fruits de notre belle terre

2006.12.10

















These fruits belong to friendly plants that live and are growing in my garden. arent they doing well? i think that they are all growing very well. the temperature peaked at 37.6 degrees centigrade a few hours ago and has now settled at a comfortable 35.7- ahh, melbourne in december, surely a dragonfly christmas to come. :-)

In the garden we have pears, apples, crazy kiwifruit, stone fruit of unknown identity, fat yellow lemons, grapes and others which i'm not really sure of. perhaps plums?. The plants all enjoy this weather. our southern hemisphere christmas is a time of proliferative growth and ripening of plants, a time of year that I enjoy.

of these a favourite photograph of mine is the stonefruit with the red heart.

the kiwifruit which i found at the back of my garden are very unusual to me. in New Zealand the phenotype that is grown for export is very different from the one i discoverd at the back of my block amongst the bamboo. Usually kiwifruit grow on a vine with larger leaves - the one in my garden has the appearance of a tree. Perhaps they are cousins?

Tomorrow the forecast says thunderstorms - lets wait and see.
