Finally we have zucchini...

 If you've been following along at home, you'll be aware that our vegetable garden has been destroyed by possums this year.

I was forced to build a basic vegetable cage for the zucchini and tomatoes and a couple of days ago we had the first zucchini of the season


the tomatoes are ripening nicely and we should have some by next week, and our one surviving pumpkin plant is flowering but has not yet produced any pumpkins.

I did get a single capsicum early in January but so far no chillies. Eggplants have been a complete non starter and the logan berries and raspberries were smashed by the rain in early December so I ended up leaving them for the birds.

All in all it's not been the best year but I plan to build some more elaborate vegetable cages over winter in the hope of doing better next year ...
