Ready, set, go!!

Are we ready yet? Yes. Are we totally ready, well almost.
Today we got all the potted plants we wanted to survive, and bedded them into one of our vegie beds, and covered them a little with straw mulch. 
We did this last trip and all survived. It's mainly the small pots, as the larger ones seem to cope better, and we have re-potted a few. They will stay on the stand in the courtyard and when we get more rain, they will benefit. Of course with the colder weather, most of them will "shut-down" for winter.

The rest of the garden is looking good, but only because of all the rain we've had, and we have mulched everything we can, and planted a few things that needed to be in the ground. If we lose stuff, then too bad. There are a few late tomatoes which we hope will still colour up, and our son can use them.

We've pulled the zucchini plants, which have been very bountiful this year, and we used the last of our home-grown onions just last week. The sweet corn was also used up, so everything can now just sit and wait through winter.
The house will need a final whip through just before we go, and then we just turn everything off and close the door, and go!
