Turns out they take 30-50 days to ripen.... and this is day 53 for this one.
So today is gunna be the day of reconing.... anyway the dog had to see three crows off that were down lower in the jacaranda tree this very morning... recon they are getting their eye in for a choice good feed (not on my watch)

Eldest young fella has a baby white one that we are going to set up on its own post... he grew a few from seed... I'm sure it'll taste ok being organic (when it eventuates)

Here's that pumpkin vine atm.... got it pegged lol

How's that for a ribbon of life

[silver]

That's how I'm feeling with that particular pumpkin.... hoping it'll baby up for me somehow (I'd like seeds via the ribbon)

We have a couple that we started from seeds growing in an old bathtub and the vines have invading the chicken run now ..

This is our next project.

 

[nucopia]

Todays projects.
Weed the front garden ,then lay down weed matting mulch and planted 5 new roses..

Veggie garden beds ..
Black plastic liner, Garden clippings , a bag of rabbit quail and chicken oop:
A layer of soil topped off with a layer of Cardboard and another layer of garden clippings ..

Surprised at how much these beds can hold..

I think that's why timber is a good lower level filler.... cheap and slow

I have two garlic bulbs sprouting so far out of the three rows I planted.

If they all come up... great
If it's only these two then that'll be my nucleus crop for the future.

 

[Jaros]

love garlic fresh.

 

[silver]

We're always using garlic... I tried to grow it another time but it never worked out for me.
This time I was starting to worry if it was gunna be able to push up through the can mulch or not, but it seems to have handled that ok. It's a locally grown garlic so it's used to the area's climate etc.... hopefully it'll do its thing and multiply for me.

Today I put up the frame for my greenhouse.
Instructions were basic to say the least. Stupid little 6 inch steel pegs to hold it down were worse. Made some 6.5 mm galv ones 450mm long instead.

Diagram says 4 metres long but mine is 6 metres long.

That looks the goods... nice big opening if ya need it
