Mallow is a delicious, mild-tasting greenβ¦ you may have seen it popping up in your backyard or neighbourhood. Itβs considered a weed by some, and a staple food by others.
The young leaves are great in salads, but also can be used in soups as a thickening agent. The seeds are a yummy snack too.
Want to learn how to forage for food? Identifying and harvesting edible weeds is one of the most popular topics in our Permaculture Living Course, a five day hands-on course in October thatβs curated to help you live a sustainable and connected life.
Learn about edible weeds, healing with plants, growing your own food, fermenting, making compost, building community and more!
The lovely Martina who is featured in this reel is one of the teachers, alongside some other permaculture & sustainable living whizzes.

Name our mulcher! Our bright green mulcher is so well loved, a crucial part of the teamβ¦ might be time to give it a name. Marty the mulcher? Chip the chipper? Write your suggestions in the comments !ππΎ
Macca and Jackson made the most of the sunshine this morning to finish chipping a big pile of sticks and branchesβ and now the mulch is making its way on to our garden beds and pathways where itβll break down into yummy goodness for for the life in our soil.
There are many reasons why we mulch at the farm: Suppress weeds, save water, feed the soil!
All kinds of wonderful things happen at Perth City Farm Markets. Today at the Djeran Harvest Festival, we caught @timdarbymusic singing a song in the chook yard. We are not sure what the chickens thought of being serenaded, but the children sure liked it.

Our red tailed noisy beauties are back! β€
Twice a year our farm is visited by these magnificent Kaaraks, who love this Sheoak tree. Kaaraks are known to move from the Wheatbelt to the coastal plain searching for food, this mob should be heading inland to their nesting sites for breeding season.
Bit of time for a rest and a snack first though. We love that these birds are one of the many species that use the wildlife habitat our farm provides. It feels like an honour and its so enjoyable to watch them and observe their patterns.
Have you noticed Kaaraks on the move recently near you? Love to hear in the comments π€
