I have heard we are going to get rain in February :-) so I decided to throw in a few bean seeds I saved from the last crop in the garden.
I can't find the discussion I was in when I mentioned I had a broccoli plant I had seeded from a previous crop and it was ready to be collected again ...it has an appearance in the clip.
I have over the past couple of years been saving…

I finally got around to prepping the school garden for the return of the children next week. It survived the Summer graciously.
The beds we did not cover with weed mat, I carpeted with harvested Vetiver mulch and they've done OK -- not much in way of weeds.
Hardly any '…

I have had to delay plantings to at least 3 of my beds due to the hot dry conditions even though I am covering with shade cloth and netting that I have made up on tunnel hoops, it is still taking a lot of water just to fill the local cafe's orders.
The continuing dry spell will be starting to make an impact on fruit and veg prices and availability soon enough, so as a grower its always good to know you have at least…

I shot a video of the planting out I did last season and changes I made for our Youtube channel.
As an update, I had to redo all the beds I used the organic material mulch on, going back to using landscape fabric as the pests were eating me out of any usable fruit.…

Hi Guys,
Welcome to 2019! As usual, it has been a very busy holiday season and I'm due back at work next week. But, I feel like I have accomplished a lot these holidays so am feeling rather chilled at the start of the new work year.
My holidays have gone like this:
Week 1: Down to Melbourne to drop my 2 daughters at my Aunts to work the summer holidays down there. Flew back on the Thursday and was driving up to Mackay the next day.
Week 2:…

I think I have made the transition to 'flat breads'.
It all began with my passion for Knäckebröd (Swedish style rye crisp [as in flat & hard] bread)...
Still make 'em. Still love 'em.
Gotta always have Knäckebröd on hand.
With the invested practice I can quickly put together a batch of these…

Well the last 18 months have bee awful!!!! I have had a resurgence of Meinghers and on top of that now have vestibular migraines and peripheral vaso-dilation. On a bad day I either pass out, have attacks with acute severe imbalance and nausea, or poor balance and headaches!
Still I have gone 9 good days in a row just before Christmas so on my good days i am now in the shed in the heat and in the garden in the evenings.
My garden looks neglected now but I am slowly working to get it…

Well, I finally have a small space within the nursery that surrounds my new home, to grow some pots of edibles for myself.
Some sunlight during the day but shade in the arvo.
Because I'm renting I'm keeping to pots and grow bags (still to come) so I need food plants that won't grow huge or need too much space and are productive and versatile.
Herb pot (foreground) has been going for many months now at the last house-sit. When moving, I emptied the pot, shoved the plants…

Has any one here done any preserving using lacto-fermentation? If so how do you store your jars once made?

Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
GrowVetiver is a plant nursery run by Dave & Keir Riley that harvests and grows Vetiver grass for local community applications and use. It is based in Beachmere, just north of Brisbane, Australia.
