Brigitte’s autumn hideaway

Ah! My husband started this weekend by finding this huge ‘Lucky clovers’ in our garden!

Just amazing how big they are!

You sure remember our trip over the pass last Saturday.

We went there to Mitre 10 Mega where the kids enjoyed the indoor playground, while Daddy brought back his broken fork

We brought home another fork…

…and of course some plants for me

While David enjoyed to walk around the garden… balancing on the stones…

…I ripped out a plant I thought was a giant yellow sorrel (Oxalis) but to my surprise it was a New Zealand Yam also called oka. How amazing!

This Saturday we went to Masterton to a farmer’s market on the Solway showground, where we met a German woman who sold delicious bread and ‘Zopf‘

What a treat!

On the way home we drove by, by this awesome old house. It looks like a painted picture.

At home the kids enjoyed their pizza in the garden…

… and later a cookie from Daddy

What a sweet pair

I found another new plant which I don’t know. It looks like a grass but is white and green.

“Careful honey! Don’t break the spade!”

Another tree stomp is removed from the garden and… no tool is broken

I found this pretty big Weta Lady when I removed some old sticks.

David wanted to take her indoor but we managed to coax him to give her a save place far back in the corner of our garden.

When we brought the lady to her save place Christoph found something interesting dangling down from the trees…

… it was a Banana passion fruit! How great! We have a yummy passion fruit in the garden!

Here is a link to an Album where you can find some other pictures of the passion fruit and Weta.

And hazelnut!

And another surprise plant in a corner we don’t know… look at this huge rhizomes! We are waiting for her to bloom to find out what this big plant is, but if you know, please let me know.
