That looks good veg. I haven’t had many tomatoes yet except the cherry tomatoes. I have had to pull out 3 plants because of wilt (not sure whether it was fusarium or bacterial cause I didn’t look that closely). I have a couple of plants in another bed that don’t look to healthy, think they might be candidates for wilt also.

4 are cherries.
Think, my old man is trying to become more sustainable, with the goats, bees and the gardens and the eggs from my chooks.

Oh I’d love to have gold laced Wyandottes again. Do the roosters get agressive when the hens are broody, or are they always a placid bird?

He’s got a bit of the problem, I’m the one Pushing him with the bees to get more hives he wants to stick with 2, got him to help me start another one, hopefully I can have a Hive of my own and share the other two. Goats, I help worm, feed, and trim feet, Chooks and Garden all of my own work.

That he is. My current rooster is a New Hampshire/Isa Brown cross but he is destined for the pot, especially since he is an aggressive bugger. Goes me all the time, and I haven’t been able to assert authority over him, even though MrS has. He will be replaced by a Rhode Island red from one of our friends, because I prefer to keep the Rhode Island stain pure if I can (even though the last hatching wasn’t).
veg gardener said:

Sounds good. We are trying to be more sustainable too, but not sure about having goats and bees. They would be a lot of extra work and we don’t really have the time to look after them properly (not to mention I’d be scared of the bees LOL).

they aren’t that scary to me, I use to catch them in glass jars when i was little and got a few stings, dad thought once i got stung once by the bees that be it i wouldnt help him, put it this way now, hes a tad scared of them.

Ask questions about the photos ill try my best to explain them.
grr lost a msg.
Yes I see the queen but was an amateur beekeeeper for years and am about to begin again the hives are ready and just waiting for a swarm to happen and away we go.
I lost a heap of hives during the drought here in 1982/3 and was helped further by a plague of wax moth and ants
but still have most of the gear so back to work as there is nothing like honey straight from the hive. I used to sell quite a bit as I had 16 hives and it made for busy lifestyle as I was a shiftworker those days chasing trains :)
A good seller was honey comb at the time. It was fun watching people munching away and honey drippling everywhere from their mouths.
As a tip here is a good place to by bits from he’s fast to respond and cheap….including postage.

Took them Gloves off to use the camera, wasn’t the best idea I dot think, first time I used the suit one got in there with me, and I didn’t know what to do. It will be Interesting to see if the Non bee keepers can find the queens. Looked at that site before penders is good as well, its not much out of my way from work, or I’ve got to go down to the Newcastle to pick stuff up.

yep, little fluffy queen, Unmated, needs to go and mate with the drones. few other pictures see if you can find the queens in them, see the frist photo look closely in the cells and see if you can find a little white line, like a grain of sand thats the eggs the queen lays.

Painted with white out so she is easy to spot in the hives.
Ahh, cool. Went to a…. what do you call a honey-producing place? It wasn’t a meadery, they mainly sold ice cream and soaps and candles and things.
Anyway, they had a hive set up with clear plastic walls so you could see what was going on, and spot the Queen with her white dot.
