Bannana harvest
The rain seems to have helped the bannana's this year 18 in total. Some are all but I didn't cut the flower head off that bunch early enough.
Not much really but they grow wild on te block next door. I'll try and give them some more attention this year and see if we get a better yeild next year.

Volunteers helping out in the Garden
Had some Volunteers help out in the garden all morning this morning. All I had to do was feed them, They did a great job cleaning up the many catapillers that have come out this year with all the growth.
Yep a bunch of little sparrows showed up and have been working tirelessly all morning eating green caterpillars. They get right into the Tomato and bean bushes and then pop out to devour there catch. This really is working with nature!
This encourages me to plant some bushes in the corner that will attract insect eating birds. Apparently spiky sort of plants that offer them protection are the go. Not gravilliers etc as they attract the honey eaters and wattle birds who chase the insect eaters like finches and sparrows away.

Rercord bean harvest
The bean harvest really has been amazing this year! Just this week I have picked 3 shopping bags full. Been giving them away at work and to friends now have a bag full out the front of the house for people to take.
