VEGE PATCH. What's growing in yours?

[Jaros]

Well done. Great with nacho's etc. :clap:

 

[silver]

They are good lookin Avo's hey !

I wish..... ..... flowers this year for us at least(plants trying to figure it out) :Y:

I'm still waiting for the garden bed man to arrange a time. I might have to get medium size pots to keep my seedlings growing-some for the whole term. Our dog is loving all the extra room sine we had the 20X10 pool removed. The Cockers nose is an amazing sensory organ. His Bravecto tab came yesterday and he new it was his because he can smell the factory people and the smell left on the box with the 1 3mth long Flea and Tick prevention inside. It's no wonder a lot of airport sniffers are Springer Spaniels or Cocker Spaniels.
I wish I could be out there like Silver with my camera looking at the behavior of insects and grubs thru the night. I'm jealous mate. I have all these seedlings in long rectangular tubs dying to get into the ground.
Got the weed mat and wire fencing to help keep out the possums at night. The Organic Dynamic Lifter soil improver pellets all ready waiting to go.

 

[Mackka]

Mate you have been waiting months for that garden bed. Time to give them a hurry on i think.

[Jaros]

It's a supply of the Hi tensile corrugated iron sheets that's slowing it all down.

 

[Goldfreak]

Supply chain problems are everywhere. The company I work for cant get enough replacement chep or loscam pallets atm.

Maybe have one of those electric cattle prods from a produce agency ready for once he walks through the gate.... just to let him know you mean business(and so he charges a more reasonable rate as well... and works much faster too lol)

 

[Mackka]

Great idea Silver.

[Jaros]

You know i'm not like that Silver..... O

 

[silver]

You know i'm not like that Silver..... O

I know, I know, sorry there young fella... and you already have enough fertilizer anyways. :/ oop:

 

[silver]

Not much more I can say now.... like with my missus, I'd only be digging myself in deeper.

I'll just sit in the naughty corner for a while

Here's my Triffid(thank you John)

It grew so I let it grow where it was in the walkway.
I'm waiting for the buds to bloom purple to harvest them.... going to pop them(all chopped up) into Vodka, to make a tincture(I think that's what it's called).
Getting closer all the time

Getting a few zucchinis

And my corn is still short

But, then the strawberries are still going strong(makes me feel better)

Orchid under the nut tree in flower

And the compost bin, also under the nut tree has potatoes coming to an end.

Gunna be a good crop straight out of compost by the looks of it.

And finally, my second set of coffee seedlings(from a tree up the road)

All up except for one cell

And the first set(from my own beans)
6 of them never came up, but I was scraping to get enough seed then, so some were getting a bit dubious as to whether or not they would strike at all.... so we are just seeing the seeds of doubt not rising

See some have their first real set of leaves starting(not just the seed leaves).

Exciting times out back......

Hey Silver, you can use the leaves of the nettle to make tea.

That scotch thistle do you mean Mackka ?

Finally got my thistle flowers into Vodka for the tincture.

And harvested the spuds from the compost bin under the maccadamia nut tree

Growing in between the composted material and the uncompleted top layer(as if it were a mulch layer above them)

Bit of composted material sticking

But a quick spray and there's almost a colander full of spuds

Nice to grow a bit of food from the morning sun, all while letting the compost make itself too

 

[Mackka]

Very nice Silver. Boiled with lashings of butter( if only).
