Couldn't resist sharing the photo of my Super-sized White Onions. I pulled these up today and was amazed at how big they have grown. I have about 30 more of them ready to pull up, and then more in the coming weeks! Here's some of the others I picked today. The Cucumbers are about 12" long and about 3" diameter, and I get about 30 each week!!! Not too bad for only 4 Cucumber plants The few carrots were test pulls. I think they need another week. I pick about 15 Capsicums per week. Can't beat home grown

. . . and NO chemicals. Just animal poo and water When I started the Garden I dug in good ol' horse poo and Zoo Poo (which is a bag of assorted animal poo from Melbourne Zoo) and wood ash from my indoor fire (except where I was going to plant the Tomatoes. They hate ash). Then about every 3 weeks I watered in some 'Charlie Carp' which is liquified European Carp When I dig it up to plant my winter veggies I will use Cow poo because it's better for plants than other types of poo

Holy poo, Ken, those are amazing! And your cucumber output would keep rock bands stocked for the longest of tours!

LOL! I doubt Rock bands would be very interested in Cucumbers while on Tour . . . or at home

Nope, definitely not a heavy metal fan Never was. I don't even like AC/DC. But I do like some songs by Heavy Metal bands that aren't Heavy Metal songs like:

Whiskey in a jar by metallica gets my vote.
