Picked cherry tomatoes to leave at the entry of our flats tonight. .. all gone already! !
Damn bugs!
Caterpillars have eaten into heaps of my tomatoes. ..
Mum’s main predator is s different type of enemy. ..she has green tomatoe bug.
Some tips on control
My best tip… look inspect your garden everyday and act quickly when you notice something!
Red spring onions
Tonight’s harvest
2 ‘red iceburg’ and my first 3 heirloom tomatoes.
Unfortunately I was a bit heavy handed as usual and broke a stem that had another 3 decent sized green fruit.
Such is life 🙂
Harvested my favorite sunflower
In true Aussie form, ive been calling him ‘Tiny’!
His stalk was about 10′ tall
First tomatoes- tiny tom
I picked my first cherry tomatoes just now. I think they are called Tiny Tom
They are s free standing bush variety
Size dosen’t matter
😉
White Carrots!
They are awesome! It seems that my Yellow Carrots grow the best in my foam boxes but the white ones are worth a mention cos they look awesome!

Sunflower Strip
Nearly a dozen have sprouted already!
Yum
Just muched on a big plate of my home grown veg again!
Loving steamed Beets- any suggestions on other ways i can prepare them?
Red Abutilon (Chinese lantern)
I found an awesome Red Chinese Lantern Tree growing in roadside garden
Mum struggles to propagate the Red ones so im hoping these will take off so we can share
Here they are all planted out. Used my own propagation mix, mostly cow poo and compost.
hope they work out.
Mum makes awesome ‘twisted plants’ she takes 3 or 4 different colours of these and plaits them into a standard… like this one https://www.jparkers.co.uk/plant-0001292/abutilon-tricolour-p12/
I’m determined to beat her, and create a 5 colour variety!
