Vege patch lovin'

I'm loving all the produce coming out of our vege patch at the moment, although I am having trouble keeping up with preserving those tomatoes! This is todays harvest, as well as yesterdays preserves.

We've been harvesting tomatoes, beans, beetroot, capsicum, silverbeet, rocket, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, the odd apple, a few lemons and chillis.
 The vege patch is the only green area of the whole place- it is so dry and we really need rain to green our pastures.

I'm so pleased because we also have local raw honey, local lamb and beef, and our own chicken which we dispatched recently.  This week the co-op order is coming which will stock us up with organic grains, flours, nuts and dried fruit. No supermarket required for me for a while :)
