July and August in our Suburban Food Forest Garden

With chilly, blowy days, July and August in our suburban food forest garden have seen our bananas and paw paws getting a battering....

Luckily the banana bunch can be saved and will ripen hanging in the warm back room of our house. As for the paw paws we’re not sure if the damage was from the wind or the birds, but it should recover fine....

The carrots went a bit crazy but taste just as wonderful....

Delicious snow peas are so crisp they rarely make it into the kitchen, being enjoyed in the garden in delight...

And the busyness of the birds tells us thankfully spring is here!

Yes it has been a rough and windy August, but we're sure things will recover ok :-) The banana stalk with a big heavy bunch on it feel over, but we can ripen the bananas in our back room, and another 'stalk' from the banana plant will grow up :-)
