Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

Great harvest Astarra.

My first pick of veggies from my little garden

Nice Mab. The ones you grow yourself are the very best.

Astarra that sounds delicious and Margaret yours looks delicious. We have a few snake beans in at the moment as they love the heat. My peanuts are looking good too, I expect them to flower soon.

A nice variety there Mab. Nothing like home grown vegies.

Well done Mab.  They look lovely.
Yesterday Ral and I picked a bucket of Cherry Plums, 1/2 bucket of white peaches and a punnet of Mulberries. I have cooked the plumbs and will put them through the Mouli to make pulp and then add berrries to make jam.
Probably make peach and pineapple jam from some of the peaches and also dry some.

Chookie do you have fruit fly there?

Chookie do you have fruit fly there?

Cookie, no fruit fly.  Lots of white butterflies. Lots of parrots who love the peaches.

I'm not having much luck with cherry tomatoes this year - I got an idea from Better Homes and Garden where you plant 2 different coloured tomatoes in a hanging basket and it serves as a Christmas decoration for the patio. Maybe the pot is too small.
The pumpkin vine has a few small pumpkins on it.

It looks healthy enough though Michele.

Michele, yes the pot maybe too small.  Once a week I give my pots a drink of liquid manure. On the whole I do better with plants in the ground.

[mcmich]

Thanks Chookie. Do you make your own liquid manure from the chooks? Would there be something I can buy from a nursery? What brand would you recommend?

This is a photo of my peanuts growing. A couple have had flowers but they only last a couple of days and I missed them.

Is this your first try with peanuts Cookie?  How long do they take until it is time to harvest them?
