I'm not sure how everyone else is going, but this round of growing vegetables etc has been a bumper season.
This was just this morning.
So far since early December 2021, I've donated tomatoes and green capsicum to all of my neighbours, and friends far an wide during lockdowns.
All of my crops are fertilised with worm tea from my worm farm, and a bit of blood and bone fertiliser.
Oddly, I didn't have to dust the tomatoes, so no insecticides this year either.
Lettuces aren't shown today, they are also doing well, though I had to net them after the butterflies got at them the first time. Seems like the butterflies know exactly when to arrive, and they came on-masse.
Cherry Tomatoes
So, my Vanilla Ice Cream tree facts here
has gone gangbusters.
Last year it learned how to make the beans, but this year, there are truckloads of beans. If it follows the pattern of last year, these bean pods will be ready for picking from mid February, and this time, most of them are a LOT bigger than last years efforts. As they ripen, they swell up, straighten, and fill out, and they can be quite heavy.
@KatieC FYI. amazing plants I think out of the blossoms, I'm getting about 15-20% fruit, which seems reasonable.
And I haven't touched on the Strawberry Guava or Boysenberry, which are coming along nicely.
No Olives this year, which was my one failure, because the scale infestation took a while to sort out.
