It is _the_ strawberry. Never had much luck in the past, but a freind gave me some runner sprouts and I've been absolutely babying them. Nice shady spot by the fence, buckets of water. One of 3 plants decided to strawb, the others have gone for disgustingly healthy amounts of greenery. Fingers crossed they survive the year. #VeggieGardening #GardeningAu #BrisbaneGardening

Tasted good :)

A couple of my carrots look variegated - look at this neat little number straight down the middle of a leaf! Does this normally happen with #carrots?

Kuroda variety, looking healthy as. #vegetablegardening #Variegation #BrisbaneGardening #GardeningAu

How do I know if a birds nest is abandoned? Or what is it?

I was trying to hack back a duranta hedge to manageable height and discovered this #nest . I pruned around it, not wanting to disturb possible occupants, but also hoping that the missing branches makes it a less appealing site.

That was a few months back. I'd ultimately like to finish the pruning job (but that hedge is non native/semi-invasive, scrawny and already awkward on the ladder)

Probably 4m from the ground so I can't see in. Are nests reused? Can I remove it? Or do i just wait a few years till it rots away? I feel like a 90s cartoon developer-villan!

Pretty sure I put my garlic in too early (first time trying), been 4 weeks and I have just 3 sprouts. Dug up a couple of cloves that hadnt done much except look a little softer at the edge, and one that rotted. Do I give up and put another round in?? #GardeningAU #VeggieGardening #garlic #BrisbaneGardening

Hey pidgey, you wouldn't be looking for those seeds I just planted would you? #GardeningAU #BrisbaneGardening #pidgeon

Do you even eat sunflower madam spinach-chewer? #bugs #GardeningAU #gardeningAus #BrisbaneGardening

Hope the council green bin likes duranta seeds. Trying to cut down on how many there is in the mulch after a hedge prune. Horrible thing. #gardeningau #BrisbaneGardening

#introduction post: Am starting this account to capture vapid chatter around #veggieGardening (#vegetableGardening), that I don't want in my work-ish account. Said #veggieGarden is #Brisbane based so particularly interested in #brisbaneGardening . Also interested in #sustainabilty, (the reduce consumption, anti-greenwashing, pro-science flavours), #bugs and selected aspects of #permaculture. Now off to go follow a bunch of people!
