    Cheers Blacksmith, just hoping it doesn't bolt before the show, watering it as often as possible.

    That sure is one BIG beetroot Zig; my mum's on her way down your way for he hols soon and she loves the things, she could probably sniff them out from miles away :D, if I were you Zig I'd get a security guard :D :paladin:

    The whole plot's looking very productive too :thumb:

      Yep Ziggy it sure is. My Dad used to call the dog a dirty booger at various times and for various reasons. It always cracked me up.

        Quite jealous of that plot ziggy, it's so productive and looks great, but not so jealous of all the hardwork involved. The onion and beetroot are amazing. Goodluck with the show. :dbgrtmb:

        Cheers everyone,

        It does take a fair bit of time, theres always something to do.

        The way I see it, working on the plot, which I enjoy, is better than working for someone else to get money to buy food.:dbgrtmb:

              First ever videos uploaded to Ewe Tube.

              Sorry if they are a bit fuzzy. Too much Tubby Custard.

                Willow is sorting the Tomatoes as I type. One potato was enough for 2 of us today:thumbsup: Sweet Corn got left too long though, should have picked it a few weeks back.

                Did ya see the Pumpkin by the compost bin in the second vid ?

                  Things are starting to go over, but still plenty of stuff coming in. Could do with a few more sunny days to make more car dried Tomatoes.
