Tamarillo

It's that time of the year when the Tamarilloes lift the corners of the garden with their bright, ripening fruit. This year they seemed to begin to ripen earlier and have nearly all ripened at once. We've also had some magnificently sunny days for the last few weeks and this has helped with ripening too.

You can also see how well the sugar cane has done this year. It has really established itself well. I also had Yacon in this area but it did not do so well so have transplanted it into the larger garden bed for the winter in the hope it will at least set more tubers.
