We planted climbing beans, tomatos, egg plants and passionfruits in our community garden. Currently researching if we can keep chooks there!

Sounds wonderful, INAID .

If anyone is interested, there are some really fascinating permaculture videos produced by Geoff Lawton who's a protege of Bill Mollison.

Go to www.geofflawton.com .... You will need to enter your email address to gain full but totally free access to a whole range of videos. I found the ones entitled "Urban Permaculture " and "Feeding Chickens without grain" very interesting....but they're all very good! :)

We have chooks at our community garden at Woodend.  No houses close by so they also have a beautiful rooster.
GF, thanks for the link.  Will check it out.

I thought I would pop in another photo of the pineapple so that you can see how it looks at the moment. I think it will stay like this during most of winter and then ripen in summer.

It's probably been sitting there for at least two years. They don't grow very fast here. I don't know how long they take in Queensland.

That plant looks so exotic and tropical, Cookie! It's great that you could get it to fruit like that!  :D  Is it in a fairly sheltered position?
