Winter is on it's Way

The last week or so has been very wet and cold with a polar blast moving up the  country, reminding us that Winter is most definitely on it's way.  Our mountain ( Mt Taranaki) had its first snow of the year and it was a pretty good dusting!

The vege plot has halted its growth and the rest of the garden is looking rather sad and waterlogged. We will be pulling out the tomatoes and zucchini plants in the next week or so to make way for some winter crops. I will certainly miss the produce until our next crops come in. 

I have retreated indoors, not much gardening has gone on since the cool weather arrived. I've traded my gumboots for ugg boots for the time being. Hey, I'm sure the plants would prefer to be indoors too if they had a choice!
