Harvesting Pumpkins

Braved the beautiful (ahem) weather on Wednesday to do some gardening and harvested the pumpkins and laid down a cardboard and carpet for 1/3 of the front garden.
The Harvest: pumpkins pumpkins, pumpkins!!! Lots of roasted pumpkins, pumpkin soup, mmm yum.

Cardboard and Carpet, just need to mulch over with straw and cut grass and prep for spring.

Mama Fern's Tamarillo is sleeping on the job. We had a little wind in NZ the last week.

Raspberry canes transported from our friend's raspberry patch. About 50 of them in all.
  Papa Sam out.

TTK at Sustainable Home and Garden Show

Andrew Rundle-Keswick, Samuel Campbell, Fern Campbell and Paul Bruce.
Just a short update. We were at the sustainable home and garden show a few weeks ago. Talking to lots of people about transitioning their homes and community, as well as helping re-build communities to increase local resilience.

Despite the fact that it rained on and off most of the weekend (aside from the torrential downpour on Sunday afternoon), we had a great weekend, and met a whole bunch of really lovely local people.
