Summer
2011/2012

Shantell News December/January 2011/2012

The seeds have all germinated, and we are now busy harvesting the fruits of our labour.

It is a wonderful feeling to go into the kitchen garden and pick the salad leaves for the fresh green salad, the herbs for all the garnishing, and the pretty flowers to decorate the dessert plates. 

The garlic and the potatoes have all been harvested, the tomatoes are flourishing. All we need is a few days of summer and sunshine and they will be ready to pick.  Fortunately we were spared the worst of the storm that came through Christmas Day. We certainly saw the result  of the hail damage as we drove from Warrandyte back to the Yarra Valley. we hope you were all spared the worst of it.

WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR & ALL THE VERY BEST FOR 2012
