Well it's been 19 busy days since my last post.. We've been eating onions, beans, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden. I planted purple beans that turn green as you cook them. They were delicious and are still growing. The olives and mangoes are growing steadily, as is my lone pomegranate :) . My Tahitian limes are quite large but still a dark green.. I'm not sure whether to harvest them as they are darker than the ones in the shops. My native plants look very well adjusted to their conditions.

Garden progress aside, I've been having lots of barbeques and enjoying the view of the garden from our porch. It's very dry here so it is sad to see the lawn drying and dying, but we can't waste our water...! I've also spent a lot of time reading on the porch (and ducking inside when scary people walk past). My chicken is broody so we are going to organize to get a fertilized egg for her to have a baby. And that's all that's going on in my neck of the woods! ^_^ Hope everyone is having as much fun ! xoxo
