Yes what a wonderful concept to share produce and food.  I get so much pleasure when people come and I leave with home grown veggies, it has been so hot I really need to replant corn tomato beet root and spinach.

We are finding its the keeping up so there is always something coming on.  Pull something out - plant something new is the way to go.

Our very small patch has suffered badly from the heat.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

28's here  >:( Not happy as they just love trimming the tops off all the tomato bushes. And they pick the green ones and toss them on the ground for a laugh. Wish I could shoot them! The dogs do catch them and eat them, but not enough!
Sheep poo cookie1 - I've put heaps of it in my vege garden and it has gone nuts. The veges seem to be coping with the heat - and we've had over a week of 40-43's up here. It is a great mulch and a slow release fertiliser and no weeds.
I'm picking tomatoes, capi's and eggplants.
I should look like a tomato - I eat about 5 a day on my toast for breakky and then for lunch.  ;D
Picked about 8 eggplants today so going to make my yummy eggplant pickle tomorrow.

I'll have to get some Nikkit. I haven't used any since my family left the farm.

Darned if I know Judy!!  :)) only a few very small ones left now so will try to pick them ASAP as soon as they ripen. I'm thinking I was lucky to get as far as we did.  Maybe nets next time......I'm thinking maybe I should show the photos to the nursery that persuaded me this would do the trick :))

GF that is exactly what we found! A toppled owl.  After that we got our boys to build a big (but attractive) cage around the veg patch.  Haha tough luck possums!

cookie1 - me either. Not too sure why it has taken me so long to get sheep poo on my garden! My roses have gone crazy too - they're loving it and are having a second flush now - so pretty  :)
There's a guy NOR who delivers. He's great, unloads it where I want it, and reasonably priced. Buy 10 bags and he gives you one free.
Not sure if I am allowed to put his name here - but can PM you if you want it.
