25.01.2022 Family day at Fig Tree Farm. Liz and Hannah came to help out planting garlic and both had a great time. It must be said that Hannah much preferred trying out tractors and climbing in puddles on daddy’s veggie tarps rather than planting garlic but still got a few handfuls in the ground. She’s now absolutely filthy and very worn out - for a good sleep tonight #figtreefarmweejasper #garlic #planting #toddler #child #kid #twoyearsold #farm #farmkids #tractor #tractorkid #drive #orange #kubota #old #sosickofplantinggarlic



23.01.2022 Incredibly dense pumpkin planting went in last week. In about three weeks time, these pumpkins will completely shade the soil and easily outcompete the weeds. With eight heirloom varieties, these guys will keep the plot ticking along through summer and hopefully produce some amazing pumpkins come autumn next year #figtreefarmweejasper #pumpkin #pumpkins #summer #vine #vines #weeds #weed #weedcontrol #delicious #heirloom #heirloompumpkin

21.01.2022 Unfortunately we couldn’t make it to one of the strikes today but it’s inspiring to see so many people attached to this cause. To those (politicians and others) who say kids should be in school rather than attending a rally, one of the most poignant signs I saw at the last climate strike had words to the effect of ‘What use is an education if the Government won’t listen to the educated.’ #climatestrike #canberra #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #dosomethingaboutit #farmingishardenoughwithouttryingtodoitinadesert

19.01.2022 Scapes for days. Hardneck garlic sends these flower spikes (scapes) up just before it’s ready for harvest. Allowed to flower, these spikes produce true garlic seed (called bulbils) which look like tiny garlic cloves. Removing the scapes allows the garlic to expend more energy into the bulb rather than producing seed. These scapes are a wonderful ingredient if you can get your hands on them - mild garlic flavour and the texture of asparagus. I’ll keep picking these as they emerge and we’re aiming at a harvest date about two weeks away. #figtreefarmweejasper #garlic #scapes #garlicscapes #delicious #tasty #sogood #rare #onceayear #canberra #weejasper #cbr #cbrfood #knowyourfarmer #knowyourfood



18.01.2022 When it gets so cold your frost suppression becomes part of the problem. I’ve had some chilli plants hidden away in the greenhouse, waiting to save seed once they fully ripened. Up until today I’ve been protecting them from frost with an automated early morning watering. Unfortunately, overnight it got so cold that anywhere water touched it froze. I walked in this morning to find three inch icicles on the propagation bench, sheets of ice on the walls and a solid coating of ice over the chilli plants I was trying to protect. #figtreefarmweejasper #ice #winter #cold #freeze #freezing #frozen #freezeyatitsoff #seedsaving #seedsavingfail #shishitopeppers #shishito #winterishere #winterinweejasper

15.01.2022 I love our local community! I contacted @aforagersheart to see if she could use our garlic bulbs that are too small for sale or to save as seed. Not only did she give them a new home but she gave us this incredible rhubarb and lemon cake in return. So delicious! #figtreefarmweejasper #aforagersheart #garlic #small #cake #rhubard #lemon #delicious #tasty #yum #community #neighbours

12.01.2022 Last season was brutal and we’ve been hanging out for a holiday. The better half of this partnership had a massive exam last weekend and to celebrate her achievement/decompress we headed for warmer climates. The view is a little muted by scrub but the proximity to the beach is amazing. Whale spotting on the veranda is a pretty great change of pace. See you in a bit. #figtreefarmweejasper #warm #winter #coast #holiday #trip #vacation #vaycay #vaycaymode #secretlocation #notreallywereinforster #wasliterallytypingwehaventseenawhaleyetwhenilookedupandsawawhale #truestorybro



09.01.2022 If you look at Instagram, it looks like all we’ve done is take holidays since the farm closed down for last season. I can assure you we’ve been very busy and thoroughly deserve a week in Tathra. We have some history down here and try to come back every so often. It’s our first trip back since their devastating bushfires last year and despite regrowth, the scars are still very visible. We genuinely love this part of Australia, the scenery is spectacular, the people unfailingl...y pleasant and friendly. Apologies for the zoomed in, blurry photo. Trying to avoid other pub patrons in the picture. #figtreefarmweejasper #holiday #tathra #nsw #farm #beach #coast #southcoastnsw See more

07.01.2022 Hannah showing off her self seeded Autumn Zinnias. We’ll have to pick a big bunch for Mother’s Day tomorrow. We hope all you Mums out there have a great day! #figtreefarmweejasper #zinnia #flowers #bright #colourful #colorful #pretty #beautiful #stunning #florist #flower #mothersday #toddler #farmtoddler #theymightbeselfseededbuttheyremyflowers

04.01.2022 So apparently I’m a better farmer when I do nothing. This bed of Garnet Giant Mustard was a failure back in January as the soil was way too hot for germination but now that the season has finished the plants are loving life. Check out the amazing texture on those gorgeous purple leaves. #figtreefarmweejasper #mustard #garnet #garnetgiant #texture #pretty #tasty #spicy #hot #abandonedgarden

01.01.2022 And the cycle begins again. It’s been nearly three months since our last post and there has been some speculation about Fig Tree Farm and where we’re headed. A change in circumstance in the near future will see us relocate to Sydney right in the middle of what would have been our fourth CSA season. I can’t say that I’m overjoyed by the move but after the harshness of the 2018/19 season, a season or two off is definitely enticing.... However, to prevent the weeds, that we’ve worked so hard to eradicate, having a field day in our absence, a commercial crop of heirloom pumpkins are being sown for this summer and we’ll follow that with successions of cover crops until our return. Thank you to all our followers for your on going support. Local, sustainable food supply is one of the easiest and most important aspects of fighting climate change, I urge everyone to get to know your local farmers and support their efforts to bring you the freshest food available. #figtreefarmweejasper #seeds #seed #csa #farm #farmlife #newbeginnings #whatisoldisnewagain #supportlocalfarmers #canberra #cbr #cbrcsa #heirloom #pumpkins #covercrop #sydney #nsw #localfood #local

01.01.2022 Tarps off and they’ve done a great job! Whilst they still haven’t killed the bloody skeleton weed, there is not one other weed in the beds that have been covered. I’ve turned the top layer of soil with the power harrow, splashed some water around and will now cover the soil again for another three weeks. At that point we pass the likely risk of frost in this area and pumpkin seedlings go in. #figtreefarmweejasper #tarps #weeds #weedcontrol #sprayfree #chemicalfree #canberra #pumpkins
