Turns out you can do a mix of Seville and Navel oranges in a Seville orange marmalade. I only had to add 3 to make up the weight too.

When Wellington busts out a sunny day but you’ve got a killer dead arm from your Shingrex vax, the right thing to do is sit in the sun and eat lemon sherbet doughnut right? #TGIF 🇳🇿

It’s been a bit of a week. The Shingrex vax is a good one but I had quite a bold reaction to it. Maybe it’s from having shingles in the past? Anyway today I picked myself some Autumn flowers and had an afternoon kip. Hope you all did something nice for yourselves too? 🌱🇳🇿 #Aotearoagardens

Up in my veggie garden there’s an old seat settled amongst a profusion of wild mombretia irises and a jumble of summer flowers. Intentionally chaotic, it’s my favourite thinking place. #AotearoaGardens 🇳🇿🌱

So this happened. Very little seeds and tomato jelly but was juicy and delicious on crackers - almost more like a fruit than a tomato. Yes, it was a conjoined triplet!

@kats-garden.nz My 12 Jersey Benne’s gave me 3kg of delicious, decent sized potatoes. So stoked! One of my 3 bags produced spuds with warty skins. Anyone know what that is? I wondered about psyllid damage?

Looks! This is my first home grown potato from my first potato plants. I can report we divided it in 3 pieces, smothered it in butter and salt and it was small but epic. Can’t wait for Christmas now!

#AotearoaGardens 🇳🇿 my tomato plant has gone curly and droopy and basically looks fucked. I put it outside last week for an hour of sunshine and the merest zephyr of breeze. I think I’m death to tomatoes! Is there any hope?
