Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #roselle, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 28° Celsius outside but it feels hotter.

    Tried to get some aluminium cans into the #recycle centre but it was chocka block full of people - some even had their Ute trays full of bags of cans!

    #Alpacas & #sheep have had their water topped up & I emptied another pot in the garden.

    It used to contain one of our #Roselle plants.

    Inside, #electrolytes have been taken & I’m under the fan.

  2. With the recent frosts my #Roselle & #JerusalemArtichoke plants are no more.

    We do have loads of seeds from the Roselle, so we’ll do them again & we have a huge amount of chokes to eat. 👍

    The only thing still going is my #PinkPanther #DragonFruit.

  3. #Roselle bushes have #calyces (the protective layer around the flower) which can be used to make #jams, #sauces, & #teas, and are known for their tart, cranberry-like flavour. This one of my Roselle is getting dozens of them. #gardening

  4. 34° Celsius & I’m down.

    I’ve been #hydrating all day, taking #electrolytes with some of my water, but I go outside, give the #alpacas & #lambs some lucerne, then water the #Roselle & #JerusalemArtichoke - the next minute liquids are #spewing (the operate word) out of my mouth & I lose all sense of balance.

    Naked under the fan now, a bucket beside me if more liquid wants to rush up my throat.

    Where’s our rain?! Mutter mutter #auspol #gardening

  5. It’s a #tragedy!

    Our first #Roselle #flower #fell!

    It was discovered at the bottom of the Roselle pot after I’d fed the wooly ones.

    I thought, “Google might know why!”

    Nah. Too much Sun, not enough Sun. Too much water, too little water…

    Tells you nothing really.

    Although… it was very windy yesterday & after the storms the temperature dropped.

    #Gardening #failure ☹️

  6. #Roselle #flower

    It’s here!

    We would have posted earlier but we had a minor #emergency with #Chaser the #alpaca.

    He got caught up in some fencing wire & we had to catch him to get him untangled.

    Some arsehole threw the wire over into our back lot at some point & Chaser discovered it this morning.

    Sigh.

    He’s fine, but was a little freaked. He must have become tangled after I went to rest my knees.

  9. My better half gave me a dip to try.

    Knowing I’m not a huge dip fan, she said she’d eat what I couldn’t.

    “Okay, I’ll give it a try”

    #camembert #beetroot & #rosella #dip!

    I was very interested, being a fan of #roselle & all.

    Fantastic! Very nice, not too much of any ingredient - I was pleasantly surprised.

    #snack eaten with #Ritz #crackers.

    The bowl the dip comes in looks like #SamianWare lol (#TimeTeam fans know what I mean) 😉
