you say tomatos i say relish
you say tomatos i say relish

Well i have had some success in my vegetable patch and some failure.
the biggest under achievers this year has been the Cucumbers and the beetroot. the former just never grew then when i moved them for a better spot they got eaten by snails

My beetroot started looking a bit dead on top so i harvested them to find four marble sized specimens not even big enough for the baby veg category. my basil disapeared without a trace after planting upward of 30 seedlings in different spots.
On the positive side my zuchini squash and tomatoes are going off. i have already been eating them most meals with a plan to go into tomato relish production in about 2 weeks. My tomatoes have been performing solidly i have been getting some good black russian, cherrys, grape and roma tomatos with my first bullock heart ripening yestoday.

As i said in my last post i have been also brewing my own beer, i am starting a stout this week and am looking at doing the irish stout recipe (a coopers stoout kit with 1kg light dry malt) but reducing the liquid ammount from 23lts down to 16lts. it is my first attempt at any kind of expirementing with the recipe but i have it on good authority that this modification will work no worries. will have update on the brew and the relish when that all comes to be. have a good one, dave.

great - grow your own veggies... I'd love to do this. Actually, I'd love to grow vanilla... there's a company in Australia that sells vanilla cuttings for $50, which'll cut down the growth time from 6 years to 3!

That's too bad! Did you end up growing tomatoes, too? My first year with my garden was a disaster but it got better.
