Tales from the back yard

[caraway_]

My running joke about Melbourne is that I've never lived in a more suburban city. This back garden, for instance. Only 10 metres by 5, but a pain in the rear to maintain. I did some gardening today - throwing good money after bad. Once I get some veggies to grow in the shade, the snails eat 'em before we do. We've got a bay tree, 2 old lemon

And we've got to enjoy this lovely sunny weather while it's here. Who knows when we'll next get a weekend half as nice, if at all? (can you tell I'm downcast at the thought of the impending gloomy Melbourne winter)

It's all relative. I think there will be plenty of fine days.

Snails: I've heard about beer traps, and had some limited success with coffee grounds. I've had some success with tarragon and coriander...
