Thread: Gardening

nice garden. and top looking pizza oven.

nothing better than a couple of mates sitting on you deck, admiring the hedge you just pruned

Only used the oven a few times, hate to think how many bottles we've put to bed with a little help from our friends.
There's more garden to come, I've got a globe artichoke asparagus patch which the king parrots have taken an interest in

Huon - Love it.
Here is my yard this autumn, few more leaves down & i'll rake them into rows & pick them up with the mower.
Given up on the cabbages though, it will have to be Tesco for the curly kale & purple sprouting to go with christmas dinner. The caterpillars haven't left much even after feeding my pet robin with up to 30 of them every couple of days.

Thought I'd post a closer look at how I grow my tommies

Mark, here's one of our yellow robins. They love it when you start turning over the ground as do the grey shrike thrushes.

The chooks feel safe at our joint

Hi Huon. It is dry. Really dry. Normally we get a reliable flow of storms at this time of year but only one has come through and what rain did fall fairly bounced off the ground. The real problem is the small plants we got in the ground at the end of winter so they could harden off over spring got cooked by the early heat.

That's gardening in Australia sometimes though I guess.

Your garden looks great Huon! Very jealous. The down pipe hydroponic set up is great.

Is that chook a Speckled Sussex or a Wyandotte? Very pretty chook.

G'day Berlin, it's a s/l Wyandotte. I've got d/l barnevelders and white barnevelders as well. Hope you get some rain soon, raining here at the moment. Not looking forward to summer though, already had a couple of grass fires nearby.

Hope you're getting some rain, soaking rain, Berlin

Hope you're getting some rain, soaking rain, Berlin

Huon - how about some photo captions for us 'foreigners'.
A couple look pretty scary & I know one of them is a dog.....

Mark

I'll have a crack Mark and Huon can correct me - in the last set of photos there is a yellow faced honey eater, a Death Adder, a Golden Orb Weaver and a Silver Eye... and a retiever.

Huon, we did finally get 15mm and more looks likely today but there won't be enough to flood the patio! I hope that water didn't get any higher!
