Garden Update

We finally had a hot day so one of our tomatoes changed from green to reddish, still not ripe though.
Yellow squash is coming on like crazy. We'll have lots of squash to eat and give away soon.
We love how the leaves form a protective canopy over the fruit.

We've added a passionfruit vine, capsicum plants, some vine tomatoes, and basil to the garden. None of it is doing much as the weather is simply not warm enough yet. We've just experienced the coolest, wettest November on record. Also some creature is eating the basil leaves so that's not good. We put out snail pellets. I am looking forward to insalata caprese from my own tomatoes and basil so I hope the pellets do the job.

Hai...... here you don't experience the lack of sunlight, but our garden has only a plantain. But we had peas, tomatoes etc. hope there will be enough sunlight for the tomatoes.
