Paddy's Garden

Paddy wishes everyone a happy new year. Just don’t look outside – it’s 40 ºC (104 ºF) here at the moment!

We got some beans off the vines just before the hot weather really kicked in.

These crazy brussel sprouts are still growing!

We’ve had to do a bit of emergency watering around the place to keep things from burning up

The chilis are looking a bit shrunken, probably from lack of water?

Paddy is mad because we’ve had a visit from a mouse. It ate the only two scarlet runner beans on the plant and left us a turd in gratitude 🙁

So we chill our and smell the coriander instead…
