Aubergines, rudbeckia 'Prairie fire' and 'Prairie sun' with one rogue arctotis. Painted this a few years back when I managed to actually get some fruit on my eggplants. They really need to be started in a greenhouse in our climate in Christchurch, otherwise the season isn't long enough for fruit. Same with sweetcorn, which I grow every year but always comes to nothing. You'd think I would have learned by now, but perhaps it's easier and lazier to make the same mistakes over and over. (I think one of my old report cards said this "does not learn from her mistakes"). Silly besom.
Waho: Maori word meaning far out, far flung, far off. Here are bits and pieces from an obscure corner of the world called New Zealand.
