I'm still here. I lost my blogging mojo somewhere for a week or so. It is becoming decidedly wintry here. It seems like the trees have shed most of their colour before I've really had a chance to appreciate it. Today it's wet and blustery out there and I've trying to dry two loads of washing. I've got the wood stove going and my lounge is full of damp clothes hanging from the ceiling. At least it means I'll be in for a nice roast dinner tonight. Nothing does a roast like that wood stove. It cooks everything so evenly that you don't even need to turn the veges in the roasting pan. They never stick and just fall apart when they're done. I think I'll try a stuffed pumpkin tonight with one of the smaller buttercup pumpkins I grew, and some baked apples for desert....
Speaking of winter, my winter garden is planted. Frost hardy varieties only like broccoli, cabbage, silver beet, and of course, broad beans. The vege bed in the photo below is built up with a load of free mulch. I thought I'd try it instead of pea-straw, because its... well, free. It pays to live next door to a professional arborist when it comes to composting.
