I’ve made a century. No, I’m not a cricketer, and I’m not (quite) ready for my telegram from the Queen.
But I have reached a bit of a milestone on the blog with the 100th person following it. So thank you, not only to number 100 but all the 99 readers who went before.
I started this blog to keep a record of my allotment and my little adventures along the way. But reading your comments has made it much more interesting, and it’s lovely to think that I’m writing to someone – not just talking to myself!
Cheers.
Happy gardening

Congratulations on your ‘ century’, Jean! Wow! That’s quite a carrot you have there, too 🙂

Ha ha. Hello Maria, I took that photo a while back but it seemed to sum up the way I felt when I saw the 100 pop up on the blog.

I have never grown a carrot that large, amazing. Congratulations on making the century and thankyou for stopping by my blog, have a great week.

Thank you Wendy. When I pulled that carrot out of the ground I was pleased there was someone around to grab my camera.

You’re welcome. It’s been a pleasure.
To quote a Canadian band (a cousin of ours is a band member), “You are ahead by a century”.

Now that’s a carrot!

Couldn’t believe it myself.

Well done Jean and the sky is the limit now :). I love your blog, your allotment and how you live your life and love to read about how sunny, warm and gorgeous Brisbane is while we are here in Tassie with Brunhilda blazing away and dark days and rain all around us. It’s a little patch of Aussie sunshine online 🙂
Jul 16, 2013 @ 09:31:11
Thank you for your kind words Fran. I like to spread a little sunshine.
I love to hear about Brunhilda and picture you all snug and warm while the weather is doing its thing outside.
I know we have both said it before, but who would think we both live in the same country.

I guess we are Australia’s equivalent of Europe’s United Kingdom and that would make Brisbane Majorca! 😉
Jul 16, 2013 @ 10:05:56
Ha ha. Majorca is where I used to go for holidays when I lived in the UK. All Brits and fish and chips. But lovely sunshine and a pretty island.

Yay! Congrats Jean! x

Thank you for your congratulations.

Well done Jean! Loving the carrot too 😀
Jul 16, 2013 @ 10:54:28
Thank you Cathy.

Congratulations, I enjoy reading about your adventures. We just picked a few of our carrots yesterday, they are more like baby carrots in the stores but much tastier.

Pleased you are enjoying the blog Lois. It’s worth growing your own carrots if you can, much sweeter.

My granddaughter was so excited to find carrots, which aren’t her favorite vegetable btw that she ran in the house and picked out a bowl to take them home to share. She set two outside for the bunnies and then divided them up between the family members, with a little ranch dressing she gobbled her share down with a smile that she grew them. I was never a big fan of raw carrots until I tasted some locally grown last summer, this year I had to grow my own as they were so delicious.

Hi Barb. Thanks for your kind words. Is that why the paparazzi are outside the door! Ha ha.
Jul 17, 2013 @ 09:54:19
Congratulations! That is a perfect celebratory carrot for this occasion 😀
Jul 17, 2013 @ 19:53:16
Thank you Mrs Yub for your congratulations. A perfect carrot for the occasion.
