My Victorian garden

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.

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…

No problem to put a link to www.slowfoodbrisbane.com,
but the weblog needs input. Good to see a Brisbane locavore group being very active.

Liz Cameron said… - Hi Scarlett,
Member #21, Liz here. Brisbane local food is a great initiative and very timely. Thanks for creating it. I'm fascinated by your photos (and inspired) and would like to know more about where you got your inspiration from (eg the pawpaw and banana ring - how does that work?) Is there a book that you can recommend?
Cheers,
Liz

- Hi Scarlett,
Thanks for getting back. I have Linda's book and Permaculture 1 but it sounds like I need to get hold of a copy of the manual and no.2. I'm looking forward to seeing your powerpoint presentation and the Brazilian house.
cheers,
Liz

- definitely - i'll get Robert and Morag to give it a plug in their workshop sessions, and I'll also give it a mention in my workshop too. The last session on Sunday afternoon will be all about connecting the dots within our communities and this ning site will be on the agenda.

Thanks for this- and as soon as I get my head around this network thing, I'll get onto what you're talking about. At the moment, it's all a bit over my head. Like the word animation... but we should talk about it!

Janine Martyr said… - thanks Scarlett, great website and well done with all the work you have put into it. I look forward to adding more stuff (photos particularly) and changing the watermelons to something more "me". Also must get a few more friends as Mypage looks a bit sad. picked my 1st 2 radishes the day before last and feel pretty proud. more veges to come and the chooks are on their way still. the timber is all out to construct the coope.
