Nice looking veggies G6



Do my capsicum trick and head for "B" for replacements (if required)

Don`t need to the family left today.
Might have to separate the bream tho, now he has found out the others taste good he seems to be harassing them

Good one G6. I must get some of those bok choy going, they look great.

THANX they taste good too,shredded up m/wave for 15sec and on toast for brekky with butter and pepper(altho too much gives ya )

I would never have thought of cooking it that way

I cook it like that cause I`m lazy and hate dishes!
It works a treat for spinach and cabbage, but the cabbage goes in freezer bag with butter,pepper and thin sliced ham for about 1-2min or until just soft.

update; tomato doing really well, the first fruits are coming and I'm fairly exited as the bush is going nuts with growth, the green caterpillars are back,got 13 in two days ( the black bream is FAT ) and the spinach is powering on.

Spinach is looking good as is the tomato

Padlock & chain for the shadecloth mate - certainly won't easily walk

:silent: The chain is ment to be holding up the other halves pot plants SHHHH

Well here it comes, we are starting to heat up in Kal, yesterdays temp 41degC
today 43degC and a prediction of 45-47degC by Sunday .
Checked the tub temp yesterday and was at 31.6 at 17:00, the goldies and my single bream don't seem to be suffering, still moving about eating anything in their paths but if the temp rises much more who knows.
The swampy bleed off is going back under the tub tomorrow in a vain attempt to get some cooling and I'm sourcing foam esky lids to float in the tub to keep the heat out.
If we do get to 45 or 47deg I might even start dumping small quantities of ice in the tub to try regain control?
February is the kicker though as we get the serious heat then.

P.s. the poor yabbie carked it But I feed her to the fish

hi check the green grocer brockely lids make good rafts

Looking great - I like how well this system has made progres!

F&F, will do, Woolies seems to throw some out, will have a scab around there.
AM, thanks.

Hi Gnash, that is some unbelievable heat. If you can situate the ice where there is good water flow, I think that would be OK in limited quantities. The thing to be careful of is not to create cold spots. Also, be sure the water that the ice was made of does not have chlorine/cloramine, or just use small enough quantities that it can dissipate.
