Blink and they’ll quadruple in size. I’ve been adding the small okras into just about everything but the big ones I am not sure if they are destined to the chickens or compost bin. Has anyone tried pickling the big ones?

I did an experiment on thinning - I didn’t thin the beetroot seedlings like I normally do. The 2 biggest on the left ended up living a solo life by chance, where as the tiny ones were living together in 2s and 3s. It definitely affects the size, but I guess it depends on if you prefer baby beets for salads or slices for your hamburgers 🍔

My greatest achievement of 2020 was growing this watermelon 🍉 😂 I have never had success due to rain at the wrong time causing them to split but we had this one grow in a wicking bed and it survived the wet spring. I was going to crack it open on Christmas Day but glad I waited to enjoy it now, although I do regret not planting more 🤦‍♀️

I trimmed the mulberry down after the last lot of fruit in attempt to eventually cover the chicken run. It grew right back within 6 weeks 🤦‍♀️ the garden along here has certainly kicked into gear (cow poo + rain certainly helps). I was whinging to @wastenotcollective about how terrible my comfrey was doing but it is now taking over like it should. Thankful for the rain 🙏

I am trying to restrain the sweet potatoes in our front yard this year to make it a little easier to walk through. Although now the weeds have taken over instead - these paths were fully mulched a month ago. I am not prepared to fight that battle so will just mow them and keep them out of the gardens, the green will help keep the temperature down as this area gets full sun for most of the day.

Hoping this year we get fruit from the Hawaiian guava, I wasn’t expecting it as it’s only 18 months old. I hear these are notoriously bad for fruit fly so not taking chances and making sure we net the newly formed fruit and putting a bait station nearby 🤞🤞🤞
