I was rather impressed, my cousin might be an airline pilot but his projects at home are a struggle most of the time......

He's put together a little Aquaponic setup with a few small Tilapia, he has a cucumber, miniature tomato and few others.....seems to be working!

My bonsai are on autopilot, and I'm a bit frustrated by the lack of sunlight where I do have space to grow some food.

I have more Basil than I need, but that's it

Well done Kev!

Thank you

My mint has gone nuts as people said it would. I only had a big pot left to plant it in and its full already. I'm glad I didn't make the mistake of planting that out to take over the beds.

I could do with some basil...

Are we talking "medicinal basil"

No!

Basil for Thai chilli and basil dishes.

Basil.......making ham&cheese sandwiches great since 1898

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #303 on:** July 13, 2018, 03:22:04 PM

Mint will do that....

My previous flat in the mining town had few shoots of the lawn and a strawberry with 2 leaves in the garden.
18 months later I had a small lawn and an L-shaped bed with strawberries, goose berries, ginger, rosemary, basil, several types of flowers and lilies.....and more than I can't remember now.....I really miss that.

I was reminded of that because I planted 3 types of mint under the tap at the from of the house, got hammered by the afternoon sun but nothing stops it....

Just careful showing your little tree.......you would not think it considering where we are.....but some here thinks it's cruelty to plants.

Ok here it is. Any chance of saving it?

Kev D · **Reply #306 on:** September 05, 2018, 05:06:17 PM

Not that I know about such things, but it looks quite healthy to me with the deep green leaves

Kev D · **Reply #307 on:** September 05, 2018, 05:07:38 PM

My pumpkin plants are producing pumpkins. It's the first time I've ever grown them so pleased they are growing ok. Only 2 of the 6 plants actually grew through, and the pumpkins are only ping pong ball sized at the mo, but it's looking hopeful.

Aloha · **Reply #308 on:** September 05, 2018, 05:14:09 PM

A little more than a month later and its seems to be happy. Yes the green leaves did indicate health. There was some concern stress and neglect might have been an issue. I have had plants that appeared healthy take a turn. My pomegranate for example was doing so well then $:-\$ not so much. I am happy to report the bonsai is fairing well. I'll have to snap another picture.

Cold weather moving in so I harvested all my corn. Not bad for a first try.

Wait until you taste them.

Aloha · **Reply #312 on:** September 25, 2018, 08:06:51 AM

Looks decent enough.

But don't leave them too long - they're best really fresh. Also, if you have a lot they freeze well - leave them in the husks and just chuck them straight in the freezer.

Kev D · **Reply #314 on:** September 25, 2018, 04:40:24 PM

They taste great, and I already husked them before freezing most of them.

Garlics up. Planted radishes and lettuce today.

Yadda · **Reply #316 on:** March 18, 2019, 06:27:14 AM

Early spring. I already have tiny peaches, apples and pears.

I am so behind this year

I need to till some ground up and get some seeds in the ground

Kev D · **Reply #318 on:** March 18, 2019, 11:54:58 AM

I've got my potatoes chitting ready for planting, I need to dig over my raised beds this weekend to get the green manure stuff dug in that I planted to protect it over winter. I've got my greenhouse cleaned out and shelving put in, and all my seed trays ready to rock to get all my seeds planted soon. Spring is well on the way so time to get planting. Onions, garlic and early potatoes will be first I think.

Kev D · **Reply #319 on:** May 25, 2019, 08:10:09 PM

My raised beds are all growing nicely again this year. I've netted my cabbages and cauliflower this time to keep the cabbage white butterflies off.
I've created a potato patch behind my garage to.

Garden a couple weeks ago. It was to wet to work then and still is raining. I havent been over to moms in two weeks so hope the garden isnt run over by weeds.

Kev D · **Reply #324 on:** June 01, 2019, 09:00:52 PM

I painted all my bed boxes today.
Bit of a slow start because of the extended cold period, but its growing nicely now.

Recent blooms in my garden and pots.

Beautiful Yadda, you’ve inspired me to go and snap a few of my own, will be back

Late summer here in Sydney, nice time of the year

Yadda · **Reply #328 on:** February 20, 2021, 01:46:06 PM

Fantastic! Photos like this get me excited for spring! We just went through an extremely hard freeze here in the Houston area. It will be weeks before I know the complete impact to my garden. Hoping for the best, but knowing I will also have to start over with some plants. Such is the gardener's fate.

Echotech · **Reply #329 on:** February 20, 2021, 11:58:06 PM

I’ve seen it on the news Yadda, extreme isn’t the word. Hope you family and garden all good
