Oops. Where did spring go?

Apologies for being so quiet of late: I've been too busy actually gardening to write about it too! But I'm too excited not to share a quick update... I just noticed that my coffee beans are ripening! I was outside a few minutes ago, brandishing the hose, and while spraying clean the boardwalk caught a flash of red in the water. A coffee bean! The beans have turned red on only one bush so far; the other four have small green beans still. At this rate I'll be able to open my own cafe in... oh... 2020!

I promise to update properly later in the week. The NZ Gardener reader open weekend is now just 7 days away and I've got loads to do before then!

Happy gardening.
