Monster Strawberries

Hello! Midweek been and gone!
Not much happening today at Norwich House! The wind was insane – it was hard to work outside. I get skittish!
I did manage to pick another 600 grams of strawberries! Some of them were pretty big too!!

Sweet Handful
(About 20 oz)

I had to do an emergency netting yesterday – then went back and re weighted it down as the wind was blowing it everywhere

A few of the corn stalks had been nibbled (Probably one of our possums) so I needed to try to protect them a bit more

Thankfully not too many had been wrecked. I think the animal was just doing some random samples

The zucchini and pumpkins are getting to be a much better size… I am even seeing some flowers

Poor beans were getting blown about today so I also made a bit of a makeshift shadecloth windbreak
Things looking pretty good overall
Liliums close to blooming – be nice if the wind dropped so they could bloom and not be shredded!!

Must get back into the ever needed weeding tomorrow (in between strawberry milkshakes!! 🙂  )

Cheers
