next holiday

i can feel a trip up north coming on...have to wait for it to cool down a bit, only a few months to go..meantime enjoy the vegie patch and try to not get taken out by any of the bad shit on the roads and industrial nightmares i am currently obliged to work on/in...the vegies have gone sick the last week and grown about 10cm on average. everything is actually looking healthy and vibrant..'cept for the cauliflowers..(yeah..i know that they are only about 35c in the shop, take up heaps of room and take ages to grow..but THE cauliflower i grew two years ago was to die for..absolutely perfect, flawless..even the leaves..not a bite missing...and absolutely NO pesticides or other poisens applied!!)..anyway as the corn grows it will attract the wasps when bugs, (cabbage moth), eat it..they get the bugs off the rest of the stuff as well....
fucked up a bit with the beans though, planted about twenty beans of a particular type..had the wrong type in mind ....nooow i remember that bean..the jack an the beanstalk bean
had one of them two seasons ago and it grew to about 20 ft high...and i've got 20 of them in!! couldn't grow much last year as there was a killer vine that the bloke next door planted..fucken come up everywhere and sucked all the water out of the soil, no shit the soil was like a coir mat with the cunts roots = no fresh veg...Back to this year..
along side the giant beans there are heaps of sunflowers interspersed with them...saves putting in posts ..they'll work it out!!..best thing is the lady bugs are breeding up again..(they like sunflowers for a habitat)...also they eat other, vegie eating bugs...the ducks and chooks are cleaning up the rest of the raiders, (snails/slugs)...still no sign of any rockmelons, sighhhhh...i've only managed to get them up once in six years...they got a bit bigger tham a baseball, then the 28 parrots came and bit everyone of them off..fucken flying rats..wouldn't mind if they took one and ate it all...but chew them off for the fun of it..still they are a sociable sort of bird and get somewhat "tame"....that word jars with me.. "tame"..what does that mean..subserviant, domesticated..bribed into interaction through offers of food.....my version is a voluntary interaction between species... nooft, my name for the dog that choose to live with me is an example of this..he does his own thing and is free to leave if he wishs...sometimes he goes on holidays, once for three months, he visits his mates, and who knows what else...i can tell that he would love to be able to tell me his adventures and in his own way he can...he has lived with me since he was born.....my little black mate grows old and grey around the head now and his bones give him gip..i'm glad that the weather is warming 'cos the cold doesn't agree with him nowadays...soon as it starts to get cold here again we are off up north for another adventure.. this one will be a ripper.....
have to fit out the ute with a big belly tank, (less fuel stops, less forced interaction with fuckhead tourists in camper vans ), solar panel and deep cycle gel battery...
was going to post a piccy of the last trip, however the computer says no..fucken thing..maybe next time.
