I love that you have a chicken orchard, its always great to see whats going on in your patch.

It must be lovely in Germany at the moment with all the bulbs flowering, I love that time of year. <br />Good luck with your crochet, it is a fun craft isn't it, I have several things on the go at the moment too.<br />I love growing old seeds, they are always interesting and often taste much better than the modern varieties.<br />Thank you for visiting my blog and i hope you have a great day, Julie xxlittlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-3360718286951134272014-03-03T08:56:17.354+11:002014-03-03T08:56:17.354+11:00Thanks Angela, it's interesting to hear what o...Thanks Angela, it's interesting to hear what other people grow in different areas of the world, I have never grown okra here, and I've never tried fried green tomatoes, I'll have to give it a go! I'd recommend Tigerellas, yes, red and orange striped when ripe and great flavour.

Not to mention the fabulous potatoes you guys grow down there, I'd like to grow a pineapple one day, but I think we are too far south as well.... I think if you saw our garden in the flesh you, might run the other way, quite a lot of weeds and dead stuff in amongst the money shots! My garden is always a work in progress :)!<br />Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day in Tassie, J xxlittlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-46806884983302638012014-03-03T08:47:20.071+11:002014-03-03T08:47:20.071+11:00Thanks Lise, wow, conditions have been very differ...Thanks Lise, wow, conditions have been very different here!

I love kale too, such a rewarding crop to grow, easy and prolific.

We live in germany, at the opposite side of your place of the earth. And here we don't had winter. It was too warm this year. No snow and nearly no frost. And now the daffodils and snowdrops are blooming. I love that very much. <br />Some posts before I red about the birds in your garden. For me it is so very exotic. We have cockatoos here in the zoo :-)). But in some towns here like Köln or Wiesbaden there are colonys of green parakeets and they are very loud and eat all the fruits in the gardens around.<br />The crochet things you do are so nice. I started to make a granny-row-blanket and a cushion. I hope it will be ready before summer.<br /><br />Now i wish you all the best and that your tomatoes will be ripe soon. By the way: We have a shop here, were you can buy old seeds. Some years ago i had white, orange, black and green-striped tomatoes in my garden. So my neighbours were very upset :-)).<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Marina from Germany<br /><br />Sorry about my english. I Think it is not so very good, but i hope, you can understand me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-4659568795908515882014-03-03T01:57:14.160+11:002014-03-03T01:57:14.160+11:00It's so lovely to see a garden!

I rarely have any luck with pumpkins, it's either too dry or too wet it seems(but I continue to plant them). lol I've never tried Tigerellas, I assume striped. Here in the southern USA, we're big on fried green tomatoes, just slice and batter then fried. I like to mix them with zucchini, summer yellow squash, and okra, at least till they start to ripen.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069413208192422413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-59959657692302481052014-03-02T20:02:12.887+11:002014-03-02T20:02:12.887+11:00Wow Jules you garden is exactly what I would love ...Wow Jules you garden is exactly what I would love to have. Not a lot is growing in ours at the moment as I've been very slack. We are redoing our whole front yard. I asked the kids what we should plant in it. They responded that they wanted bananas, mangos and avocados. Lovely idea.

It makes me long for spring to come to I can get started at my allotment! But since it has rained SOOOOO much here this winter, I don't know if there is any chance of growing anything this year. We have to wait for the soil to dry out before we can think of digging, so it may be a long wait.<br /><br />Hope your tomatoes ripen soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320749648005615007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-66662415435811708912014-03-02T18:46:07.480+11:002014-03-02T18:46:07.480+11:00your garden has given some good produce.Im about t...your garden has given some good produce.Im about to start to think about what i will plant this spring.First i must replace my cute mini greenhouse that got weathered and <br />deterioated.Hope to have a good growing season like you xjabbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676807234825122277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-23760468108798146392014-03-02T18:07:26.571+11:002014-03-02T18:07:26.571+11:00We love kale here.
