/Ahuriri! We took the munchkin out to see, I hope he remembers.
