Roots and Perennials Planting Days in Late Winter, and Meditations on Belonging 25 Aug 2013 | 10:04 am
We had frost this week. Two nights of it in a row. Not up to the height of my garden, which is 300 metres above sea level, but all along the creek flats. But the week before we had one day over 28°C...
Avocado, Lime and Coriander Dip with Baked Sourdough Corn Chips 23 Aug 2013 | 09:42 am
My glut crop at the moment is coriander. In a few weeks time it will all go to seed. Babies planted now will hardly leaf up before running to seed. So now’s the time to make the most of it. If you...
Fruiting Planting in Late Winter – Rattlesnake Beans 18 Aug 2013 | 09:44 am

Broccoli 3 Aug 2013 | 06:16 am
My glut crop at the moment is broccoli. I was a bit late planting it this year, so the first round of the big major heads are all coming together now. Usually it’s a few weeks earlier. I don’t usual...
Bandicoot fencing 29 Jul 2013 | 09:21 am
The most labour intensive work in my garden, for quite a few years now, is fencing. Often I feel like those Greek fishermen you see in movies who spend most of their time mending nets. Bandicoots ar...
On a Roll – Planting in Midwinter 22 Jul 2013 | 04:13 am
Inspired by my own last post, I’ve got it together to go out in the rain and plant out a new bed. I’m wet and muddy, but I did have such fun. And the wood stove is going so there is hot water to get ...
It Doesn’t Take Much…. 20 Jul 2013 | 07:39 am
