I have been growing and showing veg since 1996, a brilliant hobby contrary to popular belief and the views of my mates who think I’m a big poof (I’ve got nothing against poofs however!). This is just a chart of my progress for the 2017 season, if you have any specific questions about ‘showing’ then email me on smithyveg@aol.com and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Up a gum tree
I mean business with onions next season. I shall be installing a new greenhouse in which to grow some in large pots but before that I needed to make sure I could provide it with as much light as possible. With that in mind I had to fell three trees that made my intended location for the new glasshouse quite shady, including this 50' eucalyptus. It was also leaning over next door's property quite a bit as the miserable titwitch who lives next door never ceased to remind me. So I was recently to be found thus, topping out said tree before a pal chainsawed it down to ground level. Health & Safety would have shite their trollies!
If that tree is 50' then you must be 8 feet tall judging by the photo.
ReplyDeleteCamera angles dear boy! Photo taken from top of garden that is a few feet higher. Plus i'd already cut the top 12' off by the time it was taken.
ReplyDeleteNow tell us a fucking joke!
Is that a bonsai tree that the umpa lumpas are climbing?
ReplyDeleteno comment then
