Caulieflowers look great, well done.

The snow peas were melting mammoth, I can't remember which variety the sugar snaps were, but they were super juicy and delicious!

Looks great Gazza :thumb:

We are inundated with the snowpeas and sugar snaps, I picked three icecream containers a week ago and daily feasts straight from the bush.

Eating sugar snaps straight off the bush is the best thing about spring I reckon.

Next best is eating the biggest, ripest strawberry shhh :dont:

What a fantastic garden guys.. you should be extremely proud.

My only question is how did you get your a dinosaur into the kitchen without causing any damage? ... and a blue one at that.

That, Charlie, is a specially bred pygmysaurus. I got some shipped in special, to help with caterpillar control...

'Tater towers worked quite well, next time ill do a few more and stagger the planting times.

Very nice Gazza. I'd get another crop in now if I was you. We grew potatoes in the warm months, as long as they get water they should grow.

Already onto it Faye :thumb:

I have another tower awaiting harvest, one that's still growing and i'll plant another today. Do you reckon sweet taters would work as well? I tried to sprout some in a glass of water but they just went mushy :sad2:

Some are definately better than others. Come here and I'll give you some shoots that are good. I have grown a few at home, they took ages, but Brad Pigg still manages to root around and find the odd one. I think there are a couple of secrets to growing them, not sure what they are yet. I'm finding them a bit hit n miss. But they sure make a great ground cover in summer if they get water.
