18.01.2022 What happens when you throw all your expired seeds into a bed? A forest of vegetables carrot, beetroot, radish, tomatos, barley grass.

10.01.2022 A cool looking lettuce that came up from a lettuce mix, I havent been bothered to ID it.

10.01.2022 A herb spiral is way of growing herbs in one spot while at the same time give all the plants the microclimate the require. The shape means some places are wetter or drier or sunnier or shadier. A neat permaculture system.

10.01.2022 The pigeon pea hedge is starting to make a difference sheilding the house from the western sun.

08.01.2022 Growing salad greens in the kitchen is the most convenient way to grow salad greens.

07.01.2022 We increase the growth rate with LED filtered grow lights that run 7w each.

07.01.2022 Pigeon pea making a lot of shade on the western side of the house this is 9 months on from when I first planted them they are 2.5m high and still growing.

06.01.2022 Our main crop of tomatos with nasturtiums to attract polinators and sunflowers for natural trellises.

04.01.2022 This bed is full of beetroot which is one of my favorites, its also the lockyer valleys main crop.

04.01.2022 Our guava trees are full of fruit

04.01.2022 Basil flowers: I rip these off to encourage foliage growth. Only let your basil flower when you are ready to save seed. In hot conditions the plant will flower faster.

03.01.2022 First couple of asparagus heads coming up

01.01.2022 Expired seed bed. Main seeds were beetroot and carrots. Good germination rate.
