Yes it must be a sad time for you though I bet you have had a bountiful harvest..
Now its our turn to look forward to all those wonderful things coming from the garden.
While you get on with your Winter vegie program....Cheers..MM.

Keep us posted MM. We are still keen on moving up your way or maybe a bit south of Brissy.
The harvest of tommys this was crazy. So many tommys, and so big. We have enough sauce and relish to last two years easy. Makes up for the lousy years eh.
Cheers Mantis

HI OZ,JUST BECAUSE THE FOOTY HAS STARTED AND DAYLIGHT SAVING HAS GONE. SUMMER CAN'T FINISH YET, MY TOMMY BUSHES ARE LOADED WITH GREEN FRUIT (LARGE)AND THOSE SEEDS YOU SENT ME ARE FULL OF FRUIT THAT I HAVEN'T TASTED YET.SO ALL YOU PEOPLE ON THE BIG ISLAND HAD BETTER START PRAYING FOR THE SUN TO CONTINUE.

Roughie,
Mine are finished but I picked the green ones and have put them in a mini hothouse tha I got in Chickenfeed for about $20 (near the movies in Lonnie) They are ripening up nicely.

GOOD IDEA CG,I WILL DO THAT WHEN I GO TO TOWN THIS WEEK. HAD A BIT OF BAD LUCK ON THE WEEKEND,I WAS DRYING TOMMIE SEEDS IN THE SHED DOWN THE BACK.BLASTED FIELD MICE GOT IN AND ATE MY SEEDS THAT WERE NEARLY DRY.WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN THIS TIME, I WILL TAKE EXTRA CARE.

Little buggers - my cat brought me a present the other night - dumped a live one on my lap - I haven't moved so fast in 60 years! One cold night and they want to invade. Last year we had blood and bone stored in a heavy plastic milking pail type bucket and they got in from underneath and feasted all winter. This year they have to chew through a galvanised dustbin! I dry my seed indoors - eat on my lap and take over the dining room table for seeds.
