Hello everyone, 🌞 Its
Another scorching day here in the Wide Bay-Burnett Region, SEQ. We enjoyed plenty of rain over winter, resulting in an abundance of tomatoes everywhere! 🍅 As mentioned before, I've been busy making sauce. Today, I ventured into something new: a family favorite, Green Tomato Pickle. 🥒 It turned out even better than expected on the first try, and I'm excited to make more as we head into the peak tomato season. This year, I'm experimenting with several Australian Heirloom Tomatoes, so stay tuned! 🇦🇺 Hopefully, we'll discover some winners for our region. 🌱

Best regards, 😊

Permaculture Principle #10: Use and value diversity
“Diversity isn’t involved so much with the number of elements in a system as it is with the number of functional connections between these elements. Diversity is not the number of things, but the number of ways in which things work.”
~ Bill Mollison

Diversity is the ultimate party planner of permaculture systems, ensuring every event is a spectacular hit! 🎉🌱

Her motto? "The more, the merrier!" 🌼

But what exactly does diversity mean? It's not just variety; it's a celebration of differences! How dull would life be without it? 🤔

Diversity paints a picture of abundance and vibrancy: gardens bursting with juicy tomatoes 🍅 and colorful blooms 🌸, fruit-laden trees 🍏, and the symphony of flowing water 💧, solar cookers ☀️, and a outdoor bathroom 🌬️. It's pure richness!

In permaculture, enhancing diversity is key. When we compost, we mix in diverse materials to enrich it with essential nutrients and microorganisms 🦠, ensuring healthier soil and better crops.

Diversity provides stability within systems. Rich soils support robust plant growth 🌿, diverse animal systems offer varied food sources 🍳 and compost materials, and animals contribute to tasks like pest control and garden bed preparation 🐓.

Having multiple water sources ensures continuous supply, reducing the risk of shortages 🚰.

In gardening, diversity means planting different crops to handle weather changes and pests 🐛. Polycultures confuse pests by overwhelming their senses with variety 🌾.

Beyond gardens, diversity is crucial in energy sources. Relying on one source risks blackout; diversification brings resilience ⚡.

Whether it's gardening 🌱, energy production ☀️, or making a living 💼, embracing diverse methods prepares us for life's surprises.

So, in every new endeavor, celebrate diversity. Plant a variety of fruit trees 🍊, grow diverse veggies 🥕, and explore different energy options 🌍. A permaculture design without diversity simply isn't complete.

The permaculture principle of 'use and value diversity' applies to all aspects of life. Embrace diverse people 👥, plant diverse trees 🌳, and savor life's diverse scope of possibilities 🌈.

Since World War II, corporate control and modern hybrids have drastically reduced traditional heirloom vegetables for gardeners. 🥕🧑‍🌾 Supermarkets and global transport have allowed produce to be grown far from where it’s consumed. 🌍🚛

New corporate-owned hybrid varieties prioritize shelf life over flavor and diversity. This has homogenized our vegetables, erasing region-specific varieties bred for local climates and soils. 🌱💧 Modern veggies lack environmental adaptation, forcing gardeners to buy seeds annually from large companies at high prices. 💸🌿

In contrast, open-pollinated heirloom seeds, passed down for generations, are our shared horticultural heritage. 🌾🌻 These seeds allow gardeners to save and replant each year, fostering adaptation and diversity. 🌼🌱

Heirloom varieties show natural diversity, reflecting centuries of selection for taste and performance. 🍅 Unlike uniform hybrids, heirlooms offer unique traits that can be improved through seed saving. 🌿✨

Heirlooms also excel in disease resistance and productivity, often outperforming hybrids. 🛡️🌱 Their local adaptation reduces pesticide use and promotes sustainable gardening. 🌻🌍

By saving and selecting seeds, gardeners enhance heirloom varieties, integrating local soil and climate into their genetics. 🌎 This transforms heirlooms into resilient strains, reflecting the gardener’s vision. 🌱🧑‍🌾

Choosing open-pollinated heirlooms empowers gardeners to cultivate locally adapted varieties. 🌾 Over generations, these seeds evolve into resilient strains, enriching our shared gardening heritage. 🌻

It’s time to see seeds not just as commodities, but as vital assets to be nurtured and cherished year after year. 🌱 When gardeners become stewards of seed, they join a great horticultural tradition & help in preservation of our seed for many generations to come. 🌿✨

How to Plant and Grow Zinnia Flowers 🌸

These beauties are a must-have in our ! 🐝🦋

Zinnia flowers are annuals, meaning they’ll grow for one season, produce seeds, and won't return the next year. But don't worry, they’re worth the effort! 🌱

Why Grow Zinnia Flowers?
Zinnias (Zinnia elegans) are vibrant, long-lasting blooms that brighten up any garden. Plus, they make stunning cut flowers! ✂️💐 I noticed our Zinnias were a magnet for bees and butterflies—so many fluttering friends visited this year, we even had them growing all though-out our cold winter! 🐝🦋

Growing Zinnias from Seed
Zinnias are one of the easiest flowers to grow from seed. 🌱 They thrive in full sun but can tolerate part shade, especially in warmer climates with afternoon shade. However, they might be more prone to disease and produce fewer blooms in the shade. 🌞

🌿 Spacing: Plant seeds 20-30cm apart in rows or clusters.
🌿 Depth: Sow seeds about 6mm deep in soil or containers.
🌿 Timing: Direct sow after the last frost or start indoors 4-6 weeks prior to the last frost.
🌿 Water: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Seeds usually germinate in 4-7 days. 🌧️

Transplanting Tips
Zinnias can be finicky when it comes to transplanting—they may become stunted or fail to thrive. If you decide to transplant, do it early and handle them with care. 💚

Encourage More Blooms
After your Zinnias bloom, deadhead the old flowers to encourage more blossoms. 🌼 Under ideal conditions, you can expect your Zinnias to flower in about 60-70 days. 🌺

Ready to plant Zinnia seeds? Check out our pink salmon mix online or visit our retail outlets in Gin Gin QLD🌱

Windy Days Indoors: Creating Herb, Garlic, and Blossom Compound Butter 🌬️🌿
As the wind whips through the garden, coaxing the winter edibles to bloom, there's a special kind of magic in staying indoors and letting creativity flow. From the backyard veg patch, where herbs and blossoms intertwine, comes a delightful culinary adventure: herb, garlic, and blossom compound butter. 🧄🌸

In the sanctuary of the kitchen, amidst the gusts outside, gather fresh herbs like sage, thyme dill, spring onions & oregano—each whispering tales of the season's resilience. 🌱 Embrace the pungent allure of garlic, harvested with care from the cool earth. And there, amidst the greenery, discover delicate blossoms of nasturtiums, coriander, bok choi & viola, their vibrant hues promising a burst of blossomy flavour. 🌼

To craft this compound butter, soften creamy butter and blend it with finely chopped herbs, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of those edible blossoms. Fold them together gently, allowing the flavors to marry. As the butter takes on a verdant hue with specks of floral elegance, wrap it snugly in parchment, ready to be chilled and savoured & decorate! Be sure that you inly use edible blooms. 🍃

On a windy day, this culinary creation not only warms the soul but also celebrates the season's abundance. Spread it generously over warm bread or melt it on top steamed vegetables. 🥖🥦 Let its richness melt into the essence of your dishes, reminding you that even indoors, amidst the howling wind, creativity blooms from the garden to the table. 🍽️

With Spring fast approaching & many of us building or refreshing garden beds in preparation for the warm season, I have some “food for thought” around the most overlooked natural soil amendments. Bit of a read but I hope it can help fellow gardeners continue to improve the quality of their soil & grow healthy nutrient dense food! So here goes…

The Importance of Adding Biochar to Your Vegetable Garden Beds 🌱🪴

Biochar, a form of charcoal produced from plant matter, offers numerous benefits to soil health and plant growth. Here’s why incorporating biochar into your vegetable garden beds is essential for supporting healthy underground ecosystems.

What is Biochar? 🤔

Biochar is created through pyrolysis, where organic materials like wood and are heated in the absence or as little as possible oxygen. This process produces a stable form of carbon that retains beneficial properties.

Benefits of Biochar 🌽🥕

1. Improves Soil Structure:
- Enhances porosity for better water retention and aeration, preventing waterlogging.

2. Enhances Nutrient Retention:
- Acts like a sponge, holding and slowly releasing nutrients to plants, promoting robust growth.

3. Supports Beneficial Microorganisms:
- Provides an ideal habitat for microorganisms, improving nutrient access and soil health.

4. Reduces Soil Acidity:
- Balances soil pH, creating a favorable environment for vegetable plants.

5. Carbon Sequestration:
- Locks carbon into the soil, reducing atmospheric CO2 and mitigating climate change.

6. Pest and Disease Suppression:
- Reduces soil-borne diseases and pests by supporting a resilient ecosystem.

How to Use Biochar 🌻

- Preparation: “Charge" biochar by soaking it in compost tea or mixing it with compost.
- Application: Mix biochar into the top 6-12 inches of soil at a rate of 10-20% of soil volume. This seems like a lot but it is the overall goal that can take some time to achieve
- Maintenance: Periodically add small amounts to maintain benefits.

Integrating biochar into your garden beds promotes vibrant plant growth and a thriving underground ecosystem, ensuring long-term soil health and productivity. 🌿🌼 Heathy soil= healthy plants

Gardening tips, tricks & traps!

Want to extend you Broccoli 🥦 harvest season! With winter veg coming to an end here in SEQld, try this trick before you remove your Broccoli plant from the garden.
Green sprouting Calabrese broccoli, a variety from Italy, is prized for its tender stems, small florets, and rich flavor. Unlike common broccoli, which produces one large head, Calabrese broccoli yields a medium head and numerous smaller side shoots, ideal for extended harvests. Here are some tips to ensure a prolonged harvest from your green sprouting Calabrese broccoli:

🌱 Harvesting Tips:
First Harvest: Cut the main head when fully developed, but before the flowers open. Use a sharp knife and leave about 5-6 inches of stem. 🌿
Extending the Harvest: After the main head is harvested, the plant will produce numerous side shoots. To encourage continued production:
Regular Cutting: Frequently harvest the side shoots when they are small and tender. This encourages more shoots. ✂️
Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to direct the plant’s energy into producing more shoots. 🍃
Feeding: After the first harvest, side-dress with compost worm tea to boost nutrients and promote further growth. 🌾
Consistent Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist to prevent stress, which can reduce yield. 💧

Time to plant your carrots again!!!
If you want to harvest consistently, succession planting is a must. If you curious about moon planting; nows the time to experiment and observe your results right before your own eyes!
During the waning moon 🌘, when the gravitational pull remains strong, causing increased moisture in the soil 💧, and with decreasing moonlight 🌑 directing energy towards roots, it's an optimal time for planting root vegetables 🥕, perennials 🌷, biennials 🌱, and bulbs 🌼. This phase promotes active root growth, making it ideal for establishing these types of plants in your garden.

Good Morning All
Its a very clear “BLACK FROST” Morning in Mt Perry North Burnett.

Black frost, also known as dry frost/killing frost, occurs when temperatures drop below freezing, but the air is too dry for frost to form on surfaces. Unlike white frost, which creates visible ice crystals, black frost causes plant tissues to freeze and die without any visible ice, leading to a blackened, wilted appearance. This can be particularly damaging to vegetable gardens, as the sudden freeze can harm or kill young plants and tender crops.

In mountain regions, the risk of black frost is higher due to rapid temperature changes and the thin, dry air. Gardeners need to be vigilant and prepared for these conditions.

1. Get out there & spray the foliage of your plants now! Before the sun pops up!!! This prevents the cell walls of your plants from freezing & potentially killing them!
2. Covering plants with frost blankets or insect netting/shade cloth
3. mulching the soil to retain warmth, and choosing frost-resistant vegetable varieties are effective strategies to mitigate the impact of black frost.
4. Additionally, planting in sheltered locations and monitoring weather forecasts can help protect your garden from unexpected frost events.

🌱 Why Watering Your Plants Early in the Morning Is Crucial to Minimizing Frost Damage🌞❄️

We had a frosty sub zero here in Mt Perry this morning & it served as a reminder to keep my little youngest plants happy & prevent stunting.

As gardeners, we know the delicate balance of nurturing our plants, especially during vulnerable times like frosty mornings. Here's why timing your watering can make all the difference:

1. Protective Barrier: Watering your plants early in the morning creates a thin layer of moisture on leaves and stems. This layer acts as a protective barrier when temperatures drop, reducing the likelihood of frost damage. Think of it as nature's insulation!

2. Temperature Regulation: Moist soil holds heat better than dry soil. By watering early, you ensure that the soil around your plants is warmer overnight, helping to moderate the temperature and keep your plants safer from freezing.

3. Avoiding Ice Formation: When watered early, plants have time to absorb moisture before temperatures plummet. This prevents ice crystals from forming inside plant tissues, which can damage cell structures and lead to wilting or even death in young plants.

4. Minimizing Transpiration: Watering in the morning allows plants to absorb water during cooler hours, reducing water loss through transpiration as the day heats up. This conserves water and ensures your plants stay hydrated throughout the day.

5. Healthy Growth: Consistently practicing early morning watering encourages healthy root development and overall plant resilience. It supports vigorous growth, which is crucial for young plants as they establish themselves in your garden.

Next time you're tending to your garden, consider the timing of your watering routine. By giving your plants a drink early in the morning, you're not just hydrating them – you're providing essential protection against frost and setting them up for a thriving season ahead. 🌿💧

Permaculture Principle 9: Use small and slow solutions

We've reached Principal #9 in our 'Explore the World of Permaculture' series, focusing on integrating its principles into our backyard. Our goal is to empower urban backyards gardeners to make small yet impactful ecological and nutritional changes within our communities. I'm excited to continue this transformative journey with you in the coming months. Let's dive into Principal #9!

"Great changes often bring unexpected consequences”. When altering a system, rapid and extensive interventions can upset its delicate balance, resulting in unintended outcomes. Not all major changes yield optimal results; thus, it's prudent to adopt gradual, sustainable adjustments. 🌱

For instance, if you're planning to overhaul your garden's layout, don't attempt to replant everything in one weekend. Doing so can stress the plants and the soil. Instead, redesign sections of the garden over several weeks, giving plants time to acclimate and ensuring the soil remains healthy. 🏡

When trying to improve soil fertility, avoid the use of synthetic fertiliser, which can lead to nutrient imbalances and harm the microorganisms. Instead, grow a small patch of Green Manure plants to incorporate into the soil or add compost gradually, enriching the soil over time and promoting a healthy microbial ecosystem. ♻️

If you're interested in introducing new plant varieties, don't plant a large number of unfamiliar species all at once. Some may not adapt well to your garden's conditions. Start with a few new plants, monitor their growth, and slowly expand as you learn which ones thrive. 🌿

Even when dealing with w**ds, resist the urge to use herbicides that can damage nearby plants and soil health. Opt for hand-w**ding or mulching to gradually reduce w**d growth, allowing your desired plants to flourish without disrupting the ecosystem. 🚫🌱

Remember, slow and steady progress is key to long-term success in gardening! 🌼

Had a busy week in the garden last week. I noticed the turmeric plant dying back, so I decided to dig it up and harvest it to prevent rot before spring planting. This is the common yellow variety, which I love using in curries, teas, hope to try make golden milk lattes due to its anti-inflammatory properties. 🌿✨

I'm especially excited to dig up our rare "Black Turmeric" soon. It'll be a small taste test this year, but I plan to expand our crop next season. Black turmeric is known for its unique flavor and potential medicinal benefits, making it a valuable addition to our garden. 🖤🧄

Embracing Seasonal Eating:
Eating seasonally invites us to eagerly anticipate and fully appreciate the unique offerings each season brings. After a stroll around the garden today following another beautiful rain for the past few days my eye was keen on some delicious looking fennel ready to eat.

Chilly Nights with Cream of Roasted Fennel & Potato Soup

As the days are much shorter now and the evenings cooler, there's a comforting shift in the air. It's the time when gardens yield their final treasures of the season, and what better way to celebrate than with a hearty, homemade soup? Today, we delve into the art of crafting a Cream of Roasted Fennel & Potato Soup, using vegetables picked fresh from the garden.

The Inspiration: Chilly Nights and Garden Freshness

There's a unique charm to winter evenings, especially when the chill sets in just enough to keep us indoors. It's a perfect excuse to gather ingredients that speak of the season's bounty—potatoes dug from the earth, fennel bulbs plump and aromatic, perhaps a touch of garlic and herbs still flourishing in the garden beds.

Ingredients Straight from the Garden

The essence of any good soup lies in its ingredients, and using vegetables straight from your garden enhances both flavor and satisfaction. Here's what you'll need:

- Fennel bulbs: Freshly harvested, with their delicate licorice-like aroma.
- Potatoes: Ideally, choose creamy varieties smooth texture but whatever you have will work fine
- Garlic: Pungent cloves that roast beautifully alongside the other vegetables or you can add garlic powder if you like
- Onion: Sweet and savory, adding depth to the soup base.
- Vegetable broth: Either homemade or store-bought for a flavorful foundation.
- Herbs: A sprinkle of thyme or rosemary complements the earthy tones of the fennel and potatoes.
- Cream: For that luxurious finish, providing richness and a velvety mouthfeel.

Crafting the Soup: Step-by-Step

1. Roasting the Vegetables: Begin by preheating your oven and tossing chopped fennel, potatoes, garlic, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until tender and caramelized, releasing their natural sugars for a deeper flavor profile.

2. Simmering and Blending: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a pot, add vegetable broth, and simmer until everything is tender. Blend until smooth using an stick blender with a stainless steel attachment or carefully in batches with a countertop blender.

3. Finishing Touches: Stir in a splash of cream to enrich the soup, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with a swirl of olive oil & and sprinkle of fresh herbs.

The Soul-Warming Result

The Cream of Roasted Fennel & Potato Soup embodies everything cozy about winter —warmth, depth of flavor, and the satisfaction of using ingredients you've nurtured from seed to harvest. Each spoonful carries the essence of those chilly evenings and the joy of creating something nourishing from nature's gifts. Whether shared with loved ones or savored in solitude, this soup not only warms the body but also nourishes the soul, making chilly nights a cause for celebration rather than reluctance.
