wives tales

Its been a great few weeks in the garden, i have mulched and fertilised.
the baby geese and ducklings are growing fast,in a few weeks they will have their feathers.

Lost a trout last week, did some reading and discovered the weather could have got to warm for them, i read you freeze water in plastic bottles it helps to keep the water cold,(didnt try but will next time weather gets warm) in a few weeks will be getting some barramundie, i planted lettuce in the aquaponics today, and i got some more natives to plant up the back to bring in the birds, i also got a boysenberry to plant.

Covered the patotoes with more pea straw and gave them a fertilise.

the mango is covered in flowers this year, i was told to rake up the leaves and burn them under it it help sets the flowers, its a old wives tale from a old italian lady, any thing is worth ago the last few years the flowers have not set.

any tips are worth trying and hearing about, shared knowledge is the way to go.
we all have something useful to share.

baby geese

had two baby geese born on friday they are cute, all the other geese are protecting them as they venture out into the yard.

put some cues and capiscums into the aquaponic grow bed they are going really well and getting new leaves everyday, been in for a week now and have grown a inch. the trout will be ready in a few weeks to start eating.
