Sittin in my shed....

Well Mate, the Missus and I are trimming. Green. There's an awful lot to do.

We're pulling the grow just as small amounts of downy mildew are visible under some leaves and on some stems. It's still high 20's (Centigrade) here and the humidity is up a bit.

We have bananas hanging ripening on the verandah and plenty more in the garden. We have Pittaya which is a central American cactus that gives big globular fruit that to me tatstes like pears. High vitamin C and Magnesium.

There are tomatoes too. They grow wild here.

But if the supplies stop we will surely starve to death unless we snare wallabies and eat them. At least that worst-case option remains.

I have a couple of indoor plants to trim in the next few days myself, should take my mind off the current situation....

Got the patch forked over and going to get some bits in tomorrow

And some sun, it activates your body's usage of the D you take.....

Cheers mate, I’m taking a multivitamin, plus I drink a fair bit of milk.. pretty sure it’s the flu I got as I’m sneezing plus it’s a productive cough.
Codiene helps stop the cough, and weed opens up the airways well! Hope you and yours are well

And some sun, it activates your body's usage of the D you take.....

As long as the weather plays ball, I’ll be outside digging which should help.
Hope you’re keeping safe mate

Sun was shining...
felt a bit shit... but ... Mrs brunch and I got the potatoes in

Good to get something out. Peas , lettuce and spring onions in the ground tomorrow... got the tomatoes in the cold frame now too so it’s freed window space for cucumbers and courgettes.
Forgot to get pumpkin seeds but I’ll be looking.

 

[mr.brunch]

Spring onions and lettuce out...
Might save the peas for tomorrow, for something to do

 

[mr.brunch]

Got the peas in yesterday and today got some pumpkins, cucumbers and courgettes in pots- mrs b went to the supermarket and found some seeds just in time.

Hope you’re keeping safe mate

Thank you sir, you stay safe as well....

 

[mr.brunch]

Thank you sir, you stay safe as well....

Keeping my head down as much as possible, waiting for the situation to change...
Just managed to score a grocery delivery order, not until 3 weeks but it’s a result.
Was advised to sign in between 11:30 pm and 12:30am as that’s when the slots are released- had to queue online for 20 minutes, but this means I can get all of our stuff plus my wheelchair bound mother in laws groceries too, then drop them off to her door.
Gov seems to have forgotten about her...

 

[sdd420]

Good on you brother! Stay in and stay safe

 

[mr.brunch]

Still pretty quiet.
Lots of barbecuing round my neighbourhood at the weekend, so I guess most are staying home.
Its been hot and sunny for a few days but today the temp has dropped- 25c yesterday to 12c today - so I expect the garden will be even quieter.

I’m going to brave the grocery shopping this afternoon, hoping the queues won’t be too bad... 25 minute wait to get in last time... got to be done though, the freezer is looking bare.
In a way, the queues are a good thing as there’s less people wandering about aimlessly- I’m more of a get in ,grab, get out person at the best of times.

Hey buddy how's tricks, the queuing system for grocerys is brutal. I am experiencing the same waiting time as yourself, some people stand 5-6 metres apart some even more ffs, makes the ques look miles long. Good to see your spud beds and veggie garden up and going, does raise the spirits..

I am guessing the ques outside the barber and hairdressing shops will be just as long by the time this is all over lol, I just shave mine off. All the best to you and your family and stay out of harms way.

Hello mate, hope all is well as it can be
It’s a bit disheartening when arriving at the supermarket and seeing the queues stretching around the car park, although I’ve seen a few people look at the line and leave so I guess it cuts down on unnecessary journeys at least.

Mrs b has her hairdressing bag so at least my hair won’t get too out of control.

All the best to you and yours

Pumpkins and cucumbers have started to sprout

if youre UK you can sign her up online as a vulnerable person and she will recieve a basics needs pack, fresh fruit, onions spuds, tea coffee milk etc, I was reluctant but my wifes paid N.I a lifetime and it makes up a bit the 14months with zero sick benefits suffering from lung cancer.


Sounds like the plots rocking, Im caught short germing seeds this year and may for the first time grow from supermarket purchased plug but im thinking the produce will be worth the cost.


Good luck all. keep that spade sharp mr B

 

[mr.brunch]

Thanks mate I will look into that... she definitely deserves it, paid in all her life but like so many her age too proud to ask for help.

I’ve been using a site called garden focused . Co . U.K. for my plantings this year, put in the postcode and tick what you are growing and get back the best sowing dates etc.
Takes the mind off the situation I suppose!
All the best

 

[mr.brunch]

Well I think I timed that right... only 2 people in the queue when I got to the store, and we all walked in as I got there.
Result.
They also had everything I needed apart from hand wash, but got soap instead. Even had antibacterial dish washing liquid.

I think someone a few streets across from me has drunk a little too much as there’s been lots of incoherent singing and shouting - must have gone to sleep now I think.

 

[mr.brunch]

Well I was supposed to be saving the trim until later in the year, but this lock in is getting a little boring.
Out with the ice!

Good roast dinner and a joint with coffee... I’m much less bored now

God damn! Now I'm inspired.

I always wanted to try Gumby Hash. Perfect timing.

I highly recommend it
I’ll be sleeping well tonight.

I also recommend using a doubled-up paper coffee filter at the last stage as it saves waiting hours evaporating off the water.

that shit shouldnt be legal


my bub bags could do no more repairs and past away 3 years back and tbh the dexo extract is another level you cant always be on, this may inspire me to rip our lasses tights off and get back to some old skool tinctures while Iwatch the grass grow
