It's been a long week, and I won't be home to enjoy my garden on the weekend as I'm going away. I did find time to rake up lots of leaves and found some greenish native hummingbirds in the hedge. I chased some parrots with my mobile phone camera, trying to take their photos.

We bought a larger fridge so that we can learn to preserve our garden produce which is exciting. The extra vegetables had sometimes gone to waste as we have been learning to grow things. My little old fridge that I bought in 1999, which survived 4 share houses and knew the eating habits of 24 people intimately, will be traded in. Have any of you used a food dehydrator, and would you reccommend it? I could sun-dry food just as well, just wondered how it compares.

I'm worried about my kumquat bonsai - I will have to ask Slimezilla for the pre-bonsai talk that I never had! Its soil is sometimes dry when I check it, and I have no idea how to look after it. If any of you remember the karate kid, the above pic is Mr Miyagi's bonsai room..
