Hello all old GA’ers.

I “found my way to another forum and who should be lurking in the shadows of that forum but Bubba L!

Well what a nice suprise to think that I have been missed. Well ok maybe missed is a bit strong but notacible not there perhaps.

Well hello to you all .

I have done a quick scroll throught eh old style forum that I so fondly remember ….and must say preferd and saw some old names such as luky1, bubba, PM, Pomolo, etal.

Well I wont say too much now as mrs Spanner is looking over my shoulder to see who I know and what I know.

She was more excited than me at me beiong found……. well almost.

Any way till next input, cya.

Spanner, good to see you back in the fora.

Good work, Bubba Louie

OK. It does get a bit overwhelming.

As long as we’re throwing pedanticism about:

Wrench:

6. Any of various hand or power tools, often having fixed or adjustable jaws, used for gripping, turning, or twisting objects such as nuts, bolts, or pipes.

OK. It does get a bit overwhelming.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Indeed.
(That could be the understatement of the year Bubba.
Like saying the Olympics suck a little bit…)

Me too. It gets pretty funny on SSSF too but a little more MA+.

oh I have so missed all this “pedantism”.

In answer to some of the questions:

yes,

No,

sometimes,

nah!

heh heh …. oh I am a funny man .

Yes I hgave the front nature stip vegi garden but it has shrunk somewhat from before as i now hav planted a bunch of fruit trees. Soi oin the front nature strip I have: rose water apple tree, carambola tree, 2 x jaboticaba’s, another fruit that is some reletive of the lychee but have forgotten the name, finger lime, lemon, custard apple, guava, passion fruit vines, ginger, cardomon, and a no dig garden with cucumbers, wombok, pak choy and silver beat.

Now in my tiny garden in the back “yard” I have banana, miricle fruit, lemon, pak choy, parslet, mint, vietnamese mint, lemon grass, cucumber, basil, peas, beans, tomatos – lots of tom’s, more parsley, greek basil, more parsley, cardomon, a cress of some description, marigolds for the Mrs Spanner, and some other stuff that slips my mind at the moment.

In the house next door where we “ajist” out chooks we have corn, mulburies, sweet spud.

Phew.

Now I am looking at removing some of the precious veg garden space with an aquaponics system to grow fish and veg.

As far as my nick name I am not a particularly handy handyman and where I used to work I was helping a fitter and turner with some mechanical work and he said I was as useless as a f&(*&^ing spanner and the name just stuck really.

right.

back to work

spanner said:

Phew.

….

right.

back to work

You’re not kidding!! I feel lazy just reading that! :)
Sounds awesome. How long have you been working on the garden all up?

Hmm … not that long really.

I only discoverd gardening a few years ago,… maybe three years I guess… possible 4. Actually it is 4 years because little spnner is 4 now.

I have also “made” a no dig garden for the kindy where little spanner goes. There they have (and I :( maintain) toms, basil, corn, cucumbers, watermelon, pumpkin, wombok, letucce, peas, parsley and some other stuff I can not remember. The kids love it and I see the other parents being led around the garden each morning when I get to do the drop off and pick up of little spanner.

Oh by the way old GA’ers. Little girl spanner has a 12 month old brother spanner.

Oh you clever Spanner! Don’t fertilise them to often or they’ll eat you out of house and home. LOL.

too late by far …. daught5er spanner is going to be tall and son spanner is going to be fairly bloody gigantic. Should have seen his feet when he was a newbie spanner. That was the first thing every one commented on after they got over the shock of the ugly little critter …. and before you all go “ you mean daddy … all babies are cute” .. well no there not!!! even the mother spanner agrees that he was an ugly bugger at first. Imagin a tiny Monty Burnes with no teeth screaming at you in the middle of the night and you get the picture. :)
