wonderful!



I've tried raspberry plants here, but they either weren't in the right spot, or its too cold

my grape vine is growing, but I dunno if the season will be long enough

I have some beans runnering  and I think they are taking the pansies upwards with them

yep, you do, and they're delicious

but the skins the best bit

I love raspberries, well raspberry flavoured stuff anyway, don't know if I've tried them fresh

marg is disgusting (or atleast the idea of eating it is.)

I'm having a ham sandwich for lunch right now - Ilike butter but was too lazy to spread it on the bread -  so its a (big chunk of home cured ham between a couple of slices of bread.



scoobs, the skins peel off very easily after they are cooked too.

and those are very healthy looking raspberries you have there.

assuming this place is still going and if Stu will tell me where his new home is... Stu, after you've shifted I'll bring you a few raspberry plants, you can have your own, if you like?

Scoobs, I suggest you save some of those potatoes (either the ones I gave you or yours) as seed potatoes, chuck them loosely in a bag in the shed and forget about them, let them sprout.  Those planters, are still a great idea but I'd put maybe 3 potatoes in each one and give it another go, not too late to put some seed potatoes in now too for a late crop.

How about nah

Guess what I been doin' :P    And yup, this time, there is only 3 in the box. And a quite a few in the shed to sprout. Okies, I'll give the little ones a go. Even if I don't like them, maybe the kids will 

When do I know when yams are ready to pull out?

Oh and I thought I'd try something different (for me) and plant some seedlings in amongst the flower gardens and see what happens. And got some more seeds planted in their pots.

I've never grown raspberries before, so how long away will it be before they're edible? And I reckon it's the goat S**t that's making them that happy  Didn't realise they grew so high! 


So many questions! 

Butter = happy food.

did I miss anything?

Wow - taties look fab.

Ummm I have done nothing in the garden except keep the weeds at bay.

  nope. me thinks you got it all  

and yup. the seedling are veges. don't ask what kind. can't remember what I planted      Oh and thought I'd give it a shot at growing a lettuce inside (in a planter pot) - see how that goes too.

I've never heard that, good thing I have a stronger immune system than butter eaters eh

I don't remember that, must have been somebody else

Gawd! It was a while ago and I'm too lazy to search    But it did happen

bollacks      you were sick sometime last year with the flu

only if we run out of butter.

Looking good

i picked some nice large strawberries to day 
taste very nice   

tomatoes are slowly getting there

i have some tomatoes ready i can't belive it    

  that's a big relief for you! 

looks like a great strewberry patch

first attempt at growing Russian Giant sunflowers  fudge they're tall 

last week. the top rail of the dog run they are against is 2metres high 


today, just when I thought they couldn't get any taller....(the tallest ones must be at least a good 7 1/2 ft  )




and I just read in our local rag that one of the primary schools has grown a hectare of sunflowers as a fundraising project 

  I'm definitely going to plant more next year. Might have to get a cockatiel or 5 to eat all the seeds 

actually I want to try and dehusk them, cause I use so much in cooking 



here's the little strip of garden growing well - some plants are dying off, but others are still coming away 

I made an amazing discovery in the garden today 

I saw a wee flash of red, and thought the flower was so small it must be a weed, but upon closer inspection, its a dear wee poppy 


measured against my thumb


camera usually does a better job than this, but:

 
how pretty

it is to wet to go out in our garden
