Garden time!!!!!

We have gotten some plants into our garden now. Here in the photos you can see Sandra peeking around our wisteria vine by our out door fireplace. The smiling couple are Helena and Marcel who used to be our next door neigbours on our little hill. The sold several years moved back closer to Auckland. I was pouring wine today at a local cafe and they showed up to visit to ole neighbourhood. We miss them as they were good next door neigbours. Marcel is a good consumer of wine so we were glad to share some our just released Hawks Nest Back Paddock.

Anyway, he said he checked out this blog occasionally so I promised to post this shot of the two of them. Good to see you guys today!!!!

The other shots show Sandra shopping for the vege plants and me digging in the dirt to get them started. I will try to occasionally post a "progress report" on our garden over the next few months. It is still sort of wierd to start a garden in Oct:):):):):):):)

So, our wine is on the shelves of local stores and on the boat on the way to Nashville. Sandra and I will be going back to Nashville on Nov 24th for the year end holidays in Tenn. Soooooo, all of you in Tenn can get ready to hear about your first chances to taste our new 06 wine in early Dec.

BTW, if you are in Tenn. reading this post plan to go down to Franklin on Nov 3rd for the nice wine event call "Wine down main street in Franklin" Lipman Bros. will be pouring our wine that day so look for it and help a good cause by attending.

More soon.
