Title: FOR THOSE WHO ♥ GARDENING
Post by Lisa Jones on Jan 2^nd, 2015 at 1:21pm

If you're like me, and you're passionate about gardening, why not jump in and share with us the type of plants you're into and/or are growing in your garden.

We're always discussing relationships on this forum so it only makes sense that we discuss our relationship with our own outdoor home environment.

Title: Re: FOR THOSE WHO ♥ GARDENING
Post by Lisa Jones on Jan 2^nd, 2015 at 2:21pm

I grow most of our fruit and veges. Why? Because organic, chemical free and real sensational smelling and tasting fruit & veges kinda spoil you after a while. The stuff on offer at the supermarket or green grocer might LOOK ok, but it can never smell or taste anything like what you can grow at home.

We're pretty lucky in that we have a quarter acre block so space isn't an issue. It's little wonder that Mum's Vege Patch is now being referred to as Mum's Farm by my family.

I just love taking care of my front and back gardens. It's where we spend a lot of time nurturing relationships with family, friends and neighbours so it makes sense to make the environment where all this takes place as beautiful, fragrant, aromatic and colouful as possible. The fact that large parts of the garden are edible is an added blessing for all who come to share time there.

I live with impoverished soils-- living on the coast means ( most of the time) that soils are very acidic-- I can grow very little, but my dad could grow literally anything.. thinking of going hydroponic. ! Soils that have to have heap's of money spent on them to make them fertile kind of defeats the purpose.

Hello Ms AG :)

Throwing cow manure, slow release fertiliser pellets then sugar cane mulch before you grow anything can help set the scene for successful planting.

The other thing I've found helpful is locating the best position for certain plants.

Yup, I have an “orchard” of a dozen fruit trees and vege patches front and back (front faces south so gets lovely early morning sun.

I grow tomatoes, enough that with 20Kg bought tomatoes (at Farmers Markets) I can make enough passata for a batch of pasta for nearly every week of the year—I have a small tomato machine good for like 10Kg a pop. Cut a couple up, run through the machine, into sauce pot over high heat, two more, then run the skins through and on to the next 2 tomatoes. Capital mistake to cut the whole lot of tomatoes up—you will get watery sauce.

Chilies, rockmelons, eggplant, cucumbers, zuchini, sweetcorn and beans:

That photo was taken not that long ago, the sweetcorn has doubled in size! The power of pig errrr manure! About 2" of pig poo got spread between the rows :) ;)

Almost forgot my latest tree:

Not bad for Adelaide! It is right by the back verandah, faces north so no frost and plenty of sun. Had one big bunch last year, two this year.

When you grow stuff you end up with a glorious glut and jam making, drying, preserves and jams, pickles is the order of the day. I love it!

Oh yeah, I got a tree full of plums—see Fermentations to see what I have in mind for them.

Hey Bobby, great to see you around :)

We've got 19 tomato plants growing beautifully at the moment in a full sun/low wind area of the garden with Italian basil herbs growing btwn them. All tomatoes are still green. We have 1 other tomato plant located well away from these and it's presently producing red tomatoes. It's a cherry tomato plant which grew of its own accord after I buried some vege scraps (following a family bbq). Can't wait to harvest our tomatoes this year. Will post a pic when we do.

I find hydroponic veges lacking in taste and texture. For AG tho it is probably the only way and I would grab it with both hands if I were her. PVC pipes filled with the growing medium, pebbles and the nutrient liquid arranged up a sunny wall and away you go.

at the supermarket most fruit and vegies look perfect and the fruit as well as tomatoes taste terrible.
I have not grown any tomatoes this year, but previously the tomatoes I grew tasted fantastic, yet my wife can only eat tomatoes which got no taste, and not the tomatoes I grow, because it must the acid which give the taste, and that gives my wife a sore mouth.
I grow a lot of stone fruit, not very successful this year, but the taste of the apricots and the peaches is really great.
Very hot in Adelaide the last two days; better today.
Bushfires are terrible.

Lot of possible reasons.

They like a slight acid soil.

Compost can help

drainage must be good.

Good soil raised bed and compost mostly does the trick. I have had it happen some seasons and never worked out why and the next year was fine with no change. I have heard of people rotating beds. you can try to encourage secondary plants by encouraging runners instead of fruit on the main clumps - pull off the flowers on the main plant early in the season - 3 or 4 secondary clumps per main plant max.

I rather like them a bit sour.

I think this is as good as anyplace but I never get it right.

It could have gone in tool shed as there is an inference to the garden sore of or in the Greens to create a stir.

Maybe there could be a gardening topic if people are interested?

I typically do not care where topics get posted but from experience if something belongs nowhere I tend to think it should go in the general category but have noticed that FD moves things out of general and uts them where he thinks it should go.

I have not grown cucumbers for a lot of years - some stuff is sort of rattling around in my head but nothing that I would trust.

Yep. It enlisted as TGOI over here recently...something many of us noticed...
then changed its online nic to just T in some pathetic attempt to disguise herself.

She's been lamenting her ban HERE over yonder, chatting to herself under her TGOI nic and her usual floral one.

What a delusional mess she is in. No doubt, more flaming by her will follow. Nothing changes with her.. not after 13 yrs of this same rerun I'm afraid.

Please excuse me if I enter the fray, Aussie. Lisa is referring to TG (who you just banned and who is not Lucas), Black Orchid and myself, Neferti as all being the same person. This is untrue. We are THREE separate identities.

TG, Black Orchid and Lisa are all former Yahoo posters. I had nothing to do with Yahoo.

TG of IK (known as The Ghost of Inn Keeper) is a former Yahoo member. HE has been a Member of that other Forum since 2012. He is NOT Lucas (also a Yahoo person).

There is some history between former Members of Yahoo. Lisa Jones, TGIK, Black Orchid, Lucas, Cods and many more "know" each other from Yahoo which folded. Some came here others went elsewhere as well.

As is the case with ALL "old boy" type stuff in the Real World, annoyances/arguments/hate and so forth continue, sometimes for a lifetime.

Turn the other cheek. You should understand this, having been an "original Animal".

so I can promise you as far as I am concerned..there is no Old Boy stuff with me now or ever has been...

Gardening can be discussed in Fermentations–grow it, ferment it, eat it

Title: Re: FOR THOSE WHO ♥ GARDENING
Post by Lisa Jones on Feb 19^th, 2015 at 9:42am

This morning, the kids & I picked 5 passion fruits off our vine. Unfortunately, this resulted in an all out toddler war over who was going to hold 3 and who was going to hold only 2.

Solution? They were given 2 each and Mummy was allowed to hold 1.

Anyways, these are the 1st passion fruits we have ever grown so we took pics.

Anyone else growing passionfruit here?

Am asking because I would love to know how you take care of your vine.

There's been no such merger.

Your forum is still titled Fermentations.

We NEED a gardening forum though.

Just gardening.

Would be nice if we could both mod it.

We're kindred spirits when it comes to gardening. And it helps us forget all the BS of PA & OzPol.

Gardening is already and active topic at Fermentations. Growing food and eating it, growing food and preserving it (either by fermentation or preventing fermentation) and enjoying the food is a theme entirely appropriate to my Fermentations board, no need for another board.

Jump in, water’s fine!

Up to Aussie if he wants to transfer the gardening thread (after some pruning) to Fermentation or not.

I have deliberately delayed changing the name of the board, maybe you can suggest a good one?

Oh wow, looks like we have a few green thumbs about.

I started off with large black pots ( I know Bunnings sell these for around $10 each ) and little baby plants.

As my confidence grew, I started planting in the ground.

Today I have a hobby farm lol.

I have found that gardening is something the whole family can get involved with.

And it brings neighbours together.

How good is that?

Morning all.

We've been up early this morning checking out our choko vine which we planted a few months back. Lots of little baby chokos are appearing.. about the size of my finger nail.

Anybody here grow chokos?

If not... you should. They're easy to plant and grow AND very nutritional and versatile to prepare for tucker.

I saw them selling for $9/kilo the other day. As a kid, I recall these veges being virtually given away at our local fruit market.

If you would like to know how/where to grow a choko vine, just drop in and ask :)

Title: Re: FOR THOSE WHO ♥ GARDENING
Post by Lisa Jones on Feb 27^th, 2015 at 11:15am

After brekky, the kids and I went to the vege patch for our usual daily treasure hunt.

"They" found a cucumber about 20 cm long, a rockmelon, 2 chokos and some good sized potatoes.

Smiles all round as they felt proud of their efforts.

Then they wanted to play in the dirt and that's when I started screaming for them to get inside real quick ... for a banyor ( Greek word for bath ).

Broadbeans are planted in March.

If you plant them in March (as I used to do) then by the time they are bearing the plants are like 1.5metres tall—and subject to damage from winter storms.

Best to plant in June.

I did a comparison planting, two blocks of broadbeans, one planted in March, one in June. Same weight of broadbeans.

The kids and I picked 1 more cucumber and 2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes today. Sadly, these yummy veges are now coming to an end.

Getting the kids to pick the veges out of the garden excites them no end...and it helps them to want to eat veges too. They know they're going to have salad for today's lunch, because they've picked out what's going to go in it.

Gardening is a great opportunity to get kids involved in a healthy, fun, learning activity AND to help them to voluntarily eat what is on their plate, without the usual fuss.

Title: Re: FOR THOSE WHO ♥ GARDENING
Post by Lisa Jones on Mar 5^th, 2015 at 5:43am

Last night, whilst watering our front & back gardens, I noticed that our choko vine had some 30 chokos which are ready to be picked.

Sooooo, the kids and I are going to grab a few baskets and play a treasure hunt game this morning (the treasure being the choko of course).

One thing I love about gardening is that it provides a great incentive for kids to eat all their brekky and jump into their gum boots for a bit of an outdoor adventure.

Gardening also helps us Mums in structuring different types of daily activities for our kids. So, after our treasure hunt game, we'll do some painting. I might get the kids to paint a choko or something else that's simple. It's always interesting to see how their brains translate real objects onto paper using their eyes and hands.

Actually, I find it quite fascinating.

Anyways... happy gardening!

I've got a few camellias here and they are doing well.

I've noticed that mine thrive in full sun positions. Their leaves love the sun BIG TIME.

I make sure the plants get a good drink regularly & a good clip twice a year. I also buy slow release fertiliser formulated for camellias (from Bunnings or Masters) and throw it around the base of the plant after I've dug up the earth around the plant (to give it a bit of oxygen and untoughen it up).

Once all this has been done, the flowers seem able to come out and smile beautifully without any problems.

Nothing googled here. Just posting from personal experience. Hope it helps :)

Chokos. Hundreds of them here and all growing away beautifully on 2 of our boundary fences.

Neighbours are loving them. We're loving them. They're easy to grow, pick and prepare for tucker.

For those who don't know, you just stick an existing choko (make sure the choko is over ripe). bum down into well dug up soil near your fence.

Our kids planted our 2 vines (1 choko each or all hell was gonna break loose).

Try it folks. You'll be harvesting and sharing your crop yield in no time.

The kids and I gathered beans today. Nice, big and dry they were...so we could gather seed for next yr's crop.

We then placed these seeds in a big envelope which we dated and labelled. Once you get the hang of it, there's no real need to buy any seeds or seedlings. Don't think the kids blinked once as I explained the process of getting the seeds now to plant them later on. It's all part of learning something new with mum. I'm lucky that I can stay at home and be with the kids before they start school. Once upon a time, it was the norm. Not so anymore.

Anyways, I've now stored the packet (ie envelope) in a dry, cool place ie on the garage shelf in a box with my other pkts of seeds.

I owe so much to my mum and neighbours for reaching out to show me a few tips re gardening. It's nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be.

Hope my tips in this topic help anyone here who wants to give organic home gardening a try.

More chokos, potatoes and eggplants today. The kids & I filled up a basket of them.

The passion fruit vine is now covered with fruit...so we'll have to start picking those in a few days.

Our broad beans stand half a metre tall. They are doing well. No produce yet.

Some of our tomatoes appear to have self seeded. I might leave them there....just to see what happens next. Tomatoes need about 8 hrs/day full sun..so they're in the right position. Hmmm it will be interesting if these come through.

Broad beans are not fava beans. Broad beans are the only Old World bean, fava beans come from the Americas.

Plant broadbeans too early and by the time they are bearing they are a metre and a half tall and easily broken in winter gales.

They do not grow to half metre high in 2 weeks. Lisa is talking crap.

You do not get 50cm growth in 2 weeks! You do not!

Yes, two weeks—takes a week for the seed to germinate. If you really had planted broadbeans they would be like 5cm high, tops.

I have been growing these since like forever. They do not grow 50cm in two weeks. Hmm let is see, by the time they are bearing in Aug–Sep they would be Apr-May–Jun-Jul-Aug is 5 months, ten fortnights that would make them 10 x 50cm = 500cm = 5 metres high! :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

Instead of everybody arguing, why don't you all realise that growing stuff depends, quite a lot, on where you LIVE.

What grows in, say, Adelaide, at a certain time, is very probably a LOT different to, say, growing the same thing in Sydney ... or Brisbane ... or FNQ or even Tasmania.

Do realise that people KNOW what grows when in their own back or front yard. I lived in Sydney for years and have an entirely different idea of what grows and doesn't grow and when to plant things, here in Canberra. I lived in Melbourne too and that was different as well.

So ........... we are ALL right! OK?

Monk hasn't the slightest clue about growing crops in different areas of Australia. Given what he himself has posted in here this afternoon, he is obviously struggling with his green thumbs. I on the other hand find gardening easy and enjoyable. Even relaxing. Whatever I throw into the ground just grows.. and grows well.

Take for instance this season's cucumbers. No one I know (and I know some very experienced Greek and Italian gardeners here in Sydney) could grow them this year. There were plenty of leaves, flowers but bugger all cucumbers ie 6, 7? I produced 32. I had my mum, aunts, cousins and Greek neighbours coming over to see wtf was going on. Needless to say, they came away with a few too.

Now for the good news. Hubby has come home, we've had dinner and we've talked about taking pics of our garden. He has finally agreed that it will be OK for this to take place and for me to post them online.

I'm going to need his help to take the shots. Hubby has a good camera and he can click while I hold the placard that says "SUCKED IN MONK".

Hubby will then upload the pics onto my computer. I will then post these online.

There will be no pictures of any children in any pics. That means Monk can get stuffed where our kids are concerned. I refuse to provide proof of their existence to some creepy online self confessed recluse with an obvious drinking problem. Any decent and reasonable parent here will agree with my decision.

I mentioned your broadbeans.

You obviously need to google an image with 500mm broadbean plants but if you do I will find that image.

I removed some posts which added no value on the topic itself.

Please try to keep the discussion to what it is meant to be about and not what some perceive as truths or non truths.

Much appreciated.

Oh! Lisa, I can't wait to see them. There's just no other flavour like home grown veges. You really are a super woman Lisa, I take my hat off to you ( I would if I was wearing one) you are so unselfish, looking after hubby, the 18 year old's, the toddlers, working, cooking those delicious meals where your effort is limitless and now gardening, the washing and ironing and not to mention forum time, oh yeah and sleep, the list goes on. I wonder if the older kids have nominated you for 'mother of the year', they should, you deserve some recognition for your contribution of showing just what women are capable of.

I vote #1 Lisa.......Super Mum and Jill of all trades.

You should be able to buy some broad beans from the fruit and veg section of Coles and stick them in between some other greenery and take a shot, it could work. Now, getting hold of toddler twins will be another more difficult matter, especially since we want the photo of the broad beans and the kids together. Not impossible, but highly unlikely that you could produce such a photo, yes?

Do you?

As a matter of fact I do. My neighbours always comment on my Paspalum, especially this last summer, it's thriving. All the kids come over to rub it on their legs so they can get Paspalum sores (Impetigo) and have some time off school.

I will post some pics soon, I'm no sooner back home and......you guessed it, dumped with the twins again, now there's an idea I can sit the twins in my Paspalum patch and take a pic, you won't believe it.

Mermaid Beach to be precide. Superb surf club if memory serves me right.

It is about broad beans, Paspalum and pics of other people's kids. Do try to stay focussed young man.

Do you think Lisa is a 'wonder woman', Andrei? I do, she's very much like you, executive material, family, jet-setting life style, busy, busy, busy and the forum to look after as well.....Andrei the wonder man - meet Lisa the wonder woman, a match made in heaven.

Gardening isn't my thing sorry.

Growing beans or anything else? Sorry you have the wrong dude.

Why grow them when you can buy them at the supermarket? Tough people like us eat herbicides for breakfast, it's only those wimpy lefties that can't stomach the stuff. Anyway, if you ever decide to give up the poisons you can always pay someone to grow your vege patch for you, £20 to set it up and £20 a week to water and weed it....hey presto fresh veges from the garden and that fella will pick and wash them for you too, but you'll need to see that other staff member to get them bunged into your meal.

Unlike 'that other date'? Here's some clues so you can avoid it going wrong like 'the other one' did.

Wear deodorant

Shave your armpits and legs

You've got the drinking under control....good

Use mouth freshener

Don't eat garlic the day before

Don't be rowdy or obnoxious in the restaurant, it's bound to be a classy place so act classy

good luck and if you get as far as the bedroom you might have to encourage Andrei a bit, these English men are a little sedate, apparently :)

Yer a funny 'lil fella! No complaint from you about all the other non-gardening comments. Just mine. Gee, I wonder what would have inspired that?

Where is the abuse you falsely accuse me of?

Anyways, today was an awesme day for gardening.

I took some pics of the kids as they were pulling out a big pumpkin. Big smiles all round :)

The broad beans are doing well. Can't wait to see their beautiful flowers.

My Italian neighbour gave me all these tomato seedlings ..about 20 cm tall. She asked if I could plant them in the warmest part of my garden which doesn't experience much wind.

I did that today. My next door Greek neighbour saw me planting tomatoes in Autumn and came out to find out why.

Told her it was just a little bit of fun.. an experiment to see if we could produce more tomatoes even though it's no longer the right time to do so. Apparently, the experiment is doomed to fail. I kinda agreed with her but told her it would be fun to see what happens.

Anyway, that then lead to a formal inspection...during which she praised my gardening efforts and she went home with 4 chokos, 2 eggplants and the last of my cucumbers.

She just picked what she liked as she chatted away.

I don't think she realised that she never asked me...you know if I could give her some produce.

Funny stuff.

Made me feel a tad embarrassed. I even thanked her for her time.

Oh any time ....was the reply.

The encounter has left me wondering if some people go cuckoo once they hit their 60's.

No offence taken Lisa. I know this big fat hairy Greek woman that's in her forties and she's as nutty as they come, harmless though, we all just laugh with her, not at her. Just letting you know that some people are a bit wacky in their forties, it might be the menopausal thing. Not just women, men too.

I so wish I could grow something in the garden. I can't even grow parsley :'( how sad is that? My maternal grandmother was magnificent, rest her beautiful soul. She grew everything and anything. Well before we were born, she was a gardening guru. She grew onion and garlic plants for market gardeners. Her garden was, what I would call now, majestic. I miss her so badly.

Come on, Lisa! I am answering your stuff and commenting on your obvious terrific success in the garden. I'm sure I'm not the only one very keen and anxious to see those photos you said were coming.

As for PMs ~ last one was this morning and that as you know was quite official/formal in nature. Last one prior to then was on the 4th March, 2015 at 7.47 pm, and that was in reply to a PM you sent me.

Oh really? Maybe she has one of those old film cameras and she's sent it off to the Kodak shop to be processed. My first camera was a brownie box camera, I loved that thing.

Oops! almost forgot to mention gardening. Doesn't anyone grow flowers these days/ There's some nice roses up the street, but not much else. I would love to grow tulips and jonquils, my favourite flowers, ha! I bet you all thought pansies would have been.

I really can't wait to see those photos of yesterday. Do you think she'll show us Andrei? (Well, she did actually say she had posted them, but ~ no-one could see them. Isn't that just weird?

Soooo, back to gardening.

This morning, we had a visit from my mum.

Both kids heralded her coming by jumping up and down and yelling : Mummy...Yiayia's here!

NB For those of you who may not now...Yiayia is the Greek word for Grandma.

Anyways, she came in, walked right past me mumbling something unintelligible ...and went straight through to the back garden with a determined look on her face.

Another freaking inspection then took place.

She appraised everything planted, scolded me where she thought was necessary...and then IT HAPPENED...she spotted the pumpkin the kids and I had pulled out of the pumpkin patch. There it was, sitting in the middle of our outdoor table...looking totally vulnerable, exposed and defenseless.

Ahhhh! That's all I heard before the pumpkin was escorted off the premises into her waiting car.

Don't worry, I'll give you some of the pumpkin soup! she said.

With that remark.. Yiayia was gone.

I wasn't quite sure what to think.

The kids were certainly not happy about the matter. I had to ask them to pick their bottom lip from off the ground and come back inside. They were close to tears.

Right now, I'm hoping my hubby doesn't notice the missing pumpkin when he comes home this afternoon. I'm also hoping his 2 little covert operatives are so tired and distracted... they won't report back to him about what happened.

I had no idea gardening could be so tricky.i

Andrei....how did you go with any persuasion to encourage Lisa to post those photos she offered? The ones (of that bean thing) she said her 'hubby' would take a couple of days ago also showing a sign "Sucked in Monk," before those pesky ankle biters found that single huge pumpkin and 'got it out' (of the ground I assume) and then....wouldn't ya know it......Yaya (sp) came along and stole the bloody thing and without even saying 'G'day' to the ankle biters.

Not only do concerned and curious people really want to see it, I want all those 'Doubting Thomases' put right back in their place. This is so unfair to Lisa. She should not be suspected as someone talking rubbish, and I for one, will defend her right to prove them all wrong by posting those photos she offered to put up here.

I'm sure you'll agree Andrei.

Cheers!

People can post photos up if they like - I have done occasionally to make a point.
But I don't think anyone should feel under pressure in any way to post any to satisfy curiosity of others.

That's my view anyway.

Oh....I agree entirely. You did post a photo of the front of some Passports in a drawer once, and I will always defend your right to do that too. That showed up those people (and that included me at the time) who reckoned you were talking rubbish about holding dual citizenship. I can thoroughly understand why you would do exactly that. It is not as though anyone would remark at the incredibly probative value of those photos. Heck, I'm sure they were of your Passports, and that no-one ought doubt that.........even given they were photos of the front cover of anyone's Aussie/UK Passports. I believe you Andrei, as much as I believe every thing Lisa says....and Andrei, don't you ever doubt that. Fair dinkum! I really mean it.

It is a bloody disgrace Andrei, isn't it. I mean.....fair suck of of the savaloy (sp) here! Why would anyone ever doubt Lisa when she says she will post photographic proof of these beans and best of all....with a sign giving it right back to that terrible sceptic, George. It is also so bizarre, isn't it Andrei? I'm certain there must be a technical glitch holding it all up. Do you reckon that is the problem, Andrei ~ a technical issue?

I'm with you here Andrei. People should stop being so awesomely suspicious of Lisa especially after she so eloquently described that lunch date you arranged and had with her. Mate, do not for one moment accept any suggestion you could for one nano second be partisan toward her. I, for one, will not cop that. I've got your back here, Andrei.

I'm with you Buddy! Do you think Lisa will agree? I really hope so, and maybe if she sees that Mr Smith and you and me are of one mind here, she'll post those photos her Hubby took of those beans sticking it right up that bloke George. He really has that coming to him! Yay! Go Lisa!

What Lisa posts up as photos is entirely her business.

Now regarding the insinuation they were not my passports, which baffles the life out of me as to where you thought I'd found them but anyway.

Given your tendency to hold onto things longer than a hibernating squirrel, I shall add this for you to clear it up.

As I have already said Mr Hicks.......not for one moment did I doubt your fairdinkumness on the matter, and it really was unnecessary that you go to all that trouble to post that stuff. Lisa could do the same, I suppose. Do you reckon she will? After all.......photos of a couple of bean stalks with a sign saying "Sucked in Monk" would be just be mere child's play......wouldn't it? Just as easy as those two you posted of the innards of some Passports.

Settle down Lisa. Stay calm. This is a Thread you commenced, but it is not yours, or yours to moderate. If you wanted to moderate it, you could have started it in your Board ~ Real Estate.

This Thread is here because a little birdie asked very politely ages ago if I was happy to see it moved out of Relationships. 'No problem,' said I. Wouldn't ya know it....that same little birdie contacted me again and I was told that FD would not move it unless I gave directly to him my consent that he move it. Again, 'No worries,' said I, and lo and behold.....it was moved with my complete co-operation and assistance.

I think that adequately deals with your silly outburst (pretty much an outright lie) that this topic "was rescued by FD from your cess pit forum."

I'm not here to hi-jack anything Lisa. Far from it. My posts have been complimentary and encouraging Lisa. You even thanked me Lisa. Many were very keen to see the photos you offered to post, (lots wanted to see you really give it to that awfully mean fella, St George as you promised) and it is true that I have made posts lamenting the fact that I cannot see them. Wouldn't ya know it Lisa.....turns out lots of people can't see them either. You did post them, didn't you, Lisa? They are here to be seen, yeas?

Quote:

It is beyond your competence to demand such compliance Lisa, particularly given the hysterical and abusive nature and manner in which you made the demand.

Stay calm Dear.....it'll all be okay.

Happy gardening, Lisa. Long with prolific may your beans grow and fat, your pumpkins. Next time Yaya turns up, at least ask her to pause for enough time to be polite and say hello to the excited ankle biters before she just burst and brushed past them in her rush to your back yard. That was very rude of her, wasn't it Lisa?

Lisa & Aussie,

Aussie, If those convos were sent via PM might I ask that that details of them remain private.
Lisa, there was obviously an expectation and anticipation on photos which Aussie is pointing out.
That being said neither he nor I (nor anybody else) can tell you to post anything.

I can see both your positions here and understand both.

Aussie, If those convos were sent via PM might I ask that that details of them remain private.
Lisa, there was obviously an expectation and anticipation on photos which Aussie is pointing out.
That being said neither he nor I (nor anybody else) can tell you to post anything.

All in all, you have your opinions, they won't reconcile so how about we drop that matter now and move onto new gardening subjects.

Buy yourself a small electric lawnmower and do it yourself so you don't have to rely on anyone. I used to have a petrol mower, but it was always difficult to start - then I bought a hand mower, which was OK, but you have to go over the same area a dozen times. Now I've got an electric one which is light and efficient.

I enjoy mowing the lawn and doing the edges. It makes me feel good when I pull into the driveway and it's well manicured and it's good exercise. My husband freaks out when I do it because I wear thongs and have bare legs but it's still too hot for anything else up here.

Same, same Annie, thongs and shorts and exercise, but I can't say I like doing the mowing, but like you, it's nice to drive in and see the lawn freshly mowed.

I never use a whipper snipper, avoided a serious accident by a centimetre years back and haven't touched one since. I use roudup for the edges, only if it's not windy though.

Not sure if you are talking about a fence (if so how high do you want and what is it to keep out?

Are you talking about building up the raised garden edges in which case I suggest those green treated pine sleepers

Chicken wire? If I were you, I would:-

1. Teach Big Dog to stay off the vegie patch

2. Not bother growing vegies

3. Grow flowers instead

4. IF you must grow vegies, get rid of Big
Dog

Maybe six or eight foot metal tomato stakes and chicken wire, the cheapest way to build a fence and you can do it yourself. Would be easy for just a vege patch. You can attach the wire to the stakes using plastic tie wire (zippy ties).

Like this

I ALWAYS mow the lawns here AND at Mum's place (free fortnightly exercise routine for me)....& I wear thongs.

It's far easier and more comfortable IMO. You just need to be careful and attentive whatever footwear you have on.

Umm...why do you think I mow lawns?

I do a far better job than either of the above.

I cannot abide a quick, roughly mowed lawn. It really upsets me. Call me a perfectionist..I don't mind.

I prefer to think of myself as an avid gardener.

I probably should fess that hubby does all the edges and hedge trimming jobs both here and at mum's place. The equipment he uses kinda scares me. A lawnmower however doesn't scare me for some reason. I guess I liken it to pushing the stroller or supermarket trolley.

Anyway, our neighbours reckon our lawns are missing one thing : black bowling balls lol :P

Oh ....ALL my sisters and sister-in-laws are like that.

Needless to say, they're high maintenance. I personally don't want to be like that. That's my decision.

So anyway, sure they earn heaps, refuse to stay home and be mummies..but by God they spend a lot of their after tax $$$ on weekly beauty salon and hair salon appts, then there's the regular tanning sessions, the expensive Myer lotions and creams, the regular gym work outs etc

Well, a few weeks back we had an Easter get together. Everyone was there..cousins etc..you know how over the top we Greeks and Italians are lol.

Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by all these dainty females asking me questions re why my skin was looking supple and tanned ..no wrinkles...and why my hair was looking so healthy yadda yadda yadda. They wanted to know what treatments I was having.

That was when my husband stepped in and fessed the truth. No treatments, nothing. All I was doing was gardening....the exercise and sunshine involved in gardening was doing my health wonders. The fact that I was enjoying it and that it was bringing the neighbourhood closer together through organic produce sharing was making everyone feel happy...positive AND everyone was eating healthier as a result.

And there you have it.

Gardening. :)

For someone not interested, you sure mention me quite a lot. (See above. If you don't want my interest, here is a suggestion. Cease the gratuitous insults.) Yeas, I thought this was about gardening until you turned it into one about fashion, and I reckon it would just balance things out evah so nicely if you used your old PA avatar....the one you said was a photo of you.

You sound jealous.

Anyway, enough of your never ending bitter and twisted off topic rubbish....be gone!

Back to GARDENING.

I now have all my winter cos lettuces and broccoli planted....65 of the former...15 of the latter.

My potatoes are coming along just fine...the chokos are finishing up though.I only picked half a dozen this morning, I usually pick more :'(

Broad bean plants are vigorous and hardy plants...so they're doing very well. I planted them in 2 stages this year...just to see if I can stagger the yield. I'm aiming for 35 kilos (have a few Greek & Italian rels/neighbours waiting for them)...so I'll be weighing and distributing them in 1 kilo lots and keeping a tally.

Our passion fruit vine looks awesome. We counted some 55 fruit.....all slowly coming through in their various stages of maturity. We've already eaten a few (and given away even more). Have to say, we're pleased (or should that be relieved) that the insides are full of sweet pulp and juice. One of our neighbours had the misfortune of finding the insides of his passion fruit very dry and with a thick inner rind. He's waiting for a few of ours now.

Mothers Day flowers are in full bloom here atm. I'm not into the white and yellow variety (probably because these colours are so common and therefore boring IMO). Anyway, there's lots of blood red, fiery orange and soft pink chrysanthemums out the front and they're just beautiful. Pity, I basically lost all such flowers in our backyard due to the recent Sydney super storms.

Anyway...that's pretty much it for today.

Have a safe Anzac Day everyone.

Not quite. My husband has no idea how much more lawn he will need to dig up this year. I need more space. I'm looking at expanding production here lol.

Look, I love gardening. I just do.

It's an opportunity for me to be creative and well...it's a form of escapism for me (from the never ending housework here).

There's something intrinsically soothing to the body and soul.....producing something healthy, organic, fresh...sharing knowledge and produce with everyone around you..it injects positive energy in a synergistic way.

I can talk gardening for ever lol....sorry.

Oooh just one last thing before I go... I should add that gardening has taught me something very special...to respect nature and land. We ought to be more responsible IMO. Our future depends on how much we respect our environment TODAY.

Yep.

I'm also against deforestation....as in the rape and pillaging of our natural environment.

Whilst here... you may as well know that I'm also totally against the steady loss of our backyard space.

Our kids deserve better. We're ripping them off. I don't think that's right. It will come back to haunt us.

Perhaps now you might appreciate why this gardening topic is so impt to me and why it ought to be impt to everyone else who posts in here.

I visualise our natural environment as a type of Noah's ark..it's keeping us safe.. and alive.

As such, we ought to show it respect. Our children and their children etc deserve the chance to be safe and to live.

Our generation ALREADY has a lot to answer for. And that makes me angry.

Good question Ms Nef.

It's about 60/40 in favour of veges and fruit atm.

Our block of land is around 600 square metres up high on a hill but slopes down so that our back yard is much lower.

As such, I need to be careful what I plant where.

Just like real estate...position is everything when it comes to how you plant certain species of fruit, veges and flowers.

Eg This year, I lost all my chrysanthemums out the back (compliments of Sydney's recent Super Storm). The topography of our block of land didn't help matters so....I had to pull them all out.

Ahh well. Such is life.

Good question. They have a lot in common though.

No life

No house

No partner

Oh and they're has-beens with NO HOPE.

People like that live miserable lives both online and offline. Their bitter and twisted posts tell the sad and sorry story of who they are are in real life.

Ultimately they are their worst enemy because they rob themselves of being happy.

I'm a big fan of permaculture myself. I reckon that is the single best solution to world hunger.

I've seen documentaries where absolutely desolate land has been transformed into fertile soil, producing bountiful harvests.

Doesn't need much water either.

A really smart gardening technique.

I'm quite a fan of companion planting too. Works wonders for pest control and optimal yields.

Of course, it is a component of permaculture .. but it stands alone as very clever gardening.

Growing borage with strawberries, for example, can make them big and fat and sweet.

Basil with tomatoes etc.

A really good way to grow potatoes is in a tyre stack filled with pea straw ... you don't need soil.

This way the potatoes come out already clean and with a really nice flavour.

Great for jacket potatoes .. and as we all know, the best nutrients are in and just under the skin.

Stop referring to me when there is no need.

And, people really are interested in your gardening as Andrei (sort of) points out...So how about telling us about all those gardens of yours which were under water on your high up hill block which slopes backwards.

People are genuinely wanting to know.....including me.

I'm also certain that everyone sincerely wants to see those photos of the beans (with the sign addressed to George/Monk) your hubby took which you said you'd post.

Raised garden beds are the way to go if you can't be arsed digging up lawn (which there is no need to do).

Just lay down a heap of old newspapers, water them well ... then layer pea straw, compost and chook poo on top.

In no time at all you will have delicious and really healthy soil.

Like i already said, i'm big on permaculture so my yields are usually pretty decent.

I've not been out in the garden for a while now though ... been so busy and haven't had time to put the winter veggies in .. but it's just an excuse to go hang out at the local farmers market ... lol.

Anyway, back to gardening.

It's really good to grow comfrey around the edges of your garden beds. It grows a really solid root base that keeps out weeds and encroaching grass.

IT's also a wonderful herb. Great for bruises and broken bones even. EIn the old herbals they call it 'knitbone' because it speeds up the generation of osteoblasts.

Good for minor wounds too ... just not wounds that need to heal by granulation. It can cause the top layer to heal faster than the underneath and cause abscesses.

Now, back to gardening.

... and fruit trees.

Growing nasturtiums around apple trees helps repel codling moth ... which fecks up apples pretty hard.

You know the apples in the supermarket with that one raised brown spot? Or the greyish black discolouration around whre the stem should be?

Codling moth.

I never buy apples without a stem mind you ... and never with the mark of codling moth.

Nastutiums (aside from being edible themselves ... flowers look awesome in salads) deter all sorts of bugs .. and trap aphids for the rose growers.

They are companions broccoli, cauliflower, kale. potatoes, pumpkin and a whole bunch of other stuff i can't remember.

Look at the evidence. See what she says about people.

Not that this has anytthing to do with gardening.

Grow some calendula ... awesome for keeping bugs at bay but also a fabulous herb.

Now mind ... it;s the Calendula officianalus that you want. Marigold to the laybastard ... but not the wrong sort of marigold. There is a wrong sort of marigold.

The right sort, if you collect the flowers and make them into a cream are an excellent wound remedy. Good for rashes and hives too..

Bloody marvey plant.

I do hope Lisa has finished shouting at me by now. She seems cranky.

Anyway sage repels cabbage white butterfly .... good for beans, beetroot, cucumber and a bunch of other things.

Nice in a risotto too. With pumpkin and baby spinach leaves. Yum yum.

I don't have choko's but I do remember as a kid we had hundreds of those little buggers growing all the way along the fence, we used to go door to door flogging them off, 3 for 2 bob, I think, actually that sounds expensive, anyway we made our 'fortune' that year lol!!!!.... I hate that slimy sticky skin, gross!....I'm growing Paspalum, coming along nicely too.

I have had good success planting two boxes full of sweet potato cuttings, one orange and one white variety.

So now they can go dormant in winter then I have ready made plants to go in the ground early next spring.
So i get a longer growing season instead of waiting for runners to grow then cutting them and planting them.

actually, no . I don't. I see no reason to make my kids terrified of strangers. They are taught caution, and to never go anywhere with a stranger, but never told to stay away from strangers. As a result my 5 yr old has never lacked the confidence to approach anyone when he needs to, adult or child.

no, not the same thing. I don't teach them, nor have I ever taught them to be wary of strangers. You can teach them that they are ONLY to go with mummy or daddy, without making strangers the enemies.

I call it choko power.....anyway send us some sand bags, looks like this might be a common occurrence, Karma you reckon hmmm, namaste, a half a dozen of every colour and some of those pretty rainbow ones, gotta show some gay/lesbian support, Qld is rocking now Campbell's gone.

While you're at it can you knit up some nice choko blankets, it's getting a bit cool up here and I hate to see them with goosebumps on their little green bodies.

Happy gardening ya all!
