The old saying "one years seed seven years w**d" good to remember. What to do with thistles.

A quick fossik with the headtorch tonight. Love the far north climate.
Endive, parsley and celery growing vigorously, good to go with the beetroot salad, the last outdoor chillies not so spicy as in summer.

In the plastic tunnelhouse a crop of capsicum coming on. Basil still in leaf, and a friendly fantail that lives in there greets me.

The tropical guavas and mountain pawpaw are ripe and cheiroimya coming on just as the stored apples get softer. Staymans Winesap has been the star this year and Granny Smith as always a reliable keeper.

Plenty of citrus. Navel oranges, mandarin, lemons, clemantines.

So I'm collecting apple scions on the ascending moon for grafting in a few weeks as the sap is up in the branches, filling the fridge to keep them dormant. The daffodils are in flower. They are an indicator of spring for me. Its hard to tell when winter is in the far north. The flowers know. We should listen to them more.

Message me if you want a pack of 6 apple trees for your orchard at the bargain price of $200.
We choose for you from our extensive collection of heritage apple varieties. Old fashioned apples with real flavour on hardy rootstock.

Golden Delicious you only reallly get why they have this name when they are fully tree ripened. A golden reddish blush perhaps some red spots and you have it. The ones in the shops, if they still even have them are picked unripe, and never get sweet.
So many older people remember this variety as a standout from their childhood
Recommended for home orchards, a good pollinator and does well in warmer climates as well as those truly suited for apples

Sad to hear of the fires in the Grampians.
Halls gap has been evacuated. We were there a couple of years ago. So special to walk among wild kangaroos and emu at close quarters. I grieve to think that they would have nowhere to escape to.
For us this plunge pool is also a secure water resource should our plastic pipe/tank system melt in a bush fire.

Pool before Christmas.

Hopefully!
