Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

Mab, sounds interesting. May be a pumpkin.

There has been an odd seedling growing in the potting mix in with my potatoes, so yesterday I put in it's own pot to see what grows.  I hope it isn't a cucumber, I don't like them and they don't like me.

LOL You will have to let us all know what it turns into Margaret.

I'm hoping it will be a pumpkin or maybe a zucchini.

Love there little free plants. Found some self seeded parsley today.

Baby artichokes picked today. Have only ever had those in the jar. Reading up how to prepare them.
Bought 4 tomato plants today. Won’t be planting them out until mid November.
Have started picking snow peas and the broad beans are covered in flowers.

Planted out a dwarfed Bay tree today and looking for a good hot spot for a fig tree.

Gave a neighbour some eggs and she gave me some seedlings.
Gave a SD loaf to our gardener and she brought Ral some honey from a neighbour.
Love this cashless economy.

It's a lovely way to live, isn't it, sharing between friends and neighbours.  I think it brings communities closer together.

It sounds like a good deal to me Chookie. The City of Ballarat certainly suits your lifestyle.

We have a friend with a big garden so I swap sewing and mending for vegetables.  Also fresh fish if DS has been out fishing.

It all sounds perfect.

Nice to see swapping is alive and well.
No tax, no GST and builds friends and communities.

Our two small vegetable patches had another work over today . DS and I added some soil to top them up , we forked them over so many times to mix it all together and we added sheep manure . Finally  we are getting closer to planting out the vegetable seedlings. The soil was a little to sandy thus the amount of fork work needed. A bee decided my hair was a plant , it got into my hair and buzzed like crazy , DS & DD came running to see a mad woman screaming . DD managed to pull it out with a clump of my hair ! All good .
