First time ever to harvest a custard apple that the ants did't get to first

We were unimpressed. Are they better very fresh?

Very sweet
I found they have to be harvested when ready. If even a bit too early, they are not good.
They are actually too sweet for me, but just the odd one is nice

Put my sprouting seeds in cups and in the sun!

I'd agree - we've got 3 or 4 varieties here, but they have to be perfectly ripe. Therein lies the rub. Perfectly ripe or they taste of very little.

I found this squash yesterday but 1 butternut squash I didn't know about. These set fruit before summer got too hot. Now that the weather is cooler, the butternut squash are setting fruit again and I found many smaller ones that were just starting to grow. I'll have to water the veg plot to help them out.

More cucumbers from the garden. I think I'll be pickling some more of them very soon. We've got about 20 of them in the fridge now.

Oh and I forgot to post this. It's the best view of the grapes. The only thing left on the vine are grapes

They're netted over for a reason. They had to have their leaves removed about 10 days ago after an Australian vine moth found its way in and laid lots of caterpillar eggs. So I'm hoping they'll ripen, which they are doing slowly.
