Hello friends,

Autumn is well and truly upon us, and the harvests are coming in thick and fast.

My grapes have already been harvested.

And my mandarins are now being harvested too.

I also managed to harvest my pumpkins before our first frost on the 24th of April.

And it's now peak feijoa season, which means picking up feijoas off the ground before the birds get to them, and them giving them away to anyone who wants them because there's a glut.

I love the bounty of fruit and vegetables this time of the year, the challenge is to process them as they come in so that the food doesn't gooff while sitting in our fridge.

Have a wonderful day

Julie-Ann
