A little example of plant adaptation. Each year we bring this Meyer lemon tree indoors for the winter, and then back outside for the spring and summer. It compensates for the difference in light by producing leaves nearly 10 x the surface area of the summer leaves, due to the difference in lighting. Generally, most is the larger leaves will fall off again once it returns to the outdoors and the whole cycle begins again! 😊❤️🌱

The gardener’s best friend, the Hoverfly (family: Syrphidae)!

A number of these helpful “tiny helicopters” have made their home here for the winter and they are not only fun to watch, but very helpful in pollinating our flowers, plus if they mate, we could have some larvae protecting plants from any aphids!

The Chinese 5-Colour Pepper is a bit of a marvel. Yes, you can often find multiple colours of peppers at any given time on these babies!

They begin with beautiful purple flowers giving way to the same coloured fruit, and then start off a chameleon-like show, transforming to beige, orange and finally red! Often you’ll even find peppers that are any combination of these colours! You’ll know they’re fully ripe when red, and that is when they’re at their hottest.

Highly recommend for both beauty and flavour!

Two of our PDC students have generously offered 1 of their unused textbooks to a prospective student who registers for our next PDC Course!

If you’d like to take our PDC (and maybe you’re a little low on funds), the next person to DM us will receive this text book, with $200 off your course registration fee (the approximate cost of this textbook).

Tremendous thanks to Holly W and Shawn M, our current PDC students, for generously donating their extra textbook, Bill Mollison’s ‘Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual’ to this worthy cause!

Best of luck to you!

😂 my voice is a little high-pitched at first 😜 Here’s just a simple way of making sure your leave mulch doesn’t blow away! Plus the use of comfrey for nutrients in spring…🌱😊🌱

When trying to mulch this time of year the wind can often work against us, and newly planted perennials require a little more care before harsh winter, as their roots may not have had as much time to spread underground as their more established neighbours. Here’s one way of mulching for protection, which will prevent leave from blowing away once placed.. 😊🌱😊
