No big farm in life, but there's been bananas there nearly all my life most everywhere I've found myself, nothing like a good yella hand of bananas mate hey ,.... specially when they're from your own hard yakka :Y:Bluecurrant said:

Ahhhh, life is sweet hey ! :Y:Danny13 said:Hahaha, yeah my dad inherited his green thumb from grandad as have I.
I remember the locus tree like yesterday with the tree house dad had built in the falk of the tree (next to our barn we're we bred exotic finches)- and the prodigious fruit it produced in spring when I would climbed to the the very edges of the branches to pluck the fruit. We had orange trees and lemonade tees ( sweet lemon) and pomegranate, bananas,etc I used to spend my days catching bearded dragons and graceful tree frogs and and butterflies that were once common in our rainforest garden . I can see the same interest in my son as I had . Must be a father son thing in my family
I do Home Services as a job, yard & garden maint, house maint, cleaning, that sort of thing. Quite often i take my lunch back home with me as i fill up on all the delicious treats in the yards of my clients ] I especially like the summer time and all the citrus and stone fruits that the older clients tend to grow. Like a mechanic with his car, i don't have a great garden, just the strawberry's and a miniature peach and orange tree. My neighbor has the best orange tree and a walnut tree that grow right against my fence line :lol: I also harvest from the sea and only target the seafood i like to eat. those beans have grown real quick and look healthy as. great skills mate. :Y:
I remember being but a toddler and seeing my Mums veggie garden bed(about 10m x10m on reflexion) being absolutely full of corn that towered soo high ,.... and I remember the mystery of my grandads garden that I was never allowed to visit because of all the snakes, yet it was just down the hill somewhere at the back of their house.OldGT said:
but I do remember his granadilla vine that looked like it grew watermelons (he was a grumpy old cuss and most probly just wanted time to himself without being bothered ,... he died when I was about 8 years old).
Thanks SS, I hav'nt had luck with the miniature peaches yet, tried to grow mums a few times over the years ,.... and I should do again so we don't end up loosing it she's down to just one little plant herself after all those years, still the same plant stock that she had when I was a kid ,... sometimes she only had one plant going, other times she'd have half a dozen nice looking mini trees and always taking cuttings with her when she moved to a new place. :Y: Nicest tasting fruit too.Secret Squirrels said:I enjoy your gardening posts and pics as well silver.
I forgot to mention i also have a dragon fruit and it flowers beautifully but i never seem to get the fruit, the flowers open over night and finish that day then they just wilt and die and........ Nothing Any tips would be appreciated
