VEGE PATCH. What's growing in yours?

[pagan prospector]

What's growing - pretty well everything now - just emptied 75 mm out of the gauge. Pleased - but feeling guilty over the plight of others who aren't getting a drop.

The only thing you should feel guilty about Blocker is if you didnt save some of that 75mm and let it all go to waste. not that nature doesnt know what to do with it.

Tubs and buckets everywhere!!

Tipped 132mm out of my gauge this morning, started raining Thursday arvo and mostly stopped by midnight last night.
Did the same as you Blocker, tubs and buckets everywhere and I put some of the captured h2o to good use this morning :goldpan:
Nothing to show :goldnugget: wise after doing a few pans but helps quell the fever until I can get out to the goldfields

You guys are getting me all inspired.

Against better judgement i put in a few old seeds this morning, Pumpkins, watermelon, romas, just to try and cure the itch.

Planted a couple of ancient flower seeds too, all the seeds are over 8 years old :argh: but who knows, might get lucky :gemstone:

At the very least ill have my propagation trays set and warmed for some more viable seeds if nothing shows and fill in 2 more weeks where frost and low overnight temps are still present.

Local seed lady will be coming to market in next couple weeks, I like to buy from local seed suppliers as the profits stay local to an independent gardner/grower and she has the really good older seeds and variety from all over, not to mention she usually adds in something youve never grown before like the black tail watermelons i just put on *fingers crossed*

Great to see you blokes all fired up and growing beautifully, cant get enough :Y:

 

[silver]

Aint we just lucky up here with the weather hey. erfect:
Here's a thought for you southerners

Or.... you could go sorta industrial(but you'll need bigger windows)

and with any of these, you could catch the rising heat from an incorporated composter system. :Y:

 

[Mackka]

Gee we need some rain up here badly but still praying for those poor buggars over the range. It has to come some day, just wish it was today.

Yeah... them poor bugga's are saving spit in a bottle for the garden.... and tears off babies cheeks 8.( for the washing up... imagine that and you'll understand just how bad they got it.

It was no surprise Silver. No way I was wading my way through all that nettle to get to it :8

Most of that nettle got tilled back into the soil.

Nettles are a good indicator of high nitrogen soil and i hope you are growing burdock near those nettles its the antidote for the nettle rash.The nettles are edible too

Another new Lemon record, I think this will be this years biggest. Worth $3.36 at Woolworths.

Zuchs are up! Weather on the improve. My little Big Kev has awakened!

Pulled my tomatoes out as they all got stung or caterpillars. Lack of maintenance,I know!
Now time for cucumbers.
