Advice from my hairdresser, brush lots, wash your brush daily and your hair weekly.

Always worth a try, after the Blitz they found plants coming up in London where nothing had grown for hundreds of years, and just occasionally they manage to germinate seed from Egyptian tombs!
The use-bys generally indicate the expected time by which a 95% success rate becomes unlikely, doesnt mean you cant get 50% years later.

Dont worry about the eggs, even little browns are very poisonous, and if this one had bit your chook would have died hours ago. They are all fine, no bites. Score 1 for the chicken, 0 for the snake. Shes a ninja give her a treat tomorrow.

Chickens hate snakes or anything that looks like them (try a long stick and you see them get into fighting mode) They have done the job for you, feel safe now, your ninja chooks defend!

Hubby got similar wooden boxes from work, im using them as bonsai planters and for a few special things in my shadehouse, they work great!

yeah, maybe you dont want 5 week old dead bunnies. Male cats are loners but he has kept your place as his home, and when you come back I think he will zone back to your lap.

We did buy coles meat when my husband worked in the abbatoirs, could actually tell what was happening with it, nothing to worry about, but its expensive, and rather kill our own whenever we can.

Lovely to see Fruitful yesterday, and send her away with a pile of plants she wanted, hope they all do well for you!
I got here thru shoutbox 3, Andre what the world needs is an internet cafe/laundromat, give you something to do in the spin cycle!
Ate Mikey the pigs back leg yesterday, huge roast pork. Lambs heading to the butcher real soon now…[Read more]

I remember going to woolies to buy 2 onions and 2 lemons, not a big ask you would think. Had to go thru a dozen items to find two of each which werent soft. Excuse me, neither onions nor lemons go soft easily, how fresh is fresh?
Our postharvest horticulture lecturer offered to set up a course to teach woolies and coles staff how to keep fruit and…[Read more]

I avoid whenever possible too, think I have bought a Green choice laundry liquid and found it as good as any. Wasnt blown away by the quality or anything, because of power we only ever use cold water for washing which just doesnt work the best with our quality stains.

None here, my elderberries do heaps of flowers but never berries, lol. There are herbal supply places that would do them tho, time for a Google.

portable cages, or chook tractors are great in this situation, simply made with plastic pipe and some netting?
At least start clearing an area, bare dirt is more promising than weeds when stuff gets out of control. Sortof a blank slate feel, but you might be surprised how much you find when you get into it, or coming up from seed with all that…[Read more]

Havent checked mail yet, will do tomorrow

Thats about 4 months worth of rain for us. Nasty hot weather now, kids and I can barely sleep.There is some hope of a shower or two moving thru on Sunday, fingers crossed, its been really dry to date.

Not terribly hard, get to Kanmantoo and follow the Plant Sale signs! I will be home most of the weekend I think, no particular plans.

Kristy, my comfrey is in berserk mode atm, welcome to come pick some up if you want!

send it this way please, much as you can!

Its a sport, just a bit of a growth defect on that branch. I have had it on Echiums, and no chemicals anywhere near. Think the plant is a Pandorea? I have a similar one, but growing at only moderate rates with no water.
Cut off the weirdo branch if you dont like it, it isnt doing any harm to the rest of it.

If its a good roadside sale place, can have my plants over there next week 😛
Theres so many intensive hort crops you could do with that quality land, hard to think where to start.. want some macadamia trees??? hehehe
