Kang Kong

Kang Kang is becoming a firm favourite tonight was the 3rd harvest. It grows so easily.    
 
Well my summer hiatus is over my garden has been drowned by all the rain. My water bill was 900 dollars and I tried to be careful with watering so now my new challenge is to eat from my garden every day whilst cutting down my water usage.                       My other goals for this year are walking the Kokoda challenge 96km in 39 hours through the Gold Coast hinterland.  Preparing for my parents moving into the flat downstairs next year. Getting my son through year 12 and into uni. Plus start a market stall and online food business.  So it is going to be a very busy year.

Still raining the only thing to do is have a cup of “blooming tea”
