Let’s be a bit brighter!

March 15, 2015 By SandRa Timmins Leave a Comment

Thinking about our change of circumstances can get me down so here’s some nice bright photos!

Check out this whopper!  This is a Sweet Virginia heirloom tomato that I’m saving the seed for for Kapiti Seedbank.  I should’ve taken a photo of it on my hand so you could get a scale of the thing!  And my scales ran out of batteries so couldn’t weigh it.  Biggest tomato I’ve grown anyway…

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Otaki kite festival, I’d never been before and it was magical!
