hey HP your artichoke pickle worked a treat.
we must have discussed it on chat threat.
we had them last night. a couple of friends dropped in – the old antipasto was assembled and everyone like the chokes.
great.
i might have mislead people by saying the pickled chokes were preserved in the marinade. this is NOT SO. the marinade is used elsewhere and the pickles are preserved in olive oil.
ms pepe is now doing artichoke pickle en masse.
she’s on her second jar now.

Wonderful!! At the price they are in the shops, grow a paddock of them and bottle and sell them!
Save ya mowing it! LOL
this is possibly the shortest thread on record.
so – i’m in several pickles – i worked from 6.30 to 8.30 this morning doing gardening chores and ya kno’ wat? – most the time i didn’t have a clue what i was doing.
examples -
how to prune – guava, loquat, capsicum, tomatoes and raspberries.
frames – do i need a 45 degree bamboo frames for cueys and rock melon to grow over?
how seldom can i water pumpkin and tomatoes over summer and still get a good yield?
i have a second year cherry tomato producing fruit.

i don’t seem to be getting a lot of feedback on this topic LOL
let’s try this -
eureka stockade day dec 3rd
the population of victoria increased 7 fold between 1850 and 1880.
of the gold prospectors who came out from england – all of them paid their way – they were middle class england – and 90% of the men and 80% of the women were literate. they were better educated than the ones they left behind and definitely better thinkers then the convict soldiers and the squatter governors they encountered at eureka.
many people (including me) think the modern world was born on the same day as australia and the eureka stockade is probably the symbol of that birth.

Do you know, I don’t really know anything about the Eureka stockade =/ I don’t recall it ever coming up in school. I should read up on it, but the thing is, unless I actually take notes, then I will promptly forget what I read.

thank you bon.
the eureka miners were blown to bits by the convict soldiers and the squatter governors but
their gold prospecting buddies had established newspapers and institutes and had taken over all the towns and cities as municipal leaders. therefore , the day after their defeat at the stockade, the melbourne newspapers took up the cause – and won us our liberal society……

1500 word essay in first year Australian History at ANU in second semester 1987. Portable electric typewriter and lots of liquid paper. Photocopied articles and literally cut and pasted paragraphs from the articles onto blank paper, then paraphrased for the essay. In my room at Toad Hall (self-catering on-campus accommodation).
Would be hard put to tell you much about the topic though ;)

was given a T-shirt with the Eureka flag on it. Only ever wore it in public once. Was accosted on the street by some dead-beat who thought I was a unionist. Geez!

pm said:
I’m sure this wasn’t the case, I reckon’ you had an inkling of what you were up to
examples -
how to prune – guava, loquat, capsicum, tomatoes and raspberries.
pm said:
easy one, secateurs and maybe a pruning saw would have been adequate.
frames – do i need a 45 degree bamboo frames for cueys and rock melon to grow over?
pm said:
You can, or you can let them ramble all over the garden bed like a pumikin.
how seldom can i water pumpkin and tomatoes over summer and still get a good yield?
pm said:
quite possibly would depend on how you water and how often as opposed to simply how much???
i have a second year cherry tomato producing fruit.
pm said:
not uncommon.
and I always enjoyed the story of Eureka. I like the flag and its symbolism, but am a little disappointed in how it has lost its charm.

when darwin published his “origin of species” he told everybody in europe (and the new world) that royalty were the direct descendants of apes – not the direct descendants of god as they had claimed for 1,000 years.
this killed off the rule of kings, church and aristocracy and replaced it with …. well modernism….municipal rule…. democracy …. or rule by the merchants and professionals.
it all took place in europe, argentina, brazil, canada and australia in about ….1850 – 1880 ….hey isn’t that about the time of the eureka stockade?

bikies like that flag – so do all sorts of people – apparently it was used by the people who ran the chinese out of australia.
thanks for your hints PM.
- except the pruning guide where you stated the blithering obvious LOL.
i have decided to build a frame for the cueys to keep them off the ground – i have a teepee but p. bennet reckons a lower frame is better.
pumpkin has always seemed a low water plant to me – but so is tomato according to me. i’m revising my thinking and wondered if anyone else was withdrawing water from pumpkins.

yes, it has been used by so many groups now that unfortunately for many it has lost its original meaning.

A pity really, I always thought it would make a great Aussie flag.

I rather like some of these suggested new flags: http://www.flagsaustralia.com.au/newflag.html
(scroll down to the bottom)
I often see the 3rd from the bottom flag on bumper stickers.
