Cashmere is worth it Joono.

Cashmere Joono? Maybe expensive, but warm

Evening Stringers 🙂

Achieved little today - sounds like you lot have been busy shopping, working, growing vegetables and even a bit of cooking 😮

Do I feel left out? Nope, whilst you are all so busy, I can revel in a lay day to recover from yesterday :^O

j*oono - do you only have one snow pea plant?  We used to grow them but they rarely made it to the kitchen - a bit like Karen here :^O

I have two Laney.  Only two because they are in a planter.  One of them I thought I lost at the beginning because it was getting eaten by something but it has survived and has a couple of flowers iteself.

They'll be so yummy, Joono. Much nicer than the shop bought ones. I bought a big bag full the other day, at exorbitant cost, because I love them and don't have any growing atm.

One of the funniest things is giving a gift to someone, knowing they don't like it, then watching them pretend to love it 😄 Most amusing :^O

We have a huge mandarin tree here and this year it was full of fruit.

Never actually liked mandarins (could not stand the pips) until the last couple of years.  Watched them ripen to almost ready stage.  When I went  to pick some the other I found they had all been eaten out ........ hollowed out .... but still hanging on the tree :_|

At least they did not get to our navel orange tree

Oh no, what ate them? The parrots eat citrus around here, but they mangle them completely

RATS!!!!!!!!

:^O

Being so close to the river we do suffer from them around here and we cannot put baits down because of Licorice Legs :_|

Have put out a few traps but always have to be very careful - don't want her big black nose getting caught in one!

That is what was happening to ours Laney. I thought it might be possums?  Once the cockatoos got to them they ripped them off the tree and scattered the leftovers around. So, there were definitely two types of critters after them.

Well here it is definitely not possums Prim.

I told you one ran into our kitchen once?

I can laugh about it now but LL and I were alone in the house and you should have seen us 😮

It was as big as a bandicoot!

I must say though, it amazes me how they eat out the fruit because the branches of the tree are fairly fragile - they might hang off the side of the roof I guess lol
