Frost

Today we had the first frost in our garden for this year. So Roy and I went down to the kitchen garden to rescue the lettuce just after dawn.



A quick light spray of cold water and all's well. Has to be done before the sun hits them. I told Roy not to walk on the lawn, but he ignored me.






In the middle of winter our Banana Passionfruit is still cropping


The daffies are out and so are the wild iris
For those of you in nether regions, this time of the year is the equivalent of the middle of January in the UK and northern hemisphere



The bush hens must have cold feet




....and of course we have the clear blue skies with snow on our near neighbour, Mount Wellington


Wind sculpted ice on the mountain



To put the mountain in perspective - here it is from Battery Point, where we used to live when we first  came down here. We can see this mountain from our front garden and from the bedroom verandah
