Pretty impressed with the sun golds so far. Where I am it's usually only cherry tomatoes that are ready for Christmas, these look like they'll be close...
Some of the heirlooms varieties are only just getting flowers.
Fingers crossed they'll be on the plate with the Christmas morning fry up! View attachment 19096222 View attachment 19096223 View attachment 19096224

they continually fruit for a long period too . special tomato to me . as a fruit . off the vine and into mouth as they are

Spuds and beans are poking up, about to harvest the radish, been picked chard and lettuces. Happy days!!!
Left the old weed bed this year and just filled it with stinging nettles to green manure the patch around autumn.
They are brutally strong and have massive leaves...

Dicentra - white bleeding heart.(sun scorched)

Pretty much mate. America has much more scary deadly stuff. No bears or bobcats casually roaming the bush.
It's all hyped up and the Aussies love playing into it haha.
Considering I work outdoors everyday, I've seen about 4 snakes in about 14 years... not to say they aren't about...
The spiders are fine, leave my boots outside and never had a lodger in them and you can just squash them if it's a "danger close" situation.

The sun is the thing to watch out for!

Imagine being out picking blueberries and a black bear starts charging you or wading through a swamp full of water moccasins to your secret moonshine still... hahahaha

That's a beast. When I was a kid my old man took me to his 80 year old mates house, he owned a tackle shop and fished his whole life all over the world, the amount of specimens he had taxidermied and put in cases was incredible, though I much prefer catch and release but that was the old days.

Huge salmon, pike, trout and everything else you could imagine, I've never forgotten it!

These days his house would be a vintage tackle collectors wet dream, think it all went to his kids.

my friend mr bean is a keen fisher . he goes to cornwall with his family regularly and gets up early each day, drops his family off at the beach with some money and then he goes off fishing all day , smoking joints

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I could have stole a loaf of bread and been sent over here it would have been a lot cheaper than the thousands I've spent on visa's!
A lot of them ended up with decent sized blocks of land, providing they farmed and looked after them well. That same land would be worth millions now!

He's worked out the formula!

It's all good hearted for the most part and I love giving them shit just as much as they do!

A while back in the women's World Cup, England beat Australia so I put a massive St George's cross on the chipper and drove round getting honked and another on 5 old tent poles and strapped it to the top of a tall pine tree at a big intersection on the motorway. Hahaha
