Well, I finally finished that batch of BBQ sauce that I started a few days ago!! Smells (and tastes) pretty good!!!
I got back out in the yard today and continued burning more rubbishy wood and started stacking more of the cut wood. Since I filled the big kindling box, I moved a pallet down under the plum trees and made a start there.
I was going to pull up the corn… but I quit not long into the project as it was just not feeling comfortable on my back. I’ll have to do it little by little. A lot of them take a lot of force in the effort of digging and pulling them up.
I’ve got a bit of time before I need the patches to put the garlic in.
What do you reckon this problem is?? I haven’t actually done any research on it. I know its also been nibbled but the hard scaley looking crust is a new thing to me. I have one offending plant. I really should pull it up and chuck it on the fire.
Funny – I haven’t looked at this patch for ages… seems among the weeds some lettuce survived!! I have plans to empty this raised bed and move it into the duck yard garden. Its not an ideal place to have it with hungry cows next door.
Pumpkin beds dying down – a few nice pumpkins in that lot.
This crazy tomato plant grew in the path… who am I to argue?? I may even get some fruit off it before the frosts arrive! Looks pretty healthy and happy – and BIG!
I’ve been taking in capsicums while they are yellow but waiting for them to turn red. They taste better red.
Lettuce is lovely and plentiful now too.
Still plenty of beetroot in the patch. Will probably need to pickle some more soon! Its been so so so good! I eat it almost every night!
I did a bit of a potato scavenger hunt. Not that we need more potatoes but its still fun to dig them! There have been a few plants here and there that have yielded quite a few potatoes without any help from me!
I didn’t do a proper tomato pick.. just grabbed some of the obvious ones.
I’d like to make up some more tomato paste with the tomatoes I have hanging around at the moment.
I’ll have to investigate my levels of jars and bottles before making up any more relish or sauce.
Perhaps soup should be next on my list!
Anyway, hope your weekend plans are great!
Cheers!
