Only half a tray left now :P cant be wasted, I don't have a freezer!

That is really cool!! I might try it. I hadn't even considered anything like that, the only thing that had crossed my pea brain (hehe @wyoDreamer) was to weave some portions to cover the degrading garden edging. I pulled a strand along the top of the ducks gate which is only chicken wire, just...

It was amazing! Didnt expect it to be as good as it was haha. Today I made an omlette with mushroom, bacon, parsley with sliced spring onion on top. And another soup with mushroom, bacon and baby kale (from the garden) to have later. As well as some cherry tomatoes and apricots to snack on that...

Hello :) welcome!

Does anyone do any basket weaving? Or how do you use vine-like plants from your homestead? I was trimming the Ivy today and thought I might give weaving a go one day. There is not enough to make anything at this stage, but that stuff grows fast! I have played around with weaving other vines...

Picked a zucchini and bit of parsley from the garden this morning. Now it is in a pot with bacon on the stove for a soup lunch.

Modibodi had a great boxing day sale, so today I got my delivery of brand new undies :D I love them! They were delivered in a compostable post bag with individual paper packaging inside. I am so pleased. This lot should last me for the next 5 years.

Some observations for future me - Veg garden beds are no good for under trees, the trees send up their feeder roots and strangle everything in the bed, even through a layer of very thick cardboard. Pots may work provided they are wobbled every so often to deter roots (growing down or growing...

I had a container full of seed packets, thinking oh they say they're viable until 2021, plenty of time :) . Then that sudden realisation - oh crap its 2021! So that is some of the plan for today. Find a few little pots and start some more seeds. I have planted a few direct in the ground but I...

Haha brownies are a cure all! I was able to get all I need, and the ducks are laying for next time I am in a baking mood :)

One thing I am glad about with this vaccine, is that it brings out that side effects actually exist. Victims have been dismissed and ridiculed for years, and now even mainstream media is supporting the fact that certain people can react badly to "safe" treatments. Vaccine injury cant be...

Fried rice with chicken and sliced cool cucumber

I have the same mentality there! I use a cloth hand towel in the bathroom, but I always use paper towels in the kitchen before I prepare food or to wipe up grease and stuff like that. I go through a lot of them too but figure I cant be perfect at everything! And when I can, I do chuck them in...

I was admiring my canopy of trees this morning. I have added a few but it was the people before me who had such fantastic planning of the placement. I really hope this house survives for the rest of my life for me as its been built with such love. The colourbond fences have creepers on about 80%...

Good thing I didnt share the pic! (of the massive window spider, not the spider bite on the bum). The huge spider had moved to the back door to greet me this morning. It was gone when I got in from watering, hopefully not under the door... Got three ant bites to add to the bite collection...

Today was watering. tomorrow will be watering and the next day will be watering :P Its not as hard as it used to be. Getting some bits to pick certainly helps, now feeling like the effort has got me somewhere! I munch on the takings for breakfast while I walk around and water watching the...

Huge spider on the kitchen window - on the outside. Was quite fun watching its little chompers while making dinner. The spiders are out in force this summer! I dont much mind them, but am getting a bit annoyed with spider bites. Its late at night here now and I was about to do the washing until...

this might be a dumb idea, that I am going to try anyway, but could they be used as mini fruit nets? I haven't got great nets for the grapes and I was looking at the empty onion bag tonight thinking it might fit just nicely over a single bunch of grapes . I'll give it a go, but suspect the birds...

I enjoy fasting, I can get quite a high from it. I think it is a great thing to have in the tool box. Various types of fasts for various uses. Long fasts turn meditative and spiritual for me. Shorter fasts seem to act as a soft reset, boost my energy. I use it when I require it, but am not...

Total unintentional discovery :) I occasionally throw out a handful of black sunflower seeds from the stockfeed for the wild birds. Those that landed in the strawberry pots grew of their own accord. They are pretty and smaller than the tall seed type, but do still get a nice seed head I can...
