Monte and Georgie were in the garden, checking on things. Georgia was really excited, spotting new tomatoes, strawberries and zucchinis amongst the lush, fast growing crops. She also planted more carrots and beetroot. I smiled when I spotted these little zucchinis. Better get my favorite recipes out… Chocolate zucchini cake, zucchini slice and pasta sauce, […]

The weather is starting to get rather beautiful, and […]
