Scallopini
This is a seed line I have had for a while. When you live with the same plant over a series of years it changes.
I have been selecting this plant for disease resistance and vegetable shape. I start out with over ten plants and then once they have all fruited rogue out the traits I do not want.
Over the years the vegetable has become the way I like Scallopini's.

Butternut
These Butternut will always be in my garden. They are great producing, tasting and keep a long time.
I start craving them around March when we sneak a few.

Fejoa
It is always fun anticipating the next fruit to ripen.
In the past we would raid neighbor Fejoa hedges. We are going to be able to raid our own this year.
Most of our fruit is planted along our driveway so we pass it everyday.
Rocket tea
Our rocket stove travels everywhere with us.
There is fuel to be found anywhere so a cup of tea or mug of soup is never far away.
We keep it in an old wooden box in the back of the van with a dry fire lighting kit.
