Looking after ourselves

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Don't it feel so good to pick your own 🍅😁.

Do you have a dehydrator @Sophie1 , otherwise possible in a regular oven, you can semi dry cherry tomatoes (best kept in freezer) and use them in muffins or other savoury dishes.

 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

@Former-Member  No dehydrater but I do have an airfryer oven so may look at what I can do with that 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

@Sophie1  now is the time to plant veg in the "brassica" family.

Land cress is a plant that attracts white cabbage moth away from the brassicas, a friend told me about this and said she had excellent results using this and gave me some seedlings, it self seeds readily and I have been able to pass on seeds to a number of friends.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

First zucchini of the season picked today, the plants in one of the wicking beds are not doing so well so might need to water that one regularly.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

hello @Former-Member , @Sophie1@Smc@Daisydreamer@Adge , @Former-Member , @Determined@Anastasia@Emelia8 

@Emelia8, I love your photo of your meerkat garden Smiley Very Happy

 

well our Avacado trees are totally packed this year , one of the trees is on the council land as it came up by itself 

beeing picking them and mum has been giving them to the ladies who deliver the "Meals on wheels"

have to wait for the higher avacadoes to fall from the trees now -- we have 3 

 

Saturday I spent the afternoon garden mum`s gardens , got a few gaps now , so have to find a groundcover that flowers nearly all year and loves full sun 

@Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member , @TideisTurning@MissTreated 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

@Shaz51 it sounds amazing having avo trees around you. I am a little jealous!

 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

love to give you some @tropicalsun Heart

the oldest tree produces the biggest, creamy avacadoes 

and since we had our house fire 13 weeks ago and we have moved in with my elderly mum 

our avacados are being picked by passerbys 

but that is ok , as long as everyone enjoys them Smiley LOL --- ha ha and people are telling us they are yummy 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

@Shaz51 That would have been great. Love a good avo. Lucky for those passerbys they get to enjoy them. Hope you're doing well after everything that has happened. 

Take good care of yourself,

tropicalsun

Re: Self care by growing a garden

@Shaz51  I believe your avocados are being scrumped.
