The Kiwifruit vine/tree

Monday19th

After many ties to hold it all down!

Today and for many days to come starts the task of picking then pruning the Kiwifruit vine. Sounds lovely, well the Kiwifruit vine has not been pruned for over two years, so now looking much more of a tree than a vine. Plus someone kindly picked half the fruit of the tree but only round the edges! So hilariously fun climbing right into the top of this tangled web of vines picking the fruit, well hilarious till you drop the bag! Had to stop and to stop and pinch myself several times because of the whole irony of being in New Zealand, stuck up a Kiwifruit tree, eating Kiwi's, just bazaar. So there is now loads of fruit in the bamboo room, filling every laundry basket and box that is available. 

No TV or decent Internet connection at the farm so really cool just to sit and read books or do something different with my time rather than blob!
