Jim , one , the same as that was our first van ,and we did hundreds of thousands of miles with it , they are a GREAT LITTLE VAN .
 be careful winding the top up , it is a big job if the wire that pulls it up breaks , just be careful , and make sure you put the extra roof over the beds .

my veggie patch is pottering along
got a bit of garlic but not as much as i'd liked maybe about a kilo or more
carrots are springing up
like others here I have silver beet , plenty of potatoes , bit of lettuce, zucchinis have just started to have babies , rhubarb
snow peas have been going berserk for weeks/months and the beans have tiny baby beans on them today
started a herb bed and the plants love being in the soil and out of pots so my herbs are very impressive
ah, oh to be a full time veggie gardener - would be bliss

Gee I was let down too this year RG, I did get a bit of garlic but it wasn't nice and big like last years crop of the russian but still better than nothing but this summer crop is stuffed as it's just been way to hot and can't keep the water up to anything

[robbiegal]

good to know
my Russians are a big fail too
only one started to bulb
but there are heaps of the little baby seeds
apparently you can plant them and they grow as well
we have had far too much cold weather
all the plants are very confused about just which season it is!

but we just picked a small container of apricots form the tree at the side of the house
the hubby cut it down a couple of years back as the electricity guys discovered it after 34 years and said it had to go
it has reshooted and albeit small is producing nicely and hopefully they will let us keep it

Just tie a thumping big nasty dog to it next time they come and check :diablo::good:

[ausjack]

Yes do trout's idea :laugh2:

Yes the plants don't know what's going on 35 to 40 degree days normally doesn't happen for a few months yet and yes I ended up with a heap of those seeds but never grown them but might try later.

is the extra roof for the rain Kel?

yes Robbie  it is , also very hot in the sun , as the beds pull out past the roof of the van .so the extra roof has about a 4 to 6 inch gap between the 2 layers ..

We are thinking of spending a couple of weeks up in the Kimberly's over the Christmas break.
I have driven through this beautiful  area on many an occasion but have never had the time to stop over and had a good look and enjoy the place.
We have enough equipment to be self sufficient for a couple of weeks at a time so we don't have to rely on crowded Caravan parks and can set up just about anywhere we take a fancy to.
I am really looking forward to a feed of fresh Cherabin  and Mud crabs :drooling:
I have to do one more job the other side of Meekatharra this year then we are off on a road trip for 2-3 weeks :yahoo:
