Wordless Wednesday - A Day Out

A cold but clear day at CERES - inner city permaculture and sustainable living

The Growing Challenge - nothing growing here except questions!

So I am joining in with The Growing Challenge over at One Green Generation. The name of the game is growing things to eat, from seed, in your garden, trying out new plants and of course blogging about it - which sounds right up my alley, plus a good way to motivate myself to both […]

Spring Gardening ‘08

It is not quite spring yet, but look, we have a single jonquil blooming in the garden, so I am declaring it the beginning of early spring at our house!

With that in mind I need to get my act together where the garden is concerned.
We’ve made really good progress on weeding and re-jigging some of […]

What Where and When - I already know how!

Finally my Diggers catalogue has arrived! This one is the big bumper annual issue with all the seeds in it. This year I have also requested an Eden Seeds catalogue, which hasn’t arrived yet (I only ordered it two days ago so no surprise really) but when it does I will have all the veggie […]

Zucchini Bread

Autumn Garden

Ok so we are already more than half way through Autumn but the seasons have been weird this year and we are still getting the end of the summer veggies so it has taken a while to get this far.
We’ve finally seen the end of most of the summer veggies.
The pumpkin vine came out a […]

Need to remember garden stuff.

OK boring garden post coming up, look away now…
Am blogging this because I need to remember and if I write it down on a piece of paper odds on I won’t be able to find the paper when I need to remember… so since this is a multi purpose blog this will do nicely.
The girls […]

Garden Stuff

OK well, I had grand plans a few weeks back to blog a huge post about the vegie garden.. I went out and took photos but then got stumped on how to actually display them all in a way that made sense in one huge post…. I have since given up!
So I’ve decided to just […]
