"Mmmm - that looks really good. Was it your New Year's resolution to bite the bullet and harvest all the old birds?"

My 30-year-old Feijoa finally fruited. Apparently all it needed was a little friend. I planted a named variety from Daley's, thinking I might get some fruit on the new plant, and was pleasantly surprised to find fruit on both plants!

  • Barbara Tealby I'd heard that about the flowers, so I tried some this year. Not really as impressed as I thought I'd be.

"After de-stocking prior to going on holidays it was time to re-stock with some new birds. I found a supplier on Gumtree - Trevor at Deception Bay. He and his partner have quite a lot of Quails, of different strains, all happy healthy little birds.…"

Picked up some new quails from the people at Deception Bay. Four white girls and a BIG Egyptian boy. Nice looking birds, and nice people to deal with.

  • Barbara Tealby You mean name the birds? Or name the people? The birds may or may not be W1, W2.....and E1. (The grandchildren may have other ideas, though!) The nice people, I know only as Trevor and Aleesha, but they advertise on Gumtree and are at Deception Bay.…

Harvested the first of three pots of ginger yesterday - 1.9kilos wasn't too bad for smallest of the pots. I plan to dehydrate and grind some of this, and grate some for the freezer. Grated is the way I use most of my ginger, but it is good to…

Tromboncinos


For the past few years, I have grown tromboncinos in the warmer months. The vines have grown rampantly, and produced MANY fruits. However, I have found them soft, pale, and insipid-tasting, with poor keeping quality in the fridge. I have in the…

Coriander conundrum


This year, I had a REALLY good crop of Coriander. Planted in the shade of a pawpaw tree in early April, it grew and thrived for months giving us lots of luscious leaves, and then as the weather heated up and the pawpaw tree got removed, it went…

  • When I preserve things like pineapple or pawpaw. I use a medium sugar syrup with citric acid or lemon juice if required. However, to use the preserved fruit, I strain it and the sugar syrup goes down the drain.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how to use the syrup? Can I put it in the fridge and re-use it for another batch?
    I hate to see it go to waste.
