This rose bush has been amazing...it keeps flowering and flowering. I pick the dead heads off and a week later there area million more buds and gorgeous flowers...the garden seems to be a haven for rose bushes and over the past few weeks we have bought about 8 of them from the Warehouse...on special of course...just got two more today for $5 each.
OK...so these are not ripe yet but we are excited to get our first decent crop of blueberries ...there will be good cupful if the birds don't get them first!
Our corn has been amazing, there must be at least 20 or more cobs that are all a good size. I think we will eat our first ones tomorrow for lunch and see if they are as tasty as I anticipate they will be. These grew from a punnet of corn from the Warehouse..brilliant!!
Who is this wee green fellow...yes, there is one fine looking passion fruit hiding on the vine...in fact it was Mum or Dad who spotted it, we hadn't even seen it. It will get the royal treatment and will be put on a pav when it is ready to eat.
Of course what post would be complete without a photo of Stellar...she is struggling with the heat today despite me having filled up her paddling pool, she has been in there for a splash and is now lazing round inside with her friend.R has finished stripping all the wallpaper in what will become "the green room". He has done an amazing job and killed a few braincells sniffing the paper removing paste stuff...it stinks!! He has been sanding this afternoon and I might get going on the undercoat tomorrow maybe if the plaster has been sanded etc...very exciting!!
We have a couple of DVDs to watch tonight, Eagle Eye and Taken..two action/thrillers and we will enjoy them while munching on homemade BBQ'd burgers. Yum.

Your garden is looking sweet. Lots of tasty homegrown produce to get into over the next few weeks. We are gearing up for some serious harvesting once the tomatoes and spuds come right! Good on Mr RTS for the massive effort in preparing the spare room for painting - I know just how fun that job is!

Hey, thanks for the invite tonight, am slobbed out here with the fan blowing and not sure I could move far, even if I wanted to! I love the rose - our Burgundy Iceberg does the same thing and smells delicious. I must check our corn to see if it's nearing readiness for eating. Yum.
Enjoy the DVD's tonight. M
Ate the first little cherry tomato today. I'm so proud! Stinking hot. My black shadow is at my feet, and has been sticking as close as possible all afternoon. Wish I could watch DVDs with you lot. XXX
