Morning ladies, I'll join in! My vegie garden is doing well, lots almost ready to harvest! Sent the kids out to pick the thousands of snow peas yesterday and have enough to feed a small nation! Carrots are coming along nicely, it's a battle to convince the kids not to pick them and feed them to the horses. Sweetcorn growing nicely and I've harvested several cucumbers. Had green beans from the garden for dinner last night - delish! Surprised we haven't got any zucchini yet! Having a problem with the tomatoes - nasty green caterpillars are eating them before they are ripe enough to pick Any suggestions of a chemical free way to get rid of them?

I think my blueberry (which I only planted about 6 weeks ago) has not survived the recent heat, it has turned brown and dry looking. Will give it a week or so to recover and hope for the best. We planted a stack of fruit trees about a year ago and have a lovely crop of plums. Picked some yesterday with a lot which will ripen in the next few days, think I will stew some to have with yoghurt. I'm generally not much of a gardener - told my mum she can harvest whatever she likes if she takes charge - it's a co op vegie garden! But mum is away so I have been forced to get out there myself or we will lose all our hard work. Think I could start to enjoy it!
