This is our first year here, so we have had to start from scratch. Am looking forward to growning our own summer salads this year. As I said it's a work in progress, the tea tree is going

Dont ever see chokos down my way, wrong climate perhaps?

Chokos $2 each!! When did they come into vogue?

Still thinking about next seasons planting but I put a mix of purple and white snow peas in this year and they are so pretty compared with the usual plain white. The purple is in a few different shades. Almost as nice as having sweet peas.
The seeds were from Big W and are called Snow Pea Yakumo.

I had a third loo. The outside dunny turned sewerage. However the little house was still the same with a mega choco bush. The neighbours were welcome to wander down the drive and help themselves. I don't know how many people I kept fed on chocos

had to look up chokos...known as chayote here. i've never cooked with them,are they good? how do you cook them?

wiki says they are sort of like squash?

I've left two of my vege beds lie fallow over winter but now is a good time to add some cow manure, blood & bone and lime and start planting again.

I try to rotate the fallow beds over winter to give the soil a chance to re generate.

I can't come at chokos, always reminds me of the outside dunny.

Must agree re chokos Jean, totally bland n nondescript to me    .... What are you going to plant? Too early here for planting 😞
