29 March 2011.Rainy day, grass growing, and weeds growing. Nothing new in that. We have had the wettest summer and the only vege that really seems to enjoy it here is the cucumber. The eggplants hate it, the egg laying chooks hate it, and even the mossies are leaving us alone. The passionfruit vine that did so well last year has had 1 flower! At least we have cracked fertilising the Granadilla , and have some fruit on that. And our chooks have been joined by a surrogate, a bush turkey babe that thinks she is a chook. So that's fun, even if she eats the chook food. I cannot believe the speed that the grass grows. Pity we dont eat grass---and ants! then we would be self sufficient.
