Enjoying the sun

We are back in New Zealand. The weather is warm and my garden seems to have survived.
Lots of weeds, and some of the veges took a beating, but overall it has survived quite well.
The lettuces had almost all gone to seed, though there were a few still good in the shady corners.
The basil and chillies were having a hard time amongst the weeds, but the pak choi and cabbages are doing well.
The scarlet runner beans haven't started producing beans yet, thought they are covered with flowers.

The summer squash has just started to produce, and it looks like I can look forward to a lot more.

 

Lots of flowers around. The hydrangeas are covered with flowers.

 

As are the dahlias

 

I started some fresh perennial chili pepper plants a year ago as my old plants, which are about 8 years old, are starting to give up. These new plants are covered in flowers and have a few dozen green fruit on them as well. We shall make good use of them.

The purple podded bean plants had a few over mature beans on them. I'm hoping that by picking off all the beans they'll produce a fresh batch of flowers, and keep going.

 

The tomatoes are doing well and we are eating the first of them.

 

 

Now that we are back we can keep it all going. Have already started a new round of seeds to fill the gaps. So with regular rain we should be able to keep eating out of the garden for the next few months until we are off again.
