  1. Good morning tooters. A little bit cooler last night at 8c & a big pea souper fog to wake up to. It was very quiet & eerie out at dawn. I slept a bit longer last night not waking until nearly 7am. Today it’s supposed to reach 19c again & there will be sunshine ☀️ - yaaay - it will be lovely.
    Not so many feijoas on the ground this morning either, I haven’t even been out to pick up what I can see. I’ll do that job once I’m home for a walk that I have decided to do as soon as I’ve had a shower. I’m looking forward to it. Just my regular round the river walk. I now have two full containers of dried feijoas & I’m not sure there will have enough to dry another lot, I’ll have to wait & see. Not planning much else for today just at home puttering around - I’m a good putterer 😁.
    Wishing you all a happy #Thursday, stay safe & warm & hoping you have sunshine 🌞 🌻. #Weather #Exercise #Feijoa #HomeGrown.

  2. Good morning tooters. Chilly start to this morning at just 4c & yes I do have the heater on. The sun is just peaking over the trees behind my place & creating shadows in my garden. It’ll soon warm things up a bit & the temperature will reach 17c again today.
    I think I’ve been eating too much fruit lately - feijoas in particular 😬, my tummy is a little twingy. I’ve been googling & I can freeze them whole if I want, but I think it makes more sense to scoop out the flesh & freeze that in small containers. I’ll be doing that later this morning as I am now getting too many. Maybe I will freeze some whole as well & see which is better, future reference & all that.
    First up this morning I am heading out for a walk shortly. My walking buddy can’t make it today, but that isn’t going to stop me as I really want to get out of the house for a while.
    Hope you all have a lovely #Thursday, stay safe & keep warm. #Weather #Feijoa #HomeGrown #Exercise

  3. Good morning tooters. It was another warm night & 13c when I got up. Today it’s supposed to reach 19c. We are definitely heading towards winter now with the temps staying below 20c. There is still some rain around & it is very wet outside but there are patches of blue sky to be seen so I’m hoping for some sunshine later.
    Heaps of feijoas this morning. I picked up around 16 so far this morning and I still haven’t got the dehydrator working yet although I have done the pre heating to remove any smells etc. There’s going to be an ongoing noise in the background once I fill it & having it going In my little unit I know the noise will annoy me as it’ll be going for 12-15+ hours & probably overnight. So I’m going to set it up in the spare bedroom & I can shut the door, open the window a bit & just let it do its job.
    I’ve baked bread this morning as well. Not my best effort, it has a big dent in the middle, that won’t matter it’ll still be edible. Now I’m going to shower, do a Yin yoga class as my back is touchy, then head out for a haircut & prepare the feijoas to dehydrate when I get home. My day sorted 😁.
    Hope everyone has a great #Tuesday, stay safe & dry out there 🌻. #Weather #HomeGrown #Feijoa #Sourdough.

  8. Went outside again & it’s raining heavier than before.

    Stuff it! I attacked the #OldPear #tomato planter.

    Wow! The old pear was deeply rooted & its roots were all through the planter.

    I’d taken an old bayonet out with me (something my paternal grandfather taught me about bayonets being good, tough garden tools) & dug around for about 10 minutes.

    Finally the tomato plant succumbed to my attack & I’d destroyed its root system.

    The final #feijoa destined for a pot is potted

    I’m muddy & hot.😓

  11. I went outside all rugged up & determined to continue my #feijoa planting.

    It’s still cool & raining, I’m still sick & coughing; so I did an about face & came inside.

    The #alpacas & #sheep are FINALLY preferring to graze on the grass than chew on lucerne bales. I think they can go without my feeding them for a day.

    (They’ve been ignoring me for about a week now when I go out with feed. They look up & continue grazing) 🤗

  14. My plans for spraying the #feijoa for #GuavaMoth #larvae & #LeafRoller #caterpillars have gone out the window with the rain.

    Ditto whipper snippering. “Do not use on wet grass!” it says on my machine, so I’ll heed the manufacturer’s advice.

    The #BigPear #tomato might come down today. We had a final harvest last night of 11 large, but still green, tomatoes.

    It’s planter will become home to one of the Feijoa.

    The rest will go into the ground where the #JerusalemArtichokes are now.

  19. Good morning Fedi friends. It’s not going to be a warm day today at all, although it was an ok 8c when I got up it’s only going to reach 16c. The sky is very dark & getting darker, no rain has fallen yet but we will get some for sure.
    Nine feijoas dropped overnight, they’ll be dropping regularly now. I’ll definitely stop in at Kmart for an inexpensive dehydrator on the way home from my sisters today. I looked online & it seems they have a 4+ star rating. Not much else in the agenda today, just the usual.
    Hope you all enjoy your #Sunday, stay safe, stay dry 🌻. #Weather #Garden #Feijoa

  24. The main #CherokeePurple plants have been removed from their planter.

    Only one had a decent root system, the other two’s roots were barely below the surface.

    Hmmm 🤔

    The #Feijoa are totally root bound in their Daley’s pots.

    I had to soak the plant I put in the Cherokee planter for some time to free it for planting.

    I came back inside after that as I’m still feeling very weak.

    As I came in #Bunnings pulled in & delivered the 6 big bags of mulch I’d ordered directly behind the car!

    *sigh*

    There’s a company in #Aotearoa that sells dehydrated #feijoa in bags, like potato crisps.

    They cut off the top & end of the fruit, peel them & then dehydrate.

    We’ve just arrived at #Bunnings to buy some #Yates Ultra Insect Control as we spotted a green grub in one of the #feijoa as we were unpacking them. 🤞

  42. I went outside intending to garden & just felt so weak. 😟

    I did manage to eat 2 #feijoa & extract the seeds.

    They are now in a pot, & are weighed down, in a resealable bag with wet paper towels.

    My better half arrived home from her hospital tests while I was outside.

    I was wrong. The tests today were for her wrists not her lymph nodes.
