Donna's Garden - October 2011

Posted by Donna on October 23, 2011 at 12:33pm

With a garden visit coming up, it was time to give my garden a huge make over... so I decided to mulch. After ringing around they all seemed to have a minimum order of 10 cubic metres so I finally buckled and ordered it to be delivered on…

Donna's Garden - September 2011

It's been a long time since I got back into the garden. Not a lot growing in the vegetable gardens I cleared a month or so ago... planted heaps of seeds but none of them seemed to want to grow with the exception of beetroot and a lonely kale…

My goodness, time just flies! I have been having trouble finding time to garden, what with David who is now 5 and at 'big school' and Brendan who is coming up to 2 - my boys are growing up so fast! With working full time as well I always…

Donna's Garden - December 2010

Posted by Donna on December 28, 2010 at 1:02pm

Well it has been the rainiest December in history and everyone is getting very sick of it. My yard is very wet and you squelch wherever you walk... unless it is mud then you slide. The chicken pen is a slurry and a fair few spots are…

Hi Donna

Are you able to approve photos and members at the moment? I can't. Am wondering if Ning is broken or if it's something wrong with my account :(

Hi Donna, I've uploaded it on my Google document, and shared it to the BSS iinet account. Do you have a gmail account?

Morning Donna.

Yeah, not seeing how they farm the quails is a big disappointment. I don't think Joseph realised we couldn't do that when he organised the visit. Will go one day with the Elaines though to pick up some meat and eggs and visit the markets as well.

Hope this rotten wind dies down today - it's my least favourite weather.

Take care

Thanks for the welcome Donna.

Although Im miles away at the moment, I am really looking forwad to getting back home and getting my fingers dirty again. Being in the UK has taught me so much about a different way of life, much of which is completely different to our sub tropical climate, but I know there are things I can take home and put to good use. If nothing else, its giving me a renewed zest for my desire to grow my own produce, cook and enjoy the simple things in life.

And I cant wait to get my girls (4 chooks) back when I get home.

I am looking forward to using your site as a wonderful knowledge tool - so happy I found it!

Hi Donna

Would Brisbane Seedsavers be interested in a spot at the Hillbrook Sustainability Day event? I have been trying unsuccessfully to contact you throught the Seedsavers website. We have many stalls coming on th day promoting 'grow your own food" in the Green Car Park and would love seedsaving to be showcased as well. Sophie Munns will be having her "Homage to the Seed Project" stall promoting her seed message. LMK if you are free this Sat from 10am - 4pm or part thereof?

Regards
