You'll have to set up a roadside stall by the looks of that HL, tomatoes galore, looks good, my seedlings are looking good too. :drooling: :drooling:

No one touches my tomatoes EVIE/BEE layful:

Remember Psycho from the movie Stripes. Way back.

Psycho:
The name's Francis Sawyer, but everybody calls me Psycho Hard Luck. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.

Leon:
Ooooooh.

Psycho:
You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff Tomatoes. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff tomatoes, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Picked the first of this years gladioli.

The Gladioli bed: if there are any experienced gladioli growers could they PM me I need some advice.

Experimental blanching with some leftover leek seedlings.

Built myself a brassica cage, to stop those white moths and not have to spray.

love your work. And that mesh cage is so square it's sexy. I think so anyway :lol:

Might need a clear plastic sheet under the cage roof as those white cabbage butterflies have been known to squirt their eggs down through and onto a good looking growth bed for their offspring to thrive in... just sayin

Have a temp' roof of insect screen but was going to replace it with the small mesh same as the sides, might reconsider that, thanks.

Note for goldfreak, it's square, that's the problem with OCD

Now I know I go on about lemons!! That heat wave a strong winds blew these off the trees over the weekend. However, it turns out Woolworths is selling imported lemons from the USA and this lot is worth about $40:00 at their prices. Just got love it when the garden gives you goodies when they are dear at the supermarket.

Also dug up a small bed of potatoes. A variety I've not tried before 'white star'

 

[silver]

Looks like you should be throwing a line in somewhere Blocker... grew the rest erfect:

 

[user 5263]

Ah Silver, would you believe I sold the boat a couple of months back. A sad day.

 

[Nightjar]

Has been our best season ever with tomatoes growing in a hanging basket. Still a few problems with grubs but at least the snails don't get to them.

 

[Nightjar]

Ah Silver, would you believe I sold the boat a couple of months back. A sad day.

Blocker, sold my boat last year. 8.(
We enjoyed grilled crayfish (+lemon) with summer salads until the lowlifes decided, why buy a craypot when we can steal them. Had 5 stolen in two years at around $150.00 ea.
Made the hard decision and sold up everything.
The irony of the sale was he seemed a decent young fella, so I threw in my fishing gear and the one craypot.
Not 5 days later my son-in-law rang me asking why my boat was on the back of a truck?
Turned out this young fella was caught with a stolen craypot in the boat.
The Fisheries in WA do not take prisoners.
The boat was confiscated and he rightfully copped a huge fine.

It's an awkward feeling when you realise that part of your life has changed and although it is "letting go" it feels more like something lost.

 

[Goldfreak]

I think I know exactly what you mean Blocker. I get that feeling every time I see my old bicycle. I used to take it overseas and ride around Asia. I did so many kms on it it used to feel like an extension of my own body. Now it sits idle rusting in the shed. Hasn't done much since marriage and kids. Maybe the best way of getting over an old hobby is finding a new one?

 

[silver]

Hilled some corn
grew it down in a trench first
you can see behind it that I've put some cane mulch around to help hold in moistue and keep weeds down on the paths.

my paw paw thick planting is still fighting it out for dominance

the coconut is learning how to hold onto more nuts pretty well now

the lychee has this stuff growing on parts of it once again... tried white oil so far but looks like no effect.

 

[Jaros]

Lookin' good Silver.

 

[silver]

Yeah Jaros.... promising on the pawpaw front this year

getting a few macadamia nuts falling every day or so now too.... all adds up (saved corn seed there too)

not a lot of young oranges at the moment

but sure is plenty of lemons on

some of them are on pretty thick in places

promise of bananas with a flower case just protruding out a little

as well as the promise of passion fruit tool

I'm gunna enjoy it all (so will a few neighbors too)

 

[Jaros]

You must be nearly self sufficient for a few mths of the year. I'm jealous.
:clap:

 

[Mackka]

Excellent work Silver, bloke down the road grows fruit trees in his front yard, mango, chocolate pudding, lemon, peach and lychee which is loaded and ready for harvest. He has a couple of Asian buyers that he supplies. No one touches his fruit, including me.
