plovers - masked lapwing

 

 

Late July (Winter) and these two little sqwarkers have moved in - right on the edge of the driveway!

Some bricks have been placed near the nest to stop anyone from accidentally driving over them.

The mum and dad take it in turns to sit on the eggs.

Tomatoes! PDF Print E-mail

2008-03_tomatoes

The free packet of Diggers seeds gave us a colourful crop of tomatoes - Green stripey tigerellas, Black krim, yellows, lots of cherry tomatoes. I swapped some cherry tomato seedlings for a friends big red Gross Lisse. Some self seeded tomatoes came up near the fence and produced the best crop - they would have been a supermarket bought hydroponic ones.

The Black Krim variety was excellent.
