Garden Update

I updated last year's post listing what's growing in our gardens.

Orchard Update

Last year I wrote a post about our orchard. I've just updated it because we've planted so many trees lately. Check out the many varieties of food plants we've planted in the past 11 months on the farm! And that's outside the vegie patch!

Cherry Guava

The bushfood for February seems to be the Cherry Guava. It's really quite lovely!

These attractive trees line the edges of the forest on a lot of our block. I think they're considered a pest, though. Sigh!

Seed Savers

I'm rapt to have found a Seed Savers group nearby. I love to save my own seed and have quite a collection. It's fun to swap seeds too. The Seed Savers Handbook is really useful when learning how to process and store seeds. It also explains a lot of unusual food plants with great line drawings. For more info, see the Australian Seed Savers site.

GrowLocal

I love this idea!

"Ever thought of bartering the food you grow with other people whom grow food within your area but couldn’t because you had no way of finding them? Ever pondered the possibility of establishing a system of localised food production that clusters numerous households into growing rings within your suburb but didn’t know where to start?"
