We started off our Labour Weekend with a garden walk to admire all the work that we have put in over the past 3 years to make it what it is today. Spring time certainly is a great time for reflection!

It’s a blessing to be able to eat from your own vegetable garden and this year it certainly is working well! We’ve had tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and cucumbers galore from the tunnel house as well as a collection of outdoor veggies like lettuce, silver beet, spring onions etc. Thyme Out is busy with guests this […]
Worry-free Gardening

It’s a great feeling to be able to put food on the table from our own veggie garden. It seems this year we’ve become much more organised and Frans has come up with a clever concept to grow lots of different vegetables in the tunnel house. But because we’re both busy, we don’t want to […]
Getting Ready for Spring

The daffodils are here, giving us an early indication that the days are getting longer and spring is near. Frans is busy mowing the lawn and reflecting over the gate what he will be doing next. It’s lovely to have a place to reflect and to put some ideas together for the future. All the […]

It is raining and there’s a lot to be happy about. Around this time of year the garden starts to look a bit droopy, so some nice soft rain does a lot of good for the plants and the veggie garden. Yesterday was a mixed bag of rain and sunshine and I couldn’t help but […]
Our Namesake

It has been a busy past week. Just managed to find the time to sit back with a cup of tea after a lovely long weekend. While it didn’t prove to be the best weather for sitting outside, at least we got around to transplanting most of the vegetables from the green house – cauliflower, […]
Gardening Extravaganza

Is there such a thing as too much gardening? Apparently not! When I wake up in the morning, especially on those beautiful mornings when there’s not a cloud in the sky, Frans and I have breakfast and then I head straight out into the garden. There are always a few things I have to attend […]
