Liking Instagram & Facebook posts!

When we moved house I though that I would have a lot more time to homestead and blog. That show how long it is since I last moved house and how bad my memory is!

A friend introduced me to Instagram a few years ago and I have an account that I share pictures with friends and family and it dawned on me Why don't I start up a Practical Frogg one so I can keep sharing but on the run rather than big sit down posts?

And so I did. I have got into the habit of sharing on Instagram instead of here of late so if you're so inclined - have a look at my Instagram feed and see if it suits you. If not, the same friend also hooked the account up to facebook and it automatically posts there as well if facebook is more your thing!

Part of my 2019 goals is to get back into posting on this platform as I do enjoy it and things are settling down a bit as the big jobs get done (Install water tanks, make gardens, insulate rooves, cut down massive trees that will fall on the house - you know, that sort of thing!) Time is slowly freeing up to get back into a routine that isn't work and sleep or renovate and sleep!

So if you're looking for a Practical Frogg fix or want to see what weve been up to - have a look at the Practical Frogg Instagram or Facebook page! Just click on a photo and it should take you there!
See you soon!

Killing cockroaches with boric acid v borax!

We live in Queensland. We have cockroaches. Lots of cockroaches! Why the NSW rugby team is called the Cockroaches is a mystery to me - surely ours are not only bigger but more plentiful??? At any rate, I don't like living with them (and I'm quite sure they are not so fond of me at the moment!!) and I have been going through the usual gauntlet of sprays, solutions and bombs to get rid of them... But I'm not so keen on the chemical aspect of all this spraying and bombing. I hate the smell and can almost feel disease and cancer growing in me every time I spray. I'm OK with the resident cockies getting a lungful of chemicals and then keeling over but I feel its impolite (and probably illegal) if my guests and family members do the same thing!!! We went through a faze of killing them by hand (and flyswatter and rolled up newspaper and underfoot) but its hard and frustrating work and it probably was only culling the dumb and slow ones - leaving the smart fast ones to ...

So many Chokos - So few ideas!? What can I do with all my chokos?

I got given a couple of chokos that were sprouting by a friend and so having a garden that grows things these days, I planted it. Its been a while since I had a choko vine... I'm thinking upwards of 15 years or so and I had completely forgotten how many chokos a single vine can produce in so few weeks! And I may have planted more than one! When the first few chokos appeared, I waiting impatiently for them to get big enough to pick. We ate them steamed with butter - de-lish-ious! I got a bit more adventurous with the next handful and had them stuffed (good fun) and make fritters with them (bit boring - needs a good sauce) and then I plumb ran out of ideas. The chokos however, continued to multiply and hung green and accusingly, growing plumper each day. I grated them into nachos, I chopped them into strews and I baked them with the weekly roast but still they grew! I got desperate to do something with my most successful garden crop and after a quick search on the net - a ne...

What to do when your cat attacks a bird... and doesn't kill it.

We have an eight year old cat who we got as a stray about six years ago. The vet reckoned she was about two when we got her and we did all the right things and got her spayed and vaccinated and all that stuff. She loves people and no matter where you are in the house or garden, she will not be far away. She really good with kids and will put up with the squishiest cuddles and a far bit of toddler tail fascination before bolting out the door to escape. She is well fed (despite the look she is giving me and the empty bowl below...) but not fat - but still the urge to hunt and subsequently kill still seems to be quite strong. Last weekend, she pounced out of nowhere on a rainbow lorrikeet - thankfully my husband and a band of teenage boys were also there and managed to grab the bird before the cat had done more than pounce. Now we have a slightly mangled still alive but obviously unwell bird on our hands - what do you do? Here's what we did... We found a box - popped an old ...
