ccbear make sure you wear protective glasses when dealing with stink beetles. My citrus isnt very tall so i just pick them of with old gloves and drop them in a bucket of hot soapy water or wack them off and hope they fall in the bucket so i don’t have to pick them up.

I think the best thing is to just act like you would with anybody else. The world is full of rude people and if you let them get to you they have won. My mums mum was rude to her for 30 years and i was always more proud of my mums actions than i was angry at the treatment gran gave her. I am sure that as what happened to my mum everybody will…[Read more]

replied to the topic What did you harvest today? in the forum Vegetables 12 years, 2 months ago
garlic,spinach and some broad beans. This is my first year harvesting garlic and read you should put them out to dry in the sun for a day or two before moving them to a dark well ventilated place for a few weeks. Hope this is right as i can’t wait to try it, I’m sick of the bleached stuff from china we get here in sydney.
