My little Napoli Dwarf Tomato has a fair set of fruits. Also some flowers, so should produce a good little harvest. I think it will be worth collecting the seeds from this. That's if it pumps out enough fruit. As it only grows to 50cm I guess I can't expect to much more.

This is great forecast for the coming Christmas, definitely going to hot in my part of Australia. I am just planning for Autumn now as it's my best time if the year for gardening and making compost

I wanted to use things from the garden as part of my family Christmas contribution. Early yesterday I picked loads of perpetual spinach and what I think is Brazilian spinach. The rocket is in the photo too but thats not for christmas. It took much of the day, but with the help of a borrowed pasta maker made up a bunch of spinach and ricotta cannelloni. Its all frozen now and awaiting some bechamel sauce and cheese on top before it gets cooked on Christmas day. Used up all my dried oregano so drying more today. Is anyone else cooking food to share with family and friends from their garden produce? I often find that what i can serve others is different to what I can serve my immediate family.

Hello again everyone. Such a sad story to tell today. I never have any luck with my creamy Dutch potatos. The dreaded 28 spotted lady beetle comes along and desecratesb my plants, everytime! I pulled up the potatoes yesterday and to my astonishment received my worst harvest yet. @Marty Ware perhaps you can offer some friendly advice. The soil looked healthy, most of the organic matter had been eaten by the worms, there were still a few worms in the soil. I add minerals to the soil. It is possible that they need more water but everything I show you is all in a row running on a drip line and as you can see everything else is getting enough water.
