Today I am joining in with Shae’s “Things I Know” meme and effectively popping my things I know cherry.
- I know that I am getting married in three months and I just booked my celebrant today. This is alternately very exciting and very scary. My wedding is a reality now, not just a ‘something I’m doing in a few months’ thing.
- Today is the first bit of sunshine I’ve seen in DAYS. Possibly since I was in Melbourne last month. I have missed the sunshine.
- Peter Cundall tells me that I can plant peas this month. I am more excited about this than a normal person should be.
- Isaac is very cute. Proof:
- And he is very good at helping me collect eggs. Not so great at keeping the eggs still in the bucket so that they don’t crack. We collected 9 eggs yesterday and should get 4-5 today, if my current laying hens are laying every day.
- My fruit trees that Nathan planted less than a fortnight ago are budding up.
- I successfully grew purple cauliflower! It’s sweeter than the white kind and turns water purple when you cook it. It would be even brighter purple, if we’d actually gotten any sun these last few months (the UV is what turns it purple – the few I’ve got growing that haven’t seen any sun are a pale green).
What do you know?

I know I will be coming to you for advice in a couple of months time when i have my first veggie patch ever. I know I’m probably crazy putting it on my list of things to do over the next year because my thumb is completely black and I know that your little guy is very cute. Also; Squee! you’re getting married.
I know that Isaac is completely adorable! What a cute little kid.
I know your kid is cuuuuuuute. And that I want to eat that cauliflower, which I did nit know even COMES in purple. And that I have worked out what to buy you for a wedding gift…
Purple vegies are soooooo good for your innards
And, yes, that lad is a sweet cutie
Isaac is completely adorable!
My vegie gardens always fail. But I will be giving it a red hot go again in next month after we get back from holidays… Wish me luck
I did not know such a thing as purple cauliflower existed. And I think that is very cool indeed. I also know your son is incredibly cute. Right now I’m thinking I don’t know much else though…
AAWWW Your son is very cute!
WOW! Purple cauliflower!! Well done…
The next 3 months will fly for your wedding countdown!
Your boy is adorable.
blimey your wedding has come around quickly!!!!!how excitement!!!!
He is adorable! I am glad you have had some sunshine
I want to grow purple cauli now, peas and garlic too.
The sunshine makes a huge difference to our spirits too.
Isaac is very cute, I can see you in him.
I am so excited for you too getting married and the trimmings you plan is crazy stressful but oh so much fun.
Oooh purple cauliflower, who knew! Your son is absolutely adorable!
I know that I’m excited about peas.
yay! love a wedding, and a vegie patch, and a GORGEOUS boy … and i know on Monday i am going to my doctor to discuss my possible EDS, thanks to you! wishing you every joy, but i reckon you’re well on your way. xt
He’s super cute, V!
And got to love a bit of Peter Cundall on a Saturday morning. Glad to hear it’s the time to plant peas. That is exciting. Although, they never venture into the kitchen from our garden. Someone tends to eat them all while we’re busy tending to the other vegetables in the veggie patch!
wow that purple cauli is awesome! Did you grow it from seed or seedling? I wonder if you could dye things with the purple water?
And wow your boy has grown into such a gorgeous young man!
I grew it from seed, but I started the seed in small punnets first and then transplanted out. http://thelostseed.com.au for the seeds (be warned: it’s a very addictive website if you like vegie growing).
My water was more of a dull purple colour, but I suspect that was because these are Winter grown, so haven’t had as much UV light. I’m going to start some more seedlings soon and see how they do over summer in comparison.
The anticipation and excitement that comes with the lead up to a wedding – there is nothing like it. Enjoy the moments
Love the purple cauliflower too ! Just amazing !
I knew it… all of a sudden the last few days here it’s dropped in temperature. You’ve nicked it again!! *whimpers*
How awesome is that cauliflower!!
I know that I love you.
I love Peter Cundall, wish he could come sort my vege patch out, looking a bit bare at the moment.
Well done for the cauli! I wonder too about using the cooking water for dyeing stuff…
Oh yes, and congrats for the wedding
Isaac is simply adorable.
I love your purple cauliflower and your attentiveness to gardening! And yes, your boy is very cute!
Isaac’s eyes! He’s gorgeous
I hope losing your Things I Know virginity was gentle lol
Purple cauli is ace! We get it from the market sometimes, I;d be stoked to grow it
You can buy the seeds here: http://www.thelostseed.com.au/ (Which, incidentally is my very favourite website and I spend more time umming and aaahhing between tomato types and different beans than any person actually should).
AND because cauliflowers are pretty tough, you can pop the seedlings pretty much anywhere in a garden and they’ll grow. I start all of my seedlings in small pots inside, but that’s mostly Tassie’s fault.
I know that I’d like purple cauliflower and to meet you incredibly gorgeous son.
Drat, “your” not “you”. Hit the submit button too quickly.
