Visibility on Te Ahumairangi was pretty poor and Hauraro was whipping the blossoms off the trees this weekend so I picked all my remaining tulips and brought them inside to brighten up the day.🌱🇳🇿 #AotearoaGardens

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.
Jars of sunshine! 🥝 🇳🇿#Aotearoafoodies

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 🇳🇿

You need this stuff from Japanmart Dallas.
It goes in the fabric softener drawer in yr machine. Antibacterial and kills that smell completely. Fill the cap up to no.2 mark.

Need a good cry? Mozart’s requiem sung by Supertonic choir will be just what we need.

Do we need an Aotearoa baking feed? I think we might @dreddieclark.bsky.social

Here are our London Fog Cookies by Sheri Silver with Earl Grey tea and lavender infused butter.

Autumn flowers in the late afternoon sunshine. 🌱🇳🇿

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!

Giving my Rebel Starfighter Prime tomato some time in the sun today so these amazing tomato fruits can ripen. #Ididntkillit #rebelstarfightertomato #conjoinedtomatoes 🇳🇿🌱

Like the cheese, good things take time right? It’s been six or seven years waiting for this nutso Red Buttons Hoya to flower at our place but she’s finally done it! 🇳🇿🌸

When your Wellington summer garden finally starts to look like you imagined back in the depths of winter when you ordered your seeds.

For what it’s worth this is my submission to the Treaty Principles Bill. I’m no writer, but it is heart felt and at least I’ve done it. 🇳🇿

@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?

Light relief for your Sunday. 🇳🇿🥝
