- Thank you for the kind words Joel. Another KGI friend has been encouraging me to come back, and I am, though slowly. I've been following some of your discussions and gardening progress with great interest. I have to say, it is good to be chatting with gardening friends again!
I want to believe we will have another successful gardening year, but it was so good last year, I'm little afraid we can't match it. But we'll see. When I froze my sweet peppers and banana peppers, I just chopped them to the size I knew I would use and put them in snack-size zip lock bags. I put 2 cups per baggie because I knew I would always use at least that much. I've been using them in soups, sauces, and casseroles with great success. I pre-froze (on cookie sheets) fruits like strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and cantaloupe balls.
I've been thinking I should get my seed-starting going, but I'm also thinking that I just don't have the right light for it indoors. And the greenhouse is too far away from the house in this cold and rain! Hmmmm, my mind is ticking away on a couple of ideas. Maybe I should go work on them and I'll be able to start seeds! Talk to you again soon! m

- Hi Joel
Sorry for delay in replying - I work full time - 8 hours a day - so my home computer is neglected until the weekends. We have a tropical fish / reef saltwater tank so have been out this morning to buy some fish to replace some which had died over the last couple of weeks.
I and the gardens are all "singing" here as we have had a week of lovely rain, not too heavy but constant and it is still very warm so everything is growing like topsy., I have bought a potato planter so hubbie is going to put it together for me later on and I intend to put some Gem Squash seeds in to see how they grow, then come May I will buy some seed potatoes and we will see how it goes. I now have planters for most veges as our clay makes it too difficult for do a decent garden and although I was rather late doing the tomatoes at least we had a few to eat - this year will be better.

- Hi Joel
Thank you. Feel a bit guilty saying how long I have been growing food - I should have said TRIED to grow food. Now into raised gardens and hoping they will work better than my previous dismal failures. At least have had some tomatoes this season even if I had to had pollinate and now looking at a growing Gem Squash followed by potatoes for Christmas. Does anyone is Western Sydney know how to grow Gem Squash successfully in this climate - I have plenty of seed and somewhere to put them so just a little bit of advice would be appreciated.
