Fortunately the pumpkin vines multiplied and I was able to get a few. I've made pumpkin pie and hoping to make pumpkin gnocchi, next! Stay warm. Apparently we're expecting 7 degrees C here, over the next few nights. I can believe your estimation of 5 up the mountain, is spot-on!

I am rather hoping we do better this season but the mandarins are few and tiny after a bumper crop last year when we were locked out of our country home so they all went to waste. I am hanging out for my Navel oranges to be OK to harvest soon but they are worrying me by splitting their skins and dropping off the tree. The lemons are looking good though. <br /><br />I don't envy you being in a Queensland home during a cold cold winter - I used to freeze when I visited my parents at our old family home in Nanango. Living down south makes us soft. We turn on the heater at the slightest drop in temperature.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-24287811176163442242022-07-12T15:00:56.244+10:002022-07-12T15:00:56.244+10:00Yes lets hope it's Queenslander all the way to...Yes lets hope it's Queenslander all the way tomorrow night.

Our temps are always lower than Brisbane's. We are usually in drought and always have mandarins but the rain had really helped this year.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-61813103743600428072022-07-06T10:45:37.009+10:002022-07-06T10:45:37.009+10:00I have had trouble accessing Blogger as a reader, ...I have had trouble accessing Blogger as a reader, but not noticed changes as a writer. As this week is a good one for me accessing all the blogs I subscribe to, I am glad to read yours again. I have a mandarin, but have only had one crop in 8 years! I wonder if it is just too dry here for it. One time I went to a conference in the Sunshine Coast and I was so cold! I had not brought the right clothes at all, thinking "Queensland is warm".

I use blogspot and I don't have the little spanner icon where I can add to or take away blogs I like to read. So sad your group is disbanding after 10 years. I checked the weather yesterday and it was colder in Brisbane than it was in Sydney & Melbourne. Funny thing all day I was thinking it feels like when I lived in Melbourne. Mind you it was only a few degrees but it's cold for us Queenslanders. Speaking of Queenslanders I hope the Origin is good for Qld on the 13th July. Have a good week.
