The main #CherokeePurple plants have been removed from their planter.

Only one had a decent root system, the other two’s roots were barely below the surface.

Hmmm 🤔

The #Feijoa are totally root bound in their Daley’s pots.

I had to soak the plant I put in the Cherokee planter for some time to free it for planting.

I came back inside after that as I’m still feeling very weak.

As I came in #Bunnings pulled in & delivered the 6 big bags of mulch I’d ordered directly behind the car!

*sigh*

The last of my #tomatoes I think.

We had some great looking #CherokeePurple growing, big beautiful ones, but a combination of huge hungry grubs & almost °0 Celsius killed them off.

Such is life.

My poor #CherokeePurple #tomatoes!

It’s currently 6° Celsius outside!!

I might have to pick them while they’re still green & growing. 😕

It rained quite a lot overnight. The tomatoes had a real soaking.

20 Big Pear were picked this morning. 1 #CherokeePurple had fallen & split around its circumference. I’ll keep it for seeds.

The #sheep & #alpacas look a little wet.

My better half came home after checking in with family for #Easter.

I’m using 21 Big Pear #tomatoes in tonight’s #dinner - the reliable old #DevilledSausages - using #CumberlandPork snags this time round.

The meal is on a 4 hour slow cook as the sausage skins can be very thick at times - luck of the Irish I guess - but my better half isn’t a fan of the skins.

Meanwhile, there are about 18 ripe Big Pears not yet picked today AND some of my #CherokeePurple tomatoes are starting to ripen!

In other news:

I shaved my moustache off yesterday but kept the beard. I now look like a bloated #Amish man.

2 days of temperatures around 29° Celsius have killed about 25 flowers on my #CherokeePurple #tomato plants. 😕

I purchased a new hoe from #Bunnings - $74 including delivery!

A new load of lucerne was delivered yesterday. This time I didn’t need to climb over them to get to the paddock gate as my better half had a chat to the new delivery driver on Sunday. 🤗

Oh! I forgot I took a look at the #CherokeePurple #tomatoes too.

I just think that they have the best flavour & texture of any #tomato. 🤤

Some of my #CherokeePurple #tomatoes today. Lots of growing yet before they are ready. Big pear tomatoes ripening on the tower behind them. #heirloom

My #CherokeePurple #tomatoes don't get enough of a mention, so here's a pic of them I took on the way to the car.

There are larger tomatoes on it's other side but they are obscured by the Big Pear #tomato l plant.

The #CherokeePurple #tomatoes are quietly motoring along.
