It is great to have a new camera at last. We went for a Lumix TZ10 so far it seems a good choice, I really like the Leica lens, the zoom range is excellent and it works well in low light and at macro. Its a bit more chunky / bulky and less slick looking that the Cybershot and the top buttons look a bit like last minute add-ons but it does feel good to use and has some great functions. GPS might come in handy it seems fairly accurate.
So here is our Hopi Indian blue maize shaping up well although we lost half the crop to cutworms early on so will be saving most of the produce as seed for next year. I now also have two pebbles from Big Sur where the Hopi live many thanks to my good friend Mr Moss.
Pebbles from Big Sur.
Squash plants are loving the old compost heap that is hiding under the ex paddling pool.
Tree clearing is going well, we have enough cut for the winter fuel and the rest are being stacked as 2.5 meter lengths, there are still a few hundred of them to cut and sort over the next few months. The old Delica is doing well as a tractor for hauling timber.
The self seeded sunflowers in the hen corral are flourishing some of them have 30+ flowers, the hens love the seed and so do the guinea pigs.
Guinea Pig 1. Blaster...
GP 2. Darling.
Passion fruit are starting to ripen although we were told they would not ripen here, they are against a wall that gets very warm. I saw passion fruits at 6 euros for 4 a few weeks ago so we will be growing many more I have another 40 or so seedlings coming up.
There is one of our PoundStretcher Gooseberry / Hibiscus plants.
These Sunburst Squash are supposed to be really nice and they do look pretty but I am not keen on them at all they are very prolific we have had to uproot several plants as we are overwhelmed with them and most go on the nearest compost heap.
Physalis is growing really well about 2 meters across and much bigger than we managed under glass in Cornwall, no shortage of fruit mostly hidden away in the centre.
We are hoping to have some helpers from http://www.helpx.net/ stay with us over the next few months to help us relocate some of the veg patch, stack some wood etc. Many hands make light work.
