@Briztank made a great suggestion, and I thoght I would set it in Motion:
post your pics and vids or stories that let you burst with pride and joy!
Let's get into it

 

[Mandy Onderwater]

Oof! I'm super proud that my lemonade tree is fruiting for the first time. I hope I can find a picture of it, as I'm currently on holidays, but I'll aim to upload it as soon as I can. It makes me so happy, haha

 

[Briztank]

Yeah nice! I'll take a pic of me freshly mulched fruit trees next time I go for a wander and check em out they were beautiful

 

[Briztank]

Righto got round to taking a photo but they're not as satisfying as in person and having that accomplished feeling!

My row of fruit trees all fed, composted and mulched ft. Lulu the pooch. The netting around them to stop the sheep chewing away. The close up is of my Black Doris tree with it's singular fruit on it I'm SO excited - they're my favourite plums ever! The third pic is of my first Birdies tall raised bed where I've planted 8 tomatoes and 6 cos lettuce all grown from seed and mulched with some strawberry straw too - excuse the random pots of tomatoes and capsicum they're just hanging out there till I whack em in the ground later today

 

[Briztank]

Bloody hell the old sun and wind cooked most of my seedlings I planted this morning...lesson learned, shade cloth and afternoon planting tomorrow

 

[Briztank]

Mounded the spuds today, love the high quality mulch and lines of beautiful taties!

 

[Lunai]

Been able to get the Best Deal ever
A trailer full of the most beautiful kompost/horsemanure including a mount of worms in exchange for a plant (chili, raspberry, lavender) and a bit of help.

and I can get even more of that stuff for the same deal speak about cost efficiency and it's interchanged with another self-sustaining soul as well great connection

just mowed the last time until spring yesterday and used it to mulch my pointed cabbage. Its still growing very well for the temperatures 🌡 which get already down to 1 °C at night, so we might get the first ground frost

 

[Briztank]

Yum brassicas! Do you get hammered by those white butterfly caterpillars on your brassicas @Lunai ?

not right now... way too cold for them. Ask me again next summer but I haven't seen netting on any of the neighboring Plants... so I guess there're not as many We'll try and see.... but in any case I'm planning with som sacrificial plants. Cause I think those cabbage white butterflys are quite beautifull

Couple of recent pics, 70 garlic harvested this season and this whopper of a beetroot coming in at half a kg!

 

[Mandy Onderwater]

Yum! I love both garlic and beetroot

Best thing is my daughter has started solids and is loving a beetroot mixed with apple and bone broth all from my section and garden!

So i Just planted a quince tree with 4 black currant shrubbs beside it and replanted 2 sweet Cherry trees this time with a ground Cage because those dann rootmoles ate all roots of The one from Last year but its soo satisfying to See it come together

 

[Lunai]

And The Most exciting thappening from Last year finally got my Family together May, 18th 2024

 

[Mandy Onderwater]

It's so good to see such happiness.

I share in your joys, as recently my partner asked me to marry him
