We're planning out finally starting a proper vege garden.
We're going to do a waist high planters with storage space underneath for firewood along the fence. About 5m long in total, but I'll start with one half that length to see how it goes.. it's been a while since I've done any woodwork projects.
Then a series of 600mm high raised beds, about 3 or 4.
At the moment we've only got herbs in pots... And a sweet potato in a jar.
We're looking into growing potato, sweet potato, tomato, carrot, onion, capsicum, broccoli, sunflower, green beans, chilli, cauliflower, beetroot.

2 big things i’ve noticed in Aus over the past 24hrs that has significant question marks over them are 1. the convicted by jury pedo Pell has been released. This has occurred amongst the noice of covid 19 and will quietly go away. So three (chances are one or more are pedos themselves)judges get to over rule a jury of the people. WTF? 2. WA har apparently going to use electronic ankle bracelets on people caught breaking quarantine laws. Sounds sus but at least they aren’t hacking peoples phones and data. The stick is being flexed. You're assuming they're not, who know's what's been put in place under the current emergency powers

Last time I was there, Dan's had a limit of 3slabs I'd beer, 6 cases of wine, 6 bottles of spirits. Not sure if it is an AND or and OR type limit.
I've got 2 spare slabs of beer for a couple months and a small shelf of spirits, enough for longer the the rest of my stores would last

I suppose most folks already carry a phone which allows massively intrusive tracking as well as remote eavesdropping and image capture. All the best livestock operators use RFID tags now to monitor the productivity of their animals and to guide breeding of improved lines. And the government wants everyone to download a corona virus app... that's not suspicious at all

Yeh probably, but the concerning thing is this is another step towards confiscations

Nz under Lockdown has ordered a stop to all post and only essential courier service products like medical. Anybody caught trading is dealt with by the Govt . Its a total crack down , we cannot do anything. Unrelated to this topic, but during this 4 week lockdown where most people would be unable to work, what sort of financial assistance to business and individuals has been delivered/promised? I can't find anything online except a business payment of $585 per worker per week for 12 weeks capped at 150k

Yeh but it's Australia. Just because they shouldn't, doesn't mean they won't

We can eat baked beans and plain white rice if we need to but the wife won't be happy about it.
I have a few pantry friendly meals I make which are better with fresh/frozen meat and veges if you can get them but are still pretty good without.
Fried rice, serves 2. -Fry any onion, bacon, chicken, spam or egg you might have. -1 cup of rice, boiled then added to the fry pan -Add 1 can of mixed veges such as the pea/corn/carrot type mixes, but anything will do. Fresh, frozen, whatever you got. -Add plenty of soy sauce and chilli flakes to your taste. Pair with a beer of your choice
Pesto penne, serves 2 -Fry some onion and chicken if you've got it. -Boil 250g penne. Like above, add the pasta top the fry pan. -Add a jar of pesto, a can of peas or asparagus and stir through until it's all heated and well mixed. -Top with some parmesan in your bowl.
Burrito bowl, servings depend on how many extras you add -Cook onion and mince beef if you got it (You sensing a theme here? I'm not very creative) -Otherwise in a pan, warm up a can of 4 bean mix, black beans, or basically any other beans -Mix in a can of diced tomatoes -Add a taco seasoning packet or your own similar spice mix -Drain a can of corn kernels -If you have any of the following: Chop into small pieces some lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, avocado and/or grate some carrot. Serve in bowls with each ingredient in its own section, top with grated cheese and mix it all together if you want. Or serve on flat breads, tortillas if you've got them.
Spagbol, serves 2 -You guessed it, fry some onion, garlic, mince meat, bacon, pork sausages, grated carrot, can use a can chickpeas.. whatever's handy. -Boil 250g spaghetti -In the meat pan, or in an empty one if you've got nothing fresh, heat a jar of pasta sauce and a tin of crushed tomatoes. I cheat and get the pasta sauce with herbs in it, and use the canned tomato to bulk it up, but you can just use canned tomatoes and your own spices if you like. Add some broccoli if you've got it. Drain the spaghetti and put it back I the pot. Take some of the sauce and add it to the pot, mixing well. Serve pasta in a bowl, add sauce on top, with cheese if you got some, and a hunk of warm bread with butter and garlic never hurt anyone... Pair with a glass of red
Easy oats, serves 1 -Half a cup of rolled oats in a bowl with half a cup of milk or water. -In the microwave for 90seconds, otherwise cook in a pot following directions on the packet. -Add 10g of honey, some canned fruit (the golden circle plastic jars are handy), dried fruit, condensed milk, frozen berries or whatever else sweet and yummy you got laying round. Pair with coffee
Gourmet Weet-Bix, serves 1 2 weetbix, a cup of milk... pretty simple yeh -Add 50g of one of the fruity muesli mixes, I like this berry one they got at coles, some sunflower or pumpkin seeds and/or frozen berries
Instant noodles, serves 1 -Migoreng in a bowl, cover with boiling water -Add some chopped carrot or beans, or bean shoots to the bowl. -Add some cashews, I like to roughly chop these also -Partially drain when cooked, a little water left helps mix the spices and makes it a bit soupy -Mix through flavour packets -Add a can of tuna Pair with a can of Coke
That's all I can be bothered typing out on my phone tonight, but what do you have on the menu than can be done out of the pantry and is pretty good for normal living expectations with a little help from fresh or frozen stuff?

They won't doorknock, you're right. There's too many of us. But they know who we are if they do an NZ style confiscation and will come for us if we don't comply

I wish them luck, it's going the other direction though. My bet is registered guns will be stolen by Police in the next few weeks. Then they'll be too hard to store, or contaminated or some shit and all destroyed... except the ones that they keep for themselves like last time

QLD gun stores forced to close also.
If this was about corona, they'd be able to operate online...

I'm doing a weekly shop, and checking the PO box if I get an email there's goodies there cause I'm waiting on some "panic buys". But thankfully I'm on annual leave for another few weeks, but then I'll be back in the thick of it.

All international arrivals to quarantine in hotels and "other facilities", enforced by police supported by adf.
This is a tipping point.

I can see them seizing all the registered guns. That won't make anyone safer though. Not sure how it'll leave the country if they do that. The police barely keep the peace at the moment and when they're running a skeleton crew and unemployment is 50%, it will be a wasteland...

Long time no see, just checking back in. Frostbite, my concern isn't the participation requirements, it's that they'll confiscate all registered firearms.

You might not to jail in the first instance but you'll be bankrupted and lose any and all police issued licences/ permits.

And reference using firearms, new laws coming in in victoria will make havng a loaded firearm where it might be considered unsafe an offence along with several other similar offences... so you might get off the assault or murder charge but then be convicted on half a dozen firearm offences.

Self defence is legal, self protection is illegal. You can't plan to protect yourself or prevent a crime, at least in victoria.

I made no such assurance, though there's barely cops in my area let alone defence bases. There's a choc unit with a shipping container and a scout hall but no gear.
