We give the garden only just enough water to keep the plants alive, prioritizing the water usage on the veges and edibles. I also love to grow mustard, so easy, tough, and there's always a green for the dinner plate.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-46045850268451205692017-11-15T12:16:41.184+10:302017-11-15T12:16:41.184+10:30That poly tunnel of yours is really a very product...That poly tunnel of yours is really a very productive little area and I love reading and seeing what you've got going on in there.

The cherry tomatoes are the only ones that seem to survive the fruit fly onslaught. We have two pineapples that should be lovely and ripe in the next couple of weeks. There are more starting to fruit up around the garden. We just plant the heads and pups as we get them.<br />My blueberries are at about the same level of ripeness as yours. I have lettuce in abundance, the silverbeet are starting to leaf up and my second planting of green beans are coming on. My red kidney beans are ready but I want to leave them to dry right off. Passionfruit has formed on the vines, pomegranates are ripening and the lime tree and the kaffir lime are loaded with fruit.<br />I was given a roller barrel compost bin for my Birthday. Happy dance. My first lot of compost in this barrel is just about ready to go on the garden. I have comfrey/weed tea that is just about ready. I use this as a foliate spray. <br />I love your garden and the wonderful abundance.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-32841271401154671502017-11-13T17:52:40.930+10:302017-11-13T17:52:40.930+10:30Your garden looks amazing!

Some use charcoal or heat beads while others just use the flame from gas or wood burning. There are so many types of barbequing devices on the market now, but ours are quite old and very simple. The gas "barbie" is a flat piece of heavy cast iron sheet heated by gas burners underneath. It was a throwaway that we rescued!! The Kettle Weber is a brand name of a kettle cooker that is heated by gas but has heat beads to hold the heat. I can cook casseroles and roasts in there which is perfect in the hot weather so I don't need to cook inside the kitchen & make the house hot. Today a chicken is roasting in a heavy cast iron pot inside the gas Weber kettle. It's really old too, but I love cooking with it.

I can't take credit for the vegetable garden, that's Brian's "relaxation" time out from his workaholic daily work schedule. To me it's hard work and time consuming, so my little patch is more than enough for me.

You've inspired me with the pineapples, I keep the tops and then don't get around to planting them. I've had a few growing, but only just discovered recently that they are perennial. I thought they were a once only plant, so have pulled them out in the past. Not any more though! I look forward to seeing the rest of your food garden.Lucy Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15220069204348364586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-78023483671833733282017-11-13T11:48:41.150+10:302017-11-13T11:48:41.150+10:30Inspiring.
