Hello again everyone. Such a sad story to tell today. I never have any luck with my creamy Dutch potatos. The dreaded 28 spotted lady beetle comes along and desecratesb my plants, everytime! I pulled up the potatoes yesterday and to my astonishment received my worst harvest yet. @Marty Ware perhaps you can offer some friendly advice. The soil looked healthy, most of the organic matter had been eaten by the worms, there were still a few worms in the soil. I add minerals to the soil. It is possible that they need more water but everything I show you is all in a row running on a drip line and as you can see everything else is getting enough water.

Not a bad harvest. Feel inspired by something @Marty Ware made and posted the other day to make some sort of salad/sambal from this lot. Thankfully my neighbour will take the excess chillies as I already have more than enough in the freezer

This is great forecast for the coming Christmas, definitely going to hot in my part of Australia. I am just planning for Autumn now as it's my best time if the year for gardening and making compost

My little Napoli Dwarf Tomato has a fair set of fruits. Also some flowers, so should produce a good little harvest. I think it will be worth collecting the seeds from this. That's if it pumps out enough fruit. As it only grows to 50cm I guess I can't expect to much more.
