Who is dilli333 & when will s/he stop spamming every thread going?

I'd say so, Butrflynet.
But sadly, many affected by the fires (the worst ever in the state ... possibly the whole country?) are still living in temporary shelters. A rotten time of it, they've had, poor things.

You're still obviously very shaken by the experience, tsar!
And felt the need to post this message twice!

It's OK, I understand ... there, there, possum!
I was feeling much the same.

How's your back holding up, Butrflynet?
I hope you haven't being over-doing the gardening.

This is technically overdoing the gardening:

It was a concept work of architecture on Canal Street that involved vertical tiered gardening in its extreme form.

My goodness!
That is extreme form!

You wouldn't want to get caught between those layers on a very windy day!

It is still spasming. I took another muscle relaxer at lunchtime today and laid down to relax and listen to some classical music to de-stress a bit. Next thing I knew I was waking up and wondering where I was and what time it is at 7 pm. That's why I'm now posting at midnight rather than sleeping. :::sigh:::

As far as gardening goes, I'm mostly just trying to keep up with the watering and harvesting. Pulled up a few dead pea plants and tried yanking up some spent corn stalks but can't do that yet. My goal is to do about an hour a day of getting the garden ready for the next crop cycle next week so I can plant seeds and seedlings next weekend.

If I take it slowly with rest breaks rather than trying to do it all at once, I should be okay. Tomorrow I'll be harvesting the first of the purple tomatoes. Never had them before and am interested in how different they might taste.

Yes, do take it slowly & carefully, Butrflynet.
A very painful back is a truly terrible thing!



Wow. Purple tomatoes!
I've never seen or sampled one of those!
I wish I was visiting your place tomorrow.

Here's a comparison to the red tomato.





Here's what they look like on the vine. Haven't tasted them yet.



Here's a bit of info on them. Ours aren't quite as big as those shown in the photos on Wiki.

My own personal view is that dilli 333 should lose his/her/its account!

But then, I'm obviously in no position to make decisions on such things ...

Reminded me of that sweeps character.

Maybe one has to delete the posts before one deletes the account? Or to perhaps ban the person's IP Address, one needs to keep the account open but to refuse any further postings for an indefinite posting suspension of sorts.

But I don't think he's running any sort of "student assistance" scheme, POM.

No, this one was a determined spammer! Too bad whatever was being sold is now very much on the nose!

You might be right there, for all I know about these things, tsar.

But what an absolute joy for those posts to have been stopped at last!

I just reported it as 'multiple spam links' or something like that. Do you think it's better to do each post separately? I can, but I hate to give up the time to such a worthless individual.

They look almost like passion fruit, Butrflynet.

Very juicy looking, too!

I'll be very interested in how the tastes of the red & black compare.

You are making me think of summer & I'm feeling a bit wistful now. (How I hate the cold & the wind from the Antarctic!)

If someone were to drop that purple thing on a plate of mine, they better tell me it's supposed to look like that. Otherwise, it goes to the trash in a sealed bag.

Ah Roger, Roger ... give em a go, I say!

What if they're absolutely delicious?

Yeah, and what if they taste the way they look?

So?

You're going to?

Please report back if you do!
