All up there was 5.741Kg of fruit and veg collected :D

Here it is broken down

Tomatoes- 2.08kg
Cherry tomatoes- 2.05kg
Strawberries- 52g
Swiss Chard (silverbeet)- 183g

Capsicum- 407g
Rhubarb- 72g
Fig- 134g
Beans- 18g

Onion- 23g
Raspberry- 3g

So far still no zuccini or cucumbers forming, however there is one female flower on the pumpkin yet to open. I made an error in the last post, in the raised bed i planted carrots not corn....lol.....however all the carrots, parsnips and beetroot have emerged. As well as half the onions and most of the broccoli. The weather is aweful! I have missed having a hot summer, it makes gardening that much harder!

As for the rainfall for February......drumroll please......



in excess of (my rain measurer thing was overflowing one day).....

The average for february is 48mm!!!!

Anyway, we have been eating lots of yummy raspberrys and the garden seems to be holding pretty well, all things considered.
