Hi Gardeners your hard work and the recent warm and wet Summer weather has led to this morning’s abundant harvest! J👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners,

It is sunny morning after good rain during the week and our crops have grown well - herbs are especially abundant. The squash trombonccino have proved to be a great visual novelty, productive and delicious, baked to eat.

Hi Gardeners

Eight members worked hard this morning - spent sunflowers removed and soil prepared for strawberries, aloe Vera divided and repotted, trombonccino still producing huge gourds, and tomatoes, cucumbers and corn harvested. Coffee well earned!J👨‍🌾

Hi Gardeners Summer crops thriving so there were many cucumbers to harvest. The failed zucchini crop was lifted, as were the remnant Kipfler potatoes before basil and beetroot seedlings were planted. Crops fertilised with Nutrisoil foliar spray. Unfortunately half of the chard crop was foraged by non member with scissors which has killed the plants. Our practice of only harvesting a few outside leaves at a time enables this crop to continue to grow for many to share.

Hi Gardeners
Another busy and productive morning in the garden and lovely to have Sandeep’s mum, Linda, join us.
Corn netted to protect the crop from possums, tomatoes and trombonccino tended, bird bath cleaned and plants fertilised with blood and bone.

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. 👨‍🌾

23/11/2024

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. 👨‍🌾
