Thanks Gazza, I had Carolina reapers in and a massive hail storm smashed them. It fucked all the vegies and I had to start again. Its why everything is a bit behind where it should be. I still have Carolina Reaper seeds, probably a bit late now.

Nice work

Cheers Kloud

Out the front I have Warpaint watermelons and Orange glow pumpkins. They needed space to run so I planted them in the area where I'm getting natives to grow. #4 watermelon has at least 10 melons on the vine (mostly small). The orange glow pumpkins have variegated leaves green and yellow and it looks like the runners are mainly yellow. The fruit starts out yellow and ripens to a pale orange.

Hi Madfish, unfortunately the guy who made the weather vane has passed away. He made allsorts of vanes, a real shame.

Looks very nice mate.

Cheers GK!

The old shearing shed where I keep my bike has a section in the middle where there is no roof. Weeds have grown in the area and today I saw the worst red spider mite I have ever seen in my life. I took some pics in case any members have never seen it before and what to look for:
