A Holiday of Fads

On our return from Hobart, this was the sight of our backyard... well, the plant that had taken over half of it.


Our tomato plant had been going gang busters. So we basically ate tomatoes flat-out for a few days. Happily, our basil followed the tomato vine's lead. Bring on Jamie's mothership tomato salad!


So the first fad (for me at least!) of our return to Sydney was definitely gardening. It was pretty relaxing and really satisfying to make the garden bed out the front actually look presentable (it had become a mess).

Right now I'm watching my rockmelons (!) and eggplants germinate on the window sill. As a Tasmanian I'm actually thrilled at the very prospect of growing rockmelons... I was sharing my enthusiasm with a Queenslander; she didn't even flinch. What's the big deal? Rockmelons. That's the big deal.
