25.01.2022 This Heirloom Tuscan Kale has been relentless this winter - weekly pickings don’t phase it at all! As with all greens, make sure to keep your beds topped up with plenty of nitrogen (we use well rotted organic manure and compost incorporated prior to planting and top dressed half way through the season), and use some netting to keep away the pests - you’ll have more Kale then you know what to do with .. p.s - Are you a Kale lover or hater? Vote below ! (it’s often a divisive vegetable!)

24.01.2022 This squash is unstoppable. Direct sown into a raised garden bed 6 weeks ago, and we're almost ready to harvest! Below is a quick tip to make sure your squash sets fruit successfully The Cucurbit cousins squash, cucumbers, melons, gourds, and pumpkins - have a bit of a rep for average fruit set at times - and it's usually due to poor pollination of the female flower. ... Members of this family have separate male and female flowers. In order for the fruit to develop into delicious maturity - the male and female flowers need to cross pollinate. For our Summer Scallop squash, you'll notice in the photo there are two types of flowers. The big yellow ones with straight stems beneath are male - they open only in the morning. The female flowers are those with immature squash forming beneath - in this photo they've been pollinated and are ripening, but initially they'll be smaller and green. Unless cross pollination occurs, they'll fall off before ripening and maturing. And that'd be a total bummer. Pollination can occur via bees or wind spread, but in our opinion, hand pollination results in more reliable and more dense fruit yield. In order to do this, simply use a cotton tip to pick up some pollen from a strapping male specimen and deliver to the female flower. We generally just pick a healthy male specimen and remove the petals, and then dab the pollen into the female flowers - only takes a few seconds! We can't wait to start harvesting these organic heirloom Summer Scallop Squash in the next week or two! Who else is growing Squash this summer? Do you hand pollinate or let nature take its course? . . #gyo #gardeningaustralia #australiannature #australianplants #australiangarden #sydneygardens #australiangardens #timeoutsydney #urbanlistmelb #growwhatyoueat #vegtables #farmersmarkets #growyourfood #growroom #gardening_feature #homegrownveggies #grownfromseed #locallygrown #urbanfarm #freshveggies #lovemygarden #greenthumb #vegetable #eatyourveggies #gardenlife #brisbaneplants #wegrowaustralia See more

14.01.2022 Silverbeet Magenta Sunset How gorgeous are the colours of nature?

12.01.2022 These scarlet red heirloom carrots were harvested this afternoon, for dinner tonight Did you know it's better to harvest your carrots in the afternoon or evening? This tends to be the time of maximum sugar uptake by the root, making your carrots even more delicious and sweet. Another handy tip with your carrot harvests is knowing how to correctly store them for later use. The green tops are delicious in salads or pesto, but if you leave them on the root afte...r harvest, they'll continue to draw water from the root - and your fresh crispy carrot will soon be limp and soggy. We remove the tops, and wrap our carrots in moist paper towel before placing them in a paper or plastic bag that is able to vent. Then they go in the salad drawer in the fridge - they'll stay good for weeks this way. How does everyone else store their carrot harvests? We'd be interested to know! See more

07.01.2022 Did you know you can GROW your own reusable organic sponges? Neither did we It turns out the your bathroom "Loofa" of "Luffa" is actually a fruit that you can grow in your home garden. Mind blown. We're still not sure how we didn't know about this. ... The 'Luffa Plant' is an annual subtropical climbing vine of the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae), and grows slowly over the better part of a year. It's mature fruit - or "gourds" can be peeled to reveal a dense network of fibrous tissue which forms a wonderful natural sponge and non abrasive exfoliant - used to make the well known bathroom Loofah! Amazing. This beautiful specimen was grown by @garden_with_lee , who generously donated it to us - even though they take as long as a year to grow and mature! Thanks Lee! We've since planted seeds from this Gourd which have sprouted, and are starting our "vegetable sponge" adventure :) Yay! We'll keep you up to date with our progress. If you have friends who need to know about this ASAP, tag them in the comments below! And if you're a Luffa veteran already - please share your growing tips with us! See more

06.01.2022 #historytime The Nasturtium plants - best known for their vivid yellow, orange or red edible flowers - were first brought to Spain in 1569 by Spanish Botanist Nicolas’ Monardes, after his exploration of South America. The name Nasturtium actually describes the genus within the Brassicaceae family, of which there are seven different plant species. ... The common species colloquially referred to as nasturtium is actually the Tropaeolaceae - a name given by Swedish Botanist Carl Linnaeus. Linnaeus thought the green leaves looked like Roman Sheilds, and the bright petals blood stained helmets. They reminded him of the trophy poles of the Roman times, on which the armour and weapons of defeated enemies were hung. The name for such trophy poles was Tropaeum, stemming from the Greek word Tropaion. And so, Linnaeus name the commonly known Nasturtium Tropaeolaceae. In the East, they were also known for some time as the Indian Cresses, due to the similarity to the watercress flavour, and due to the origin of the Nasturtium in the America’s (formerly known as the Indies). Not just boasting an interesting history as well as a pretty face - the Nasturtium Tropaeolaceae is a winner in the organic veggie patch too. Delicious, mildly peppery flavour High in vitamin C, manganese, iron, beta carotene Attract pollinators Masks the scent of commonly targeted vegetables from hungry pests, acting as a trap crop - keeping your precious vegetable, herbs and fruits safe Secrete an oil into the soil, absorbed by nearby plants that helps them to resist attack by pests and disease Easy to grow Haven’t grown nasturtium? Maybe it’s time to give it a try! Who else loves this versatile plant? See more

01.01.2022 A beautiful tribute This bushfire season has brought home just how much Australia stands to lose as our climate warms. Our sincere condolences to everyone who has lost homes, property or even a loved one these last months. We grieve with you... At A Little Seedy, we plant a tree with every grow box sent out - it’s our way of giving back something that’ll continue to support the environment for years to come. But in light of these terrible fires, and the unfathomable amount of flora and fauna lost as a result - we’ll be doubling our commitment this autumn, and planting 2 trees for every member of our organic garden club - and are committed to planting a minimum of 1000 trees this coming season. While it seems a small number against the millions of trees lost, a little more habitat for our wildlife and a little more oxygen for our atmosphere is something at least. If you want to support our firefighters and those who have been affected by this tragedy, please check out the fundraiser blow https://www.facebook.com/donate/1010958179269977/?fundraiser_source=external_url Much love The Little Seedy Family #bushfires #australiaisburning
