Honey


Our stash for the year.

Liquid gold. It is a currency we trade with regularly with all of our friends and family.

Harvest bowl


My new harvest bowl. Thanks Mike O'Donnell.

To honor the bowl with garden harvest or was that to honor the harvest with a beautiful woodfired clay vessel built with that in mind.

It graces our table at most meals with harvest.

I have just used it to sort my broad seeds.

Guava


Chillean Guava are a great in between fruit.

These ones are in between my citrus and are fruiting heavily in their first season.

They are growing with an annual understory of
Kamo kamo. The Kamo kamo act as a screen so that there are some Guava left when I go foraging.
