Cheer up Mantis, here's a picture of my Tasmanian Snow Pea Tree - genetically unmodified by none fruiting apples.

He he he...

Off topic I know: thanks for the melon seeds, Cosi

A few quick snaps after a hectic day at work...

They are coming along nicely... flowers not to far away on many.

Spare patch flanked by peppers and dwarfs in pots, with more dwarfs in the patch. Some of the stakes in the pot are from a cut-up Hills Hoist clothes lines, which some of you may remember.

Eggies already...

It's gonna be a great season guys... remember me?

whoa! look at all of your babies...growing so fast!
especially that last one!

Mantis · October 19, 2007

Hehe, Summer is going to be running around soon
I am happier about the greenhouse today as I pulled JF and 3 other very sickly looking plants. Pruned the bad leaves off the others and am thinking I may get ahead of it.
The copper spray i hit them with yesterday seems to have dried out the bad leaves where the chlorothalonil left them limp and damp. Not a fan of the chlorothalonil.
Below is one of the bad leaves pulled from one plant I am keeping for now.

Mantis · October 19, 2007

Oh, yes. Cosmic, I did disect the pulled plants in several places and no sign of dark streaking indicating virus, which is very good.

cosmicgardener · October 19, 2007

Excellent - they may live to fight another day...........

Spatz,

After a BIG day of work outside we just opened a bottle of Hahndorf Hill Shiraz 2002 .....absolutly beauuuuuuuuutiful! Cheers! Salut!

Mantis · October 20, 2007

Goodonya FM, cheers.
Made two new selfwatering tubs today, cooked a barby and now kicking back with a beer

Grub · October 20, 2007

Life is good with a Hunter Valley chardy, as well.

I should share this with you: one patch I have always produces stunted ones and this year, after considerable renovation, I have 2/8 stunted ones. I'm thinking there are root-eating critters in the soil and I am going to make a pyrethrum drench. Dun wanna lose Box Car Willie.

Otherwise, all is well here. Tried my hand at beach fishing this arvo and caught a dart, a small flathead and a crab. No dinner, but the white pointers were out. And a few Brazilian behinds. Hard to concentrate on the bites.

Mantis · October 20, 2007

LOL, suprised that you even baited a hook

cosmicgardener · October 20, 2007

Just finished a bottle of Angoves Petit Verdot AND a Yellow Glen Yellow Sparkling ...............hic......got my list of NZ wines to try from our favourite wine merchant...hic

Grub · October 20, 2007

Sounds really good... we just need a band and pig on a spit!

Where's Earl when you need him.

Full Moon · October 20, 2007

Looks like we all had a good night especially you Cosmic! New Zealand wines....mmm..mmmm...mmmmmmm...Got a case of premium Sauvignon Blanc with the wine Club last week. Looking at today's forecast (31C) I might just pop a bottle in the fridge for tonight.

Brazilians.....we celebrated New Year's Eve in Cap Tribulation with a group of brazilians a few years back....took me a few days to recover and it's definatly one night that I will never forget.

It's 5:30am, having a cuppa before I can start watering at 6:00. Those water restrictions are interfering with my saturday night drinking

The tommies are looking good it looks like I might get some flowers very soon.
