red papaya leaves
"Looks like mite damage.
Although youngest leaves/ new growth affected = possibly sulphur (too much lime? - check ph?) or manganese (too alkaline again)"
Scarlett Patrick replied to Susanne's discussion Quinces, know where I can get some?"Crisp on Creek in Mt Gravatt, and Rock and Roll Deli in Greenslopes both have a good selection and carry quinces in season (and lots of other good things, like fresh turmeric, yams etc you can plant) but I'm afraid I don't know…"

Scarlett Patrick replied to Lissa's discussion Ban on bee-harming insecticides would be a mistake, says chief science adviser""could harm food production" - yeah not as much as not having any bees to pollinate our crops - what an idiot? new job could be a short lived new position... "

It's easy enough to buy expensive things and follow the directions and get beautiful (although often not very tasty or resilient) plants. Growing amazingly healthy plants using natural processes and products to be found in your own backyard (or front yard as the case may be) is much harder - but it is possible. It's a question of harnessing and powerboosting natural processes. Brilliant soil, teaming with microbes and organic material, is the real holy grail I think.

It's official. I can't live happily without a vegie garden. So I'm putting one in. Here is the 'before' shot of the extremely annoying patch of grass in the front yard which kept growing across the gravel and creating a lot of work.

NB in Brisbane I recommend Barambah Organic Full Cream Milk, or Food Connect Herd Share milk. Because I'm in Victoria now I'm buying beautiful grass fed milk produced locally in the Western District where…

WEDNESDAY 25th MAY
I checked The starter that I dug out about one week later - a nasty shade of blackish grey, and smelled a bit mouldy. I chucked it. Will have to make a new one. I think Elaine found the reason - I had used boiled kettle water because I ran out of bottled water. I've bought some distilled water until I replace my filter machine.

As you may be aware, I moved to country Victoria last December.
I'm still keeping up Brisbane Local Food because so many people are using it, and I'm proud of it, and I enjoy it, and I think it's helping the world which makes me feel good.
I apologise, though, for now being out of touch with the weather and what's going on for people in Brisbane, and having only an…

Hi Scarlett, sorry to read that you are 'leaving' in June. As a new member I can only say that I was impressed by this site and I guess this is your 'baby', so well done!

Lissa said… I must admit my first reaction was...what the! isn't that my pic? why has that person used my pic?? But then I realised what was going on lol. Happy for them to be "famous" :D
I had a similar, now funny, experience lately. One of the online garden sites is looking for pics for a calendar and I clean forgot I had sent some in. I followed their link to their FB page and there were my pics! I actually posted a comment saying "why are my pics here?" before remembering and deleting almost immediately. Unfortunately, they still ended up with the comment and sent me a testy little email asking if I wanted them removed lol.
