Early January garden

 The garden is producing well at the moment, luckily, we've only had one extremely hot day at a time, rather than a heatwave so far, so the garden has recovered pretty well after a hot day.  We've even had some rain this week, so I've confident enough to plant the next round of carrots, some leeks, and some cosmos (to attract beneficial insects) in the beds that the potatoes came out of.
 The biggest pumpkin so far.

 Cucumbers making their way up the teepee
 Leeks up one end, cosmos up the other
 The backyard in full bloom, attracting lots of Honeyeaters
 More rambling pumpkins
 Zucchini
Pumpkins taking over, with some watermelon and sweet potatoes in the foreground
