Whoa!!

How important is spelling… really

I have to confess that I don’t have the greatest attention to detail. But what I saw next really proves that spelling isn’t that necessary.

Dolphins and Raspberries

Visited Seaworld on the Gold Coast yesterday where my daughters swam with the dolphins. Our last visit was back in 1999,  it hasn't really changed, the Bermuda Triangle still has Officer Clark turning alien!

Its interesting revisiting things that were once a hoot and really enjoyable, especially when viewed with the eyes of young children. However the return visit was a bit ho hum, the setup is a bit tired and in need of a spit and polish, but interesting to compare the experiences.

Planted some raspberries today, Heritage variety, allegedly suitable for SE QLD weather, hopefully not attractive to fruit fly!

Harvested carrots, beans, lettuce, celery, silverbeet and parsley.

A new era in Australian politics, could be a new and exciting way. Also wishing quiet times for Christchurch and normality for Pakistan.

Today's ramblings cease!

A nice sunset, I love sunsets!

Where I'm at

Aquaponic grown tomatoes

Growth in the grow beds

Jade and silver perch

Vegie garden

About half my backyard is turned over to the vegie garden, prime growing time is April to December, then it gets too hot, too humid and too many bugs. Then I grow green manure crops or experiment with tropical food plants.

Aquaponics is my latest venture, I'm still green, but its working! Heaps of tomatoes to ripen, the growbeds are full of growth and there's 35 fish to eat!!-its got to be the way of the future.
