Growing an incredible edible garden - Morag Gamble from Our Permaculture Life

Recipe here Cathie: LINK.

Pumpkin jam!?

Cathie - correction it is Childs Road instead of street.

Cathie and Andrew, I too would love to walk with the indigenous ladies, but my legs are not capable.  In my library of books, I have many on indigenous foods, and read them regularly.  

The best I can give you is from my quick notes - meet 10.00am on Tues or Thurs or both, at Childs St, they mentioned Nudgee Cemetery, but after looking at this street, it is not near cemetery.  

The Zillmere Library may have some more info. Muriel, another BLF member may have more info, a phone number or something.

Can you let me know Cathie?  I'd be keen as well. 

Christa, black pepper helps enormously with the absorption of the curcumin in turmeric, maximising its health benefits.  (I have no idea how I know that.)

It's good with those vines which produce prolifically - eg Cucuzza, Choko - to eat the leaves. That reduces the area for photosynthesis so reducing the crop of fruit. So you can get the best of both worlds without being overwhelmed with fruit.

Tenerumi -- New Gunea Bean/Cucuzza -- leaves are eaten keenly in Italy.

Sample recipe: LINK.

They are soft and pliable.

You could do the same with young choko leaves.

Elaine, she did say the new young leaves are less hairy and are nice steamed along with the end. I had forgotten a lot of the leaves that we can eat as vegetables. There were many new gardeners there so it would have intrigued them.  There were heaps of questions.  

There were ladies there who were asking if anyone was interested in a walk with indigenous elders through the nudgee waterholes to show the edibles around that area. I believe they will only be doing a couple more sessions.  They were to meet near the Nudgee cemetery in Child Street, if interested.
