Djinni, your girls will soon settle into their lovely new home. Fox proof is so important and also to keep the wild birds out with their worms and lice.
Marina, the Chookies are very social. Nice to get one to help you.

I have been trying to unsuccessfully trying to dry some beans for seeds for next season. You are supposed to leave on bush to dry but the season is too short here.

I don't know Judy. People give mw seeds and I plant them. These were pretty spectacular on the bush.

Judy, I have taken a photo for you of a lettuce plant that has gone to seed. I wasn't aware of the tip to bend the top over.
Should I do that now, or leave it a little longer?

ES, bend it over now.  Or you can pull it out and lay it on the soil.

I bought some radish tape to plant.  This is a paper strip with seeds inside it.  You lay it on the earth and cover with a thin layer of earth. It is double the price of a packet of seeds at $4. Don't think I would bother again.
We have some very attractive gum trees at Invermay and Ral has collected some seeds and is going to see if he can grow some.

DH went off with 2 buckets yesterday, and picked..
Avocados, lemons, lemonades, mandarins. Now we have 4 big bowls of fruit to eat.
