A very industrious neighbour from down the street has made the empty block next to my house into a wonderful vegetable garden. Although it is still middle of winter, the beans are starting to flower and one is climbing above the fence line. In May, it was pumpkins coming over, now it's beans.The beanstalk is even taller now, but when I drew it two days ago, from my low vantage point sitting on a kitchen chair, it was dwarfing Royal Prince Alfred Hospital there in the background.
