Greens in the garden and the paddocks.

What a beautiful time in the garden when the pumpkins are ripening, the first broccoli are ready to pick and the greens are starting to grow lush.  After that long dry summer it feels as though the earth is able to breath again and green shoots are starting to appear in the paddocks. It’s the best time for observation, the ground that has been left with some cover on (if only dry grass) is full of fresh shoots being kept moist by the dew and the mulch, indents in sandy soil where seeds, moisture and dry plant matter have collected are turning green and the Kikuyu is readying itself to raid a new patch of ground.

and to top all there’s baby chicks……….
