Sorry no do like

Prickly pear can be used as a vegetable, sharpen the edge of a spoon and scrape of the thorns, then thinly slice and cook. It is only a cactus and this is how the Mexicans do it.

The fruit is also delicious, using rubber gloves rub of the fine prickles in cold water, cut open and scoop the flesh out.

Good emergency food.

This I just found and…[Read more]

Hope you did not pay him. First I have hear of it and I do a bit of home maintenance. Cost of washers is bugger all.

Thanks Dan look forward to it

So how much is it I could not see a price.

Just started raining here, can not get cheap dry mulch for my chooks so i try to shred every bit of paper i can lay my hands on. Love that junk mail.

Leave the straw as they will be getting help from the bacteria to set up their
immune system. Just put a bit of fresh stuff on top.

Sorry to her that can the tree be cut back. I lost my two native seedlings earlier this year.

They tryed in Qld last year but a group of Lawyers told them they would do a class action

Leave them on the vine to dry is the best drying method. This will depend on the weather. If you want a lot in storage keep picking and freeze or dry by some other method than mother nature

Coles will be doing the same as Woolies. New label. New Look come in sucker.

By the way do you know that Coles plain brand chicken stock does not contain any chicken only chemical’s.

85 mm in the last 21 hrs and it has just started light rain again. O well time to get wet as some things have to be done with reports of the rain continuing through to next week.

Quite agree, my chook shed is flooded and their yard is a mess. The whole area around there is under water.

Tomatoes have taken a bashing and I have a pile of seedlings to plant which at the moment is a no go.

Went to the bottom of the block and it is completely saturated and i am on a good sloping block. The creek is running fast and wide as…[Read more]

The taxi came at 4.45am to pick up my mollster to go to Melbourne. It was pissing down rain and for some reason he insists on backing in. Well he missed the drive and got hung up on the drain under the drive way.

Just what I needed, find the tow rope, take the ute out and connect up and tow him off. All while it is still bucketing down.

They are now starting to drill between Noosa and Gympie for the extent of coal deposits and have also applied for a permit to explore and drill in the mary valley.

looks like the dam may have been the better option.

Found another bucket of beetroots so total 12 jars. I think they are as bad as Judyb triffits

Beetroot, preserved 7 x 500mm jars yesterday and will get about another 6 today me thinks.

Should be ready to eat next month and will keep us going till Xmas

Hope you all have a good day and the weather stays fine.

At the moment we have small squalls coming from the east. Hope they clear up later.
