  2. Gotta say Tania......you've got one massive front yard!!
    Once again another post choc full of great garden produce and your makes......you have been busy.
    Never thought of you getting foggy mornings in Winter!
    What would be the lowest daytime temp there during WInter?

    It started off a real pea souper this morning, but the fog has disappeared and the sun is shining and it's just gorgeous. The fog this morning was as thick as the smoke during the bushfires of 2003.Back then the only way I could cope with it was by pretending that the smoke was actually fog and it was Winter time........

  9. That is quite a bit of fog! Your husband sure had his hands full! He did a perfect job. And you are keeping busy with your veg/fruit.

    My daughter talked my ear off, yesterday, as to how she wants to move to australia when she gets older! (I told her she can't even afford to visit let alone move! ha)
    love,andrea

  10. Looking at what your front yard consists of I am even more amazed that you can grow vegetables there! It is sooo different to my climate.

  11. I had to drive through that fog! I couldn't see five feet in front of me and I lost my sense of direction! I didn't like it.
