Hi Gardeners,

Welcome to our new member Margot.
Thankyou Everyone!

Fourteen of us worked to get the plants nourished and in top order so there will be plenty of leafy greens , cucumbers and herbs to harvest over the Festive Season.
It’s going to be hot so call out if you need help with the watering roster. J🧑‍🌾

A few photos from our gardening adventures on Saturday

Hi Gardeners
On this wet morning (40mm of rain has fallen in last 48 hours)
We welcomed Jennifer who appreciates our many medicinal herbs.
We harvested a half bucket each of Blue Lake climbing beans and Dwarf flat beans as well as one lovely cucumber then enjoyed coffee and chat at Shortlist. 👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners

After a week of gentle rain and cooler days our Summer crops are lush and abundant. The insect life is also thriving!

Sadly six chard plants were scissored to the ground. These plants can continue to provide leaves for many months if only a few leaves are picked from each plant. 👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners this morning we welcomed Lily and our group of twelve were very productive harvesting our first beans and cucumbers as well as lettuce and kale.

Unfortunately the stink bugs are still affecting the lime tree despite removing so many from the tree.

The mulberry and elderflower have been pollarded and now the sun can reach through coriander has been planted as an under storey. 👨‍🌾

10/11/2024

Today… our first Sunflower! Planted Celery, Curly Leafed Parsley, a Heritage Tomato, Lebanese Cucumbers and some Alyssum.
Collected more stink bugs from the lime tree. 👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners
We were busy Saturday planting the first of the Summer crops- several different chilli varieties, climbing beans, Lebanese cucumbers and sunflowers were planted.
All the beds were fertilised with Nutrisoil and worm tea from our own worm farms.
Chard, Lettuce, Spinach, Snow Peas and lots of Sweet Peas were harvested. 👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners ,

Today we harvested chard, baby spinach, daikon radish, snow peas and picked bunches of sweet smelling sweet peas.
Beds were prepared for Summer crops and we appreciated a visit from Tim from The Food Farm who encouraged us to use worm tea to increase the microbes in our soil. 👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners Seeds planted for our Summer crops, Elderflower tree pollarded, looking good for an abundant mulberry harvest, bees enjoying the Broccoletti flowers and the first of the Kipfler potato flowers. 👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners

Ten gardeners braved the cold wind this morning to fertilise our Winter food crops, prune the Elderflower tree, prepare the pots for chillies, fed the worm farms, tended the compost bins. We were rewarded with a good harvest of Broccoletti, radishes, lettuce, spinach and the first 🫛 snow pea! Thanks everyone J👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners
Thanks everyone. After a few weeks of focusing on maintenance the garden is looking splendid.
This morning we topdressed the paths with cypress mulch —we didn’t harvest much today but a walk through the garden is a sensory joy atm. 👨‍🌾
