Picking my first broccoli head today:) No more buying it at the shops for awhile now:D

Elf only eats home grow broccoli, doesn’t like the bought stuff.

i had mine go to seed, all the others ones went to the chooks.

Pepe has talked me into put pulling up the plants for the chooks, bunnies & quackers. But to get the second shoots off them for the kitchen instead.

Oh yeah Pepe, plants aren’t too close….:)

….talked me into NOT pulling them up straight away
- i still think your will double your returns if you pick the broc for about a month.
- your fancy tom seeds are up in the hothouse as are all the spring onions.

Going to give it a shot. Saves buying it at the shops. Not that we buy it often.

– your fancy tom seeds are up in the hothouse as are all the spring onions.

Oh good. The seeds I sowed back before my dad came down for heart surgery, haven’t germinated yet.

very colourful – sorry about the delayed reply – ms p is home and on holidays and a whole pack of girls left for a day of op shopping. i had to wave them off.
your tom seed are up but i might have a serious case of wilt in the hothouse with those old strung up toms worst effected. ah well thats par for the course with me and toms. sigh.

last time i pulled a cauliflower, the soil went all over it, and couldn’t wash it all out. so now i always cut the heads for cauliflowers and broccoli, before removing the plant.

i popped in on L1 and elf today – to return the hughie cds.

her broccoli is something to make the average vego weak in the knees – i hope her blog photos do it justice – there must be ten perfect heads.
someone had better give her some broc recipes.

Always interesting reading what grows when in different places. Mine bolted to seed, even the progressive harvest of side shoots was short-lived this year and now most stems have been pulled, split and enjoyed by the poultry.

Not sure that the weather is entirely to lame either. I feel that the switch in suppliers to Bunnings, of “budget range vegetable seedlings”, away from Pohlmann’s might have something to do with it. Not necessarily just varieties but how the seedlings were started and their pre-sale conditions.

Can’t say I blame him: the homegrown would taste like butter even with no flavouring additives (salt, pepper)

Broccoli Casserole

A woman goes to her boyfriend’s parents’ house for dinner.

This is to be her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous.
They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal.

The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty fart.

It wasn’t loud, but everyone at the table heard the poof.
Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend’s father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing under the woman’s chair, and said in a rather stern voice, ‘Skippy!’.

The woman thought, ‘This is great!’ and a big smile came across her face.
A couple of minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again.
This time, she didn’t even hesitate. She let a much louder and longer rrrrrip..

The father again looked at the dog and yelled, ‘Dammit Skippy!’
Once again the woman smiled and thought ‘Yes!’ A few minutes later the woman had to let another rip. This time she didn’t even think about it.
She let a fart rip that rivaled a train whistle blowing.

Once again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled,

Dammit Skippy, get away from her, before she sh*ts on you!’

Lounge room blitz cleaned out cabinet

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/

Oh I so need to be out in my garden…..

I am here to assure you that I only clean my shelves when they are so loaded with farmer’s dust it’s almost unhygenic…

Also, Mr Lucky’s photos are lovely: I especially like his shot of the apple blossom as I have never seen apple flowers before…he’s got something right going there with his photography…

…and Lucky, can you please advise the Moon Plantings for October?

Ta muchly

As the elf doesn’t put his lungs into the cabinet…. this helps to not need to clean it as often.

Passed on your good comments about his photos:)

I see cooking food as a way to relax as well. Maybe its just cos’ I love food in general.

spuds
carrots
broccoli
cauli
asparagus

these are to go on the plate next to the chicken pie that has eggs sliced on top of the mixture, full of meat, peas, capsicum, peas and white sauce.

Going to be 20 here today…. so I’ll have the elf out in the sun…keeping me company while I start the no-dig extension.

Not sure how far I get with it today…..I’ll just plug along until I can’t do it anymore.

Asked elf if we had a crow bar as I’ll need to lift a couple of sleepers…no we don’t have one.

So I’ll use a shovel. The sleepers haven’t been moved for at least 4 or 5 years.

Off to have a huge feed of weet-bix….. Think I’m going to need it:)

Good Vibrations:D

Man I just got to use the wiper sniper for the first time ever….:D

Elf is no good for gardening at the moment. So I got to play with his toy.

He’s worried I won’t share now…..LOL

My arm is still vibrating from the motor.

No wonder we call Bunnings “The Toy Shop”….. they have the best toys:)

Paper down in place and bunny litter boxes clean out and their poop added to the new no-dig area.

Taking photos as I go along.

Time for a skinny coke break.

Well the new no-dig area is up and braking down into soil as I type and you read:D

Less lawn and I have my eye on another area for next year……… early in the year for that matter.

Just coming in to load up the photos and see if they are okay…have a shower and then do some story telling over my my blog.

Elf is out the back, hugging his new toy.

Quick question, i just had a look at your fantastic Leeks and always wandered why i could get all that white like you have, how soon after planting do you put the toilet rolls around them?

Rook

Rook said:

Rook

Once they were big enough to support the leeks. A couple of months after I had planted them. This left them to benefit all the sun for growing, before I started to blanch them.

So leave them for roughly 8 weeks and then put the toilet roll over them, i would have thought they would have been to big and green by then. Will the green turn to white?

Yes……. you’ll know when they are big enough to support the leeks….say about a pencil thick. That gives a better idea, as they might grow quicker you way….lol

Thats a great tip, thanks Lucky…….feels like i never left the forum :-)

Well I for 1 of many am glad your back….

I am so proud of my effort today……. I have a new area for growing vegies and I had to do it all myself….

I learnt how to lift sleepers and pavers that were compacted with soil and lawn.

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/

Just love the whole idea of another area used for feeding my family and not just lawn to gobble up water.

Yay I’ve been waiting for that update :)

Lucky I think I will copy your methodology when I set up my raised vegie beds. I am going to fill roughly half with junk sand, then lay down paper and instead of buying ready made soil, try to make my own soil on top of that. I like the idea of growing something quite soon, instead of having to sit and wait for a long time.

I’m not sure I will stick to pure no-dig though – if you used the same ingredients but you did dig it in and around a bit.. it will still end up making nice soil, right??

Thanks for the kinds words Bon. Yes you can do this….. If I was in a hurry to grow food from the actual area I’d use some compost and mushroom compost with my worm casting to put directly around the seedlings.

I don’t see why you can’t. Elf asked me that question today….. its the same makeup of ingredients, just its mixed up and not layered.

OK, thanks :) I’ll just tackle it in a fairly experimental way I think, depending on the different materials I have available at the time!

Pumpkins sounds like an awesome thing to grow first – keep it nice and shaded to stop it drying out.

WooHoo! Mr O40’s said I can have another area of the lawn for a vegie patch !! I have to decide whether to make it a “no dig” or not. I rather fancy a raised bed this time. Hmmmmmmm food for thought !!

Thank you rook:)

We are already eating so much from the garden and there is still more to come in food varieties.

Last summer I concentrated on feeding the soil for about 3 months and its paid off. Big time:D

This year I have a feeling its gonna be a bumper summer for us.

Buggerdamnit…………

9 plants to find homes for and not the room for them. So off to the toy shop to buy some mushroom compost and goodies to plant the seedlings out in….. in the new no-dig area.

Then the new area will support the zucchini, nugget pumpkins and squash.

Well planted out 9 seedlings in dire need of a home as I miss judged how much space I had in the old no-dig area…..

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/

All worked out fine in the end:)

Now for a late lunch and a rest I think.

Your a busy girl Lucky.

I was just reading about how you treated your vegie patch soil for 3 months and you got great rewards by doing this.

What did you actually do ?

Bluddy hell i’ve asked some questions in 2 days :-)

I promise to not ask so many next week

I kept adding duck, chicken & rabbit bedding to the areas. Along with sheep manure. Compost when it was ready as well. Just digged it in and left it to rest. I am a firm believer in feeding the soil and this in return will feed the plants.

I still feed leafy greens worm wee and charlie carp and home made manure tea and Pepe’s pigeon poop/water mixture when he gives me some (just not all at the one time) for those little “power boosts”. Then I get a result like I am having this season.

Bite your tongue, great having questions asked…makes us think:D

Going to pop some of these chives on my spuds and sour cream when I get around to cooking tea.:D

I’m a home wrecker:(

Found that poxy feral bird’s home.

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/2008/10/lucky-versus-poxy-bird.html

Gone gardening, with my camera (of course).

I have knocked off in the garden until next week sometime…… My body is sore and tired from all the playing of the last couple of days. Turning the green manure was hard this morning. Done though. I will add some gypsum and that bag of sheep manure next week too. Sooooooooooooo glad I mowed the lawn last night.

House needs some TLC and we are meeting Benny’s parents tomorrow when they come for a BBQ and Anne wants to see my garden.

sounds serious business when you get to meet the parents!

been browsing through some country real estate listings. certainly plenty to choose from from run down old shacks to mansions with magnificent gardens. Just depends on how much you want to spend!

Gee that poxy feral bird is a bluddy messy one ! What an untidy nest!
Ours have built in a Japanese Maple this year. Too high for me to get to. Last year it was a hanging basket and the year before in an orchid pot.

I can’t really tell you how it should be grown because I just stick it in the ground and it grows. But mine is much, much bigger than yours.

OK, we all know you put good goodies into the ground, what is your pH like when it comes to Rhubarb? Rhubarb grows well in the acidic soils of the Adelaide Hills yet you in the North flatlands of Adelaide would have an Alkaline soil, what with all that limestone in the area….

What is your pH?

Gee that poxy feral bird is a bluddy messy one ! What an untidy nest!
Ours have built in a Japanese Maple this year. Too high for me to get to. Last year it was a hanging basket and the year before in an orchid pot.

Blasted birds are out scrounging around the yard…I’ll have to keep an eye on the area in case they build a new one there again.

I have a pair of noisy miners that have built their nest out of bits of my spanish moss that is growing over a branch beside their nest. Talk about convenience!

I like noisy miners, such cheeky birds, full of characters. One sits in the tree over the cat’s cage and teases her. He’s done it so often that she now completely ignores him LOL.

Now, Indian myners – those I’d like to take slingshot to!

my rhubarb is only just starting to shoot lucky.
so i’d give yours a bit more time and maybe a square of shadecloth if its in full sun

Now this is a *_very*_ interesting photo of your rhubarb Pepe. As its crown is above the soil. I had mine like that and was given the impression it should be further down in the soil….. hence a mad dash outside and a revamp of #9. when I first bought him.

LOL……. today is bad for me…. no energy the last few days…. I did give blood on Wednesday and I have put it down to this.

I have done the rounds: picked up some of my motorcycle parts that were sent off to be blasted, bought a Hot Devil Weed Killer and some bonsai potting mix and fertiliser from Bonsai Art. Also had a little wander around Garden World but resisted the urge to buy any plants. Did buy a little bonsai bridge for my group planting with mock river though :)

As you know we have been out at Pep’s paradise this morning. So much to see and the elf had his macro lens….

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/2008/10/pepes-garden.html

I didn’t pop any wide shots of your garden up Pepe…but I can do them here with photo bucket if you want to show your place off.

Pepe’s place as so wonderful and loved the walk around his fence line we did. I’ll send you some of the photos Pepe……..via email:)

I should get my camera out a take a few pics of flowers opening now in my weed patch…

Hey Lucky, what type of flower is the second one, i have to get me some of that

oyster plant…pepe knows another name for it.

oh – so thats what they look like in focus.
well done L1 and elf.

the second one is ‘acanthus mollusc’ Rook
its the flower the ancient greeks used to carve on their corinthian columns.

Schinnus Mollus (sp?) I think. A popular hardy plant but I see it in so many vacant blocks of land I think of it as a weed.

acanthus mollusc

Are you swearing at me pepe….lol

i’ll see if i can find it, i have 2 big 5,000 gallon water tanks and i want to plant low maintenance flowers around them, how do you think they would go.

acanthus is a weed so they would go very well thank. mind you my garden is made up of legal weeds – poppies, daisies, hollyhocks, and lots more. they are all carefree and practically no water so they water might be kept for something more thirsty..

Pepe, just got off the photo doing a tour around your garden with Deb.

She wants me to pass on her admiration of your garden. Talk about drooling in the phone at me….lol

She’s very jealous of the area you have and now understands why we love to visit your garden. And you thought it was for your good company….LOL

Only kidding…love seeing you and the garden.

Debbie loved your poppies and we took just over 100 photos…….. oddles and oddles of beautiful photos of your garden.

I think sometimes because we see our garden all day everyday…. fresh eyes to see that garden is needed…to tell the owner how stunning their garden is.

——————————-

it should be easier to understand now.

the damp area by the rainwater tanks is possibly better used as a bog garden or pond area. these types of damp gardens are very good for birds, frogs and spiders.

all moluscs look the same LOL- thanks for the clarification BG.
sophie thompson and trevor nottle are writing some good articles/ books on the use of drought tolerant plants in sa.
its a mighty fine line between weed and good plant – that fine line needs to be explored.

Okay all you green gurus out there who rave on about Italian parsley.

Mine is going to seed:(

Now fair crack of the whip……………….. you lot said…….. “it doesn’t bolt to seed as quick as the other one” …pretty sure you lot said this…..

If I cut the flower stems off will the plant still produce new leaves????

Lucky, I cut the flower stems off my corriander and basil and they both kept growing more leaves. I’ve never had parsley go to seed. I planted some when we first moved in and it lasted about 3 years without any help from me. The drought eventually got it.

Thanks Sue…….. I have the curl parsley and it goes a couple of years. Just amazed that this Italian parley is going to seed so quickly. I’ll just leave it to go to seed…if I really wants too.

Just sorted out broad beans, spinach (thanks Pepe) into 2 piles, 1 for salad and 1 for cooking, broccoli & asparagus.

Just so relaxing sorting it all out and thinking how lucky we are to be able to eat all this great organic foods.

looks good.

Been outside and given the tomatoes a feed of potash & charlie carp. (found that in the cupboard) fed all the leafy greens, also #‘s 10 & 11.

Tied the tomatoes up to their stakes more.

Flossy & Cadbury have clean hutches, their bedding went onto the new no dig garden area.

Going to leave the netting off the new no-dig area.

Inside now to make us some hamburgers with the works.

Check out my celery patch:D So proud of it.

http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/2008/10/tomatoes-celery.html

stop showing off or i’ll sneak around with a bucket of earwigs LOL

you know i finally harvested my winter celery by chopping the stalk off at ground level. its shooting again from the old roots.???

that celery looks great Lucky, I have bought some seeds, but that is as far as I have got!
