    I picked red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, wong bok, pak choi, celery and lettuce. It's winter here in New Zealand so plenty of brassica.

    That sounds yummy - I call those haskap things honey berries! I have a bush (planted this year) and it hasn't fruited - I was told it was self fertile - should I get another next year? x

    Mum has been promising blackberries for an age but I think the yellow plums will be ready long before they are.

    My zucchini is the only thing that is ready at the moment. My lettuce is done. Oh and I have green onions any time I need them.

    I planted two bushes, two years ago... one said it was honey berries, the other said haskap berries. Apparently they are the same family and the leaves look almost the same, although one of the bushes is supposed to get larger in size. The berries themselves are the same oblong shape, but one is a brighter blue and sweeter (think wild blueberry) while the other berry is darker more similar to saskatoons. Sadly I have lost track which is which.

    I had berries on both last year, but this year only the bright blue, sweet berries. Nothing on the other bush although it looks healthy. Weird growing year for my area though, much drier than normal, gardens not happy.

    Beautiful pics! I picked a few handfuls of cherry tomatoes, a zucchini and yellow squash, a bell pepper and some basil for a pasta salad. Oh, and a few various herbs for the dressing. This past weekend I cleaned my Apricot tree of all the fruit (started to go bad due to extreme humidity), set it up for winter use. I'd say in a few weeks I'll do the same to my Plum Tree. Also, been picking Raspberries every day since July 4th. Have about 8 quarts stored in the freezer. :)

    I'm jealous - I'd love to grow apricots but I'm not sure we have the weather here x
