Things To Do If You Can’t Go Metal Detecting


Recommended Posts


That is an awesome garden Simon. I know it can be a lot of work harvesting it all. We have an avocado tree that pumps out several hundred avos each year and need to be picked washed and polished. We have no shortage of people that want them though. Good luck!

Hey Simon, when you say you made some cider is that alcoholic cider? Been thinking of making some myself. Love the stuff. Beer not so much.?

Good old 'Straya   ??

Sounds like an easy process for the cider.  I don't mind it and the wife loves it.  Not sure I am that keen to get a whole crapload of it for her - especially at 10%  ?

Stewed apples would have to be one of my favourite things.  Sounds like you have a years supply there of that.  And stewed plums - yummo!

Just finished building a new raised bed, putting together a new hen house and (using my gold pick), making a level path along a slope in the bottom yard. This sheltering in place is not for sissys.

Stewed plums need a bit of sugar.  Apples were always sweet enough by themselves.  Stewed apricots were also very, very nice.  Apricot pie  ?

We recently bought some plum cordial off some people we know up at Stanley (near Beechworth) very nice too.

can you get much sense out her before a bottle or two

Orchard Thieves cider is the current poison (I think maybe from NZ?)   It used to be Strongbow.  3 of them and she is firing and they are only about 4.5%.
