We usually plant various types of lettuce, cherry tomato's, cucumber etc. For whatever reason we neglected it over the past 6 months. We have no lettuce, when normally there is too much. We could've paid off our mortgage with the prices its going for currently! We always talk about our own veggie garden but never get around to it, maybe this spring is the time...
Seeds etc will probably be ten times the price...

Veggie garden is a real passion of this little black duck. Always get my seeds from Eden Seeds Qld... heirloom. Cos lettuce is the only lettuce we grow... Iceberg has all the nutrition of a mouth full of air and water! Grow Rocket, two varieties, Kale and Coriander. Then carrots, beetroot, radish, basil, cauliflower and broccoli. Yum. In summer... pumpkin and no less than 15 different varieties of tomatoes... make our own tomato sauce and pasta sauce. Yum.

I love a vege garden. I need to really feed and dig over my beds, as last few seasons disease has set in and ruined too many crops. Also not getting as much produce as I used to. Snails and slugs really cause a bit of grief to the garden at our place, so it makes it difficult. Digging over has also become a bit harder because of knee surgery last year, so I need to give that a bit more time. Might skip this summer and go again next year.

The crap weather has killed off all my winter produce, given up on it.
Spent the last three weeks dealing with COVID, have never been so ill. Missus was critically ill at one stage. Now barely have the energy, will or motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
I don't understand how the world works anymore, I don't understand why it's all too @$*ing hard out there. Can't get this, or that, no work, no people.... It's like the whole world has just given up.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Nice, I'm envious....Agree on Cos vs Iceberg, can't get into Kale though and don't get the hype around it, yep nothing like the home made Sugo on your Pasta.

I had my fourth vaccination a couple of weeks ago. That makes 2 X AstraZeneca, 1 X Moderna and 1 X Pfizer. Apart from feeling a bit seedy after my first AZ, I’ve had no side effects.
My only complaint is that my mobile phone coverage hasn’t improved ?

Scomo wasn't switched onto having the chips changed to local transmission bands! >
