Brauhaus Fritz Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Here is my Choko, last year in made a net out of string and the whole front of the veranda was covered with the choco vine. As we are going overseas next week I couldn’t be bothered this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltop hops Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Got back today after 5 nights holiday. Plenty of tomatoes to pick. A rat has also helped itself to a few big reds. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Micky Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Summer garden on a go slow. All a bit late this summer - especially the tomaties........Almost all of this vege and fruit was propagated from store purchased cuttings.

Classic Brewing Co Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Looks really great, I don't have the area that you have but I have a few things happening around the place in pots, Carolina Reaper chili, Tabasco Chili, Thyme, Parsley. Rosemary in the garden & Mint in a separate pot as it attracts insects that attack other plants. If I got more sun out on the front verandah, I would fill it with more pots. It's not worth me growing tomatoes & lettuce etc as apart from no room I am surrounded by fruit & veg/supermarkets that sell it cheaper than I could grow. I may try some celery after looking at yours. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, do try some celery, it doesn't get to the amazon size we see in the green grocers but it's full of flavour. Your garden looks great mate, especially some of those beautiful looking chilli's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Very nice crop there @Mickep. SWMBO has a nice crop of lemongrass happening here, as well as other assorted things. In fact we have an overabundance of chillis at present, so some drying and freezing of those going on. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks awesome KM @kmar92, love your lemon grass mate. And what a crop of the fiery little suckers. Coles sell a stick of lemon grass for about 5-6 dollars. The bride would use at least half a stick a day. Good thing it's growing the backyard. Now just gotta plant a lime tree - those suckers in Victoria are at a ridiculous price and SWMBO goes through a couple a day.

Ya got the Real Estate filter on your camera there @Mickep, you know the shots they use were a 2.5 x 2.5 m bedroom looks like a whole penthouse floor ha ha. Now with celery it has to be grown quick, lots of food and water and sunshine. They are a bit like bananas, very hungry and you have to feed them as often as you are watering them. I grew some good crops of celery several years back, feed them Thrive every second day and watered well only we had to go away at the wrong time and the big crop dried out and got all stringy. Such a waste. How are your bananas going @Malter White ? Multiplied up and jacked that fence of yours over yet? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with lime trees here in Melbourne are the bloody gall wasps, they will destroy a young tree in months and there is no real cure once they find the tree. They killed my lime tree and then when it was done they moved onto my lemon tree and killed that so no home made ginger beer for a couple of years now. I would like to get another one of each but just a bit gun shy ATM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 1.2m high now. So it's grown fairly well considering the neglect I provided it. With all the wet weather we had through 2022 I didn't spend much time in the garden. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were & then their position was replaced by another & now they are officialy the hottest. I find if you are careful & only use small amounts, they are fine.
