Vege Garden Update after xmas hols

Well I was midely surprised that the vege patch survived both the heat and the eldest treatment.  I know she is no gardener.....

The corn is now around 2-3 feet high, hopefully it get bigger - i'n not sure how tall it should grow.

The pumpkin is looking good - no flowers yet but i'm hoping.

We have picked a few tomatoes from the tigrella bushes.  They are not as large a tomato as I thought they would be.  Maybe not enough water or nutrints in the soil???

We did lose a strawberry plant due to the heat - oh well it was a number of years old and in the same pot.  And I think one of the rhubarbs is dead.  It got chewed even before we went away.

The spuds are nearly ready for harvesting, I think.  At least the bushes are going yellow, but 1 has started to reshoot!!

We have an old birds nest fern down the sideway - it has severe sunburn on most of it's fronds the poor thing.  Hopefully it will be ok.

Not much hot weather this week.  I hope those affected by bushfires are all safe.
