My incredibly late kale and broccoli actually has a chance of developing into something! And I love that I am picking raspberries in late October.

The long drought put all our brassicas into a sort of stasis. We've had some rain, at last, in the last 10 or 12 days and the grass has turned green, the weeds are flourishing and th ebrassicas have perked up. We've had one head of broccoli and are waiting to see if the Savoy and pointy cabbages produce anything edible.

Been out of action with Covid for a week, first time I've succumbed, but managed to pick about 2kg of tomatoes and cleared out the rest of the peppers and most of the chillies today.

I'm picking calabrese at the moment, which is a bit of a worry as I've never sown any - but it's definitely calabrese that's cropping!

I went to do a bit of clearing in the jungle this morning and found a squash and four cucumbers. Bonus!
