Event Description
ADDRESS HAS BEEN SENT OUT 11.05.15. ANY PROBLEMS PLS CONTACT LISSA.
SATURDAY 16TH MAY 10AM TO 12.30PM
May is such a beautiful time of the year to get out in the garden. Come along and have a chat with some of the other members.
*I'm thinking we might harvest my Water Chestnut while everyone is here. They are just starting to die off. I'll be able to give away a limited number of tubers for members to start growing their own for next year.
* Bring your PH Test Kit if you have one. We're going to have a test-a-thon around my garden and hopefully all learn something about alkaline and acid soils and how to deal with them. Watch Andy's VIDEO before coming if you have time.
*Tim will be bringing a load of composted horse manure for selling. NOTE: For those with requests please bring the correct $ on the day ($3 per bag).
My garden consists of fruit trees, raised beds for vege growing, bees - native and honey, snails for protein (yet to eat any!).
No dig gardening, no chemicals, natural predators encouraged into the garden.
Lots of on street parking and an easy flat yard to get around.
Children welcome but must be supervised by parents at all times.
Please bring a small plate of food or drink to share and any plants, produce or seed that you want to share, swap or sell.
RSVP required for the address to be sent closer to the date to the email address you nominated when you joined.
Late attendees welcome. Message Lissa or phone on the day for the address.

That's wonderful Dianne :) It is a very friendly group that's for sure. I put a lot of it down to keeping it all simple and without any fuss. People doing what they like to do - chatting about a common interest, eating/drinking, and checking out someone elses garden. All good simple fun.

Rob your Davidson Plum Jam was beautiful, we loved it. I will be checking on my tree to see how far off I am from making jam. I think it would make a lovely jelly as well, to put on meats or cheese.
Lovely meeting you today, it is always nice to put a face to a name.

The colour of the plums if incredible. I'm keen to give it a taste test.

Yes, a jar of Davidson's Plum Jam, collected over the last week, made last night, a little too pureed this time, but still very tasty. I'll bring along some scones (shop bought) to have with the jam.
I'm also bringing the large monstereo cutting for yourself. Are you ok to take that today?
And 1 overripe and 1 underripe monstereo fruit.
Davidson Plum seeds - Davidsonia Pruriens
Monstereo seeds - only a very few.

Is that what you are bringing today Rob?

That's the spirit! I always reckon rainy weather is the very best time to be out in the garden.
