Just about harvested the lot, thank god, with only a few small ones not being eaten. Probably got 10-15. Now I know I can grow them I'll plant fewer next season. We could have given some to our neighbours but we don't like them.

The monster in the pic was missed due to my messy garden. I expected it to be bitter but it verged on sweet! I skinned the cucumber; shaved most of it with a peeler and tipped the shavings on top of some slices of bread on a plate, added pepper, olive oil and parmesan cheese and ate with a knife and fork. Not bad. Would have been nicer with buttered bread but I was lazy.

Hi @dassar

You were inquiring about my lawnmowers. Dude I have three. A small cord one; a small battery one and a monster battery one (see pic). The mower in the pic is the fearsome Victa 82V. Identical I think to the yank Snapper.

I've had a few dud 2 ah batteries with the Victa but the current battery is a 4 ah and I've had good value with it. But, dass,it would have been a better buy to get the Stihl RMA 510 battery op mower because [to be cont'd][Missus is yakking]

Sorry, dass. When the missus is in full flight she wants my undivided attention.Also since we were last chatting I've driven 4 hours from the Coast to Australia's capital. Anyway...I think the Stihl RMA 510 would have been the better mower to buy because its batteries are probably better. My reason for saying this is the reviews of the Stihl seem pretty good and don't mention battery issues and the two batteries I use in my baby stihl lawnmower (RMA 235) still work fine after a few years. I was going to buy the stihl but at the last moment switched to the Victa. The Victa 82v is now a discontinued line and when my Victa battery dies I'll get the Stihl 510 like I should have.

If you liked that, dass, please click the like button and subscribe to my channel. Thanks.

"Great pics, bro. I know I said you were the reason this site has gone to shit but these pics make me see how you complement the place like no-one else. Keep it up, man!" @MasklessTheGreat

" Must you rub it in, Queeri, that I live in the shadow of a Pennsylvania Steel Mill? Anyway, dude, these pics cheer me up no end. Appreciated, bro. @big_fat_dangus

"Fantastic pics, paul. John is away next week and I'd like you to come around and take some pics of me by the pool. I'm a little self-conscious when he's around but with you I feel...I feel so natural". @Cynabuns

"Absolute shit. We want photos of Harley-Davidsons with naked dames stretched over them 'cos we are Americans, goddamnit, and the girls at the roadhouse call me the Montana Mongoose 'cos I can go places other men can't!.There are advantages to, you know, being small!" @dock

"It's a change, paul, from a lot of the stuff I'm seeing on this site. Folk tell me their disgusting medical problems for some reason. I'm not a doctor ffs! Great pics, man, you're a talented photographer" @dassar

"These pics give me flashbacks, man, to when I was living in your country (Adelaide). I met my wife, Sarah, in Adelaide. She lived in a Terrace House at Grange Beach. We'd go for a swim and come back to her place and she'd walk around in her skimpy green bikini. We'd just met but being a typical Aussie lass she was quite comfortable being half naked. I was used to Canadian women all rugged up in seal pelts and bison fur. I'm not sure if Sarah was being a tease but I can tell you, bro, I was as hard as Ayers Rock! Anyway the rest is history. Keep the pics coming!" @BushChuck

On FlingUp pics can be uploaded but they apparently can't be here. Presumably more is required than a simply tweak and it's not feasible?     (i.ibb.co)

The problem is this critter - the bower bird:

https://birdlife.org.au/bird-profiles/satin-bowerbird/

The female is a lovely bird and has a lovely whooping sound at dawn (male has the same sound, I think, but isn't as attractive). But the bower bird is partly a ground bird and very adept at getting into small places where it snips the leaves of new plants. So the plants hardly get a chance to grow let alone have fruit. I think the bower bird is probably second only to the brush turkey as an Aus gardener's nightmare.

Might have to ditch spud growing in favour of beans where I seem to have more success. I refuse to use souped-up soil. The problem seems to be too much nitrogen due to grass mulch. Lots of lovely leaf growth but few tubers! And f..k you too!
