That is great goldfish  :D :D

Chookie, hope the Wasabi does well.  We did have some horseradish planted here in the herb garden and it took over, we could not get all the roots out so DH concreted over the area and we put the herbs in large pots.  Much easier for us to manage.   :D :D ;D

Just got back from the local Chook farm, went down to get a trailer load of manure,$10 .  There was a special on, you buy a $8 tray of eggs and you can have the manure for free  ;D.  We did get eggs on Saturday but another 30 won't go astray and saved $2 as well LOL

 AB,$8.00 a tray of 30 is so cheap.  We have 11 beautiful chooks and as well as poop and lots of eggs they look after the weeding and keep a large area well maintained. Love them

My cauliflower did not form proper heads. It kind of exploded out with long stalks ans litle tiny florets in the ends. I think this might have been caused the dry warm spell we had in August. I am a little disappinted but my Kale is doing well now that I have the snails under control.
