4am I started researching grape pruning and sun up I started. 12 hours later and lots of jobs ticked off including lifting and potting up plants (before hubby used the brush cutter), pruning and tying up tomatoes (more to do), dehydrating herbs, harvesting and weeding. In venturing into our jungle of pepinos and grass left way too long, I found a lost bag of manure and an infestation of black scale. Those nasty things will be getting a shower of home made white oil to kill them. They have been an issue before and the amount of ants we have here doesn’t help. Lots of sunny days now in Melbourne, so the quicker I can get the weedy areas under control the better!

@Marty Ware @Steve Thomas and myself would like all members to be involved in sharing what your Planting, Growing or Harvesting in your backyard. Please share photos or videos here in this new category or on this post. Marty is going to run a vlog along side this and Steve is going to help encourage and inspire all members to be involved. PS - If anyone is unsure of how to post photos or videos feel free to message me. I’m more than happy to help.

Not exactly what I thought mild yellow cayenne peppers would be like…

I just started setting up my azolla farm. It's in my greenhouse as a way to use excess water. They will be used as food for mums chooks. Next job will be sorting out the mosquito larvae biological control. Photo to come later
