The plants have been a million times happier since i got the net up... Except one pepper plant decided to get some brown rot on the peppers not sure why. Looked it up said calcium deficiency can cause it, but they just got replanted into 3gal bags of soil couple weeks ago.. Hmm.. Idk i guess 1 plant having issues aint too bad just sucks because theyre also the furthest along, maybe too much stress from all the prior squirrel abuse, bout golf ball sized now but half rotted nearly. Oh well 1/4 bad i can live with for this first try of them :) rest look good tho!

Hi I’ve been a horticulturalist by trade for many years I started growing veg in back yard with Grandmother and Father who at the time was head hort at Brisbane botanical gardens later became superintendent for Brisbane and some of the smaller gardens run by botanical gardens as teaching aids , so my question is what’s growing in you veg patches and on your fruit trees , at the moment here in tassie winter is fast approaching , we had a great spring summer autumn crops salad greens , tomes, corn , ect ect , I’m my yard I have apples , pears , peach, apricot,and this summer started on the citrus trees ,oranges , lemons ,limes ,about to plant out mandarins, tangelo and blood orange . We have chooks to free range in the little orchard,ducks are next just finished up the start of there coupe , we are totally organic in this system I’ve been a certified organic farmer for many years and will always grow our food in this way , we have the same types of pest to deal with but I always tell my kids at least out pest bugs are eating organic so they must be tasty to the good bugs that we attract to the I call it my Farden farm garden , I come off a very large property of 9000 acres my wife says you can take the boy from the farm but can’t take the farm out of the boy . I’ll get outside in a bit to take some pics maybe some of you will do the same , in this trying times I think food and water security is paramount.....

I harvested some cukes, jalapeno & serrano peppers and made some refrigerator pickles in an old gallon size Mason curing jar .
Had to buy the dill and garlic and it's all in a mix of water & white vinegar. Should be ready in about 3 days and will keep for about 6 weeks🥒🍔🥪😎

Hydrangea with a cucumber on some weird trellis thing i taped together. There's a sunflower on the far right. Was hoping to get the cucumber over there to climb it...

Repurposed an old wheelbarrow for an onion tub. Probably should have planted more. First year doing onions.

Cucamelon vine. Another first. No idea what to expect.

Tomato, jalepeno and bell peppers. Strawberry on the far left. Also got some potatoes, snow peas and green beans.

Wish I had the space for a garden. Hate doing the container thing.
