  1. Fantastic grapes and the kale so tall.Its Spring with temps like that? Wow! That is some serious weather you have there. Yeah Malabar spinach will do very well for you. That mucilage is a bit much for me but in cooking I think I prefer it better. Mine self sowed this year. Those cucumbers are cool looking. Hope to find them here. Great update.

  2. The climbing spinach normally becomes the mainstay of my pesto in summer. I haven't planted one as yet this year.  I'm having a crack at Okinowa spinach instead.  The yards looking good mate. 

  3. G'day Mark. Great looking corn, mine was looking good but it got beaten around by the heat and lack of water. Your garlic looks awesome too – I've not had much luck growing it up here (pick it before it rots lol). I grew malabar (climbing) spinach a while back. Be careful, it grows like the clappas and I found it a bit hard to stomach. It was easy to pull out, but it does drop seeds later on. Your garden looks great for the weather we've had, mine looked dreadful Sunday arvo after 2 days of it. Fingers crossed we get a bit of rain in the next few days. Cheers

  4. Mate…! 43c … Boy I couldn't take that heat if we were to come back now. So, here's a question. What time of the year are you able to grow toms and Cukes with the flies hammering them?

    What other fruit trees could you grow in your neck of the woods? Limes? Any apples? How's the quails and chooks fairing with the heat Mark? Cheers David.

  5. Thanks for the great tour, Mark. I see you are going through what looks like one of our summers in, Florida. The bugs usually end up with more food than I do. We have had cold weather here recently and my banana plants really suffered. The fruit still looks good though. Another cold front is coming through tonight or tomorrow. I've been debating whether I should cut down the fruit and let it ripen inside or not. Always great seeing your garden. Take care, my friend.
