  2. Oh wow you have been productive. That winter garden is amazing. We have not had any really hot weather yet but I am dreading it. I prefer winters here. We are very dry here too with very little rain the last couple of years.

  4. That really is a productive crop and a reminder for me to get on with some planting. Looking forward to next long weekend and no plans that take me away from the garden. Great Photos too.

  14. Hi Tania! The garden is looking great and your crochet is absolutely beautiful. I heard on the radio the other day that we'll have a wet winter over most of the nation. I hope you get some more of it. xx

  15. Hi Tania, I often check out the photos of your amazing garden. It is incredible that you can grow so much there. Pity about the water bill though but I am sure you are loving the rain now.

    Could you tell me if the red and white teapot cover was made by just joining up two granny squares? If it is, I think I can do that. LOL!

  16. Hi Nanna Chel, yes the teapot cosy is just two granny squares sewn together with some chain stitch for the ties.

    Easy peasy :)
