Re: Vegis
Cant compete with Glenda's beautiful produce, but we do try to do our bit.
We have a flourish of Continental parsley, rosemary, Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, lots of lemons and limes. We have just planted some dwarf fruit trees last Summer, and they are fruiting this season. So we also have nectarines, peaches, mango and apples. Will be interesting to see how many the fruit bats and possums leave for us to eat! Cant wait to see if the dragon fruit gets flowers this year too.
Don't grow anything that is so cheap when in season that it isn't worth the effort, so carrots and lettuce, we leave for the experts to grow.

Re: Vegis
We grow spuds in the bottom kitchen drawer, does that count? We have a family of Aust marsupial rats living in our back yard, cute as but they love fruit and vegies, so we seem to grow them and they eat them We have more luck with potatoes, dutch creams, kiffler and sweet potato, but we do get the odd harvest of beans if there are too many for them to eat, as well a figs, but between our little fury friends and the birds it's loosing battle. The lemonade tree, lime tree and this yr even the mandarin tree has lots of fruit in the front garden

Re: Vegis
These have short tails, big ears, don't chew up cables of boxes or make a nuisance of themselves except for pinching any fruit as first choice or vegies as second choice. We accidently left the bottom window open in the kitchen and one of the cheeky buggers came in and helped him/her self to half an avocado from a bag full on the bench. Only the one, never chewed the string plastic bag, just carefully nibbled through to and around the stone of the available area of the avocado we left the remains out the back near the batteries and Margaret said she could hear them chattering away the next evening. We have never found any rat poo around the area, damaged items, nothing, except the tell tail stubs or what was a fig or the absence of the vegetable we had been watch come to maturity.... they must have better senses of when it's just right for harvesting than us
I've seen them a few times, even accidentally trapped one inside in the early hrs of the morning, he/she ran around frantic looking for an out, finally coming past me and up over the cupboard top, scrambled up the window frame, stopped at the top and looked at me, then dived outside.

Bernie, I think Don and Leith might be away as their place looked deserted when we walked past yesterday.
Here is my fledgling herb garden - continental parsley, curly parsley, basil, sage, oregano, onion chives, garlic chives, Vietnamese coriander, rosemary, lemon thyme and a small native finger lime. Not bad for about 6 weeks since planting.
And in pots, a grafted kaffir lime and Meyer lemon and a bay tree.
