24.01.2022 Methinks it is the year of the double pink poppy. We have had a couple of red singles but the rest are all like this. The Guelder Rose blossoms are small but I do love them at this stage before they go white . . .... . #limegreen #guelderrose #viburnumopulussterile #poppy #springistryingtospring #flowersforafriend #mudgeeregion #tryingtoprecipitatetoday See more

23.01.2022 A few days ago we decided this lawn wasnt offering us much so swipe to see the change. Part of the Garlic crop in plus other stuff. We have a four year rotation system in our veggie garden so this has been included in that. . . .... . . . #mudgeeregion #growyourownfood #homegrown #sustainablegardening #recycledconcreteblocks #eatwell #nutritiousanddelicious #staywell #staysafe #stayhomesavelives @ Mudgee, New South Wales See more

23.01.2022 The frosts are here and we have harvested the pumpkins. I sowed several different spots around the garden wherever I had a spare dripper. The only one to survive was Ironbark. It got about six liters of water once a week and produced twenty pumpkins. As you can see this one had a battle with the fence. . . . . .... . #mudgeeregion #homegrown #sustainablegardening #bowfield #opportunitycrop #pumpkinsforwinter See more

22.01.2022 It’s been a busy week. Some lovely Elaegnus Tubestock from Mudgee Nursery potted up for a client. Then local mature Olive Trees moved to @yeateswines glorious new cellar door.

20.01.2022 Last night’s dinner on our new veg garden sink. Ready for a prewash before coming inside. Parsnips have always been a fave veg of mine but nothing it seems compares to homegrown. Even raw they are delicious Raffa the rooster is a gentle giant with us but a fierce defender of his girls. We now have some Japanese quail but no eggs yet :( The greenhouse is already full with Tubestock I am growing on for clients and lots of seedlings. Ahead of me today a perfect job for freezin...g, rainy weather......More seed sowing in the toasty greenhouse . . . . . . . . #mudgeeregion #homegrownisbest #feedyourfamily #seeds #seedlings #alicebuiltthegreenhouse #isoproject #obsessivegardener #newlife #bowfield @ Mudgee, New South Wales See more

20.01.2022 A garden that is an old friend of ours and a privilege to be working in such a beautiful spot. This week we are helping take it to the next level with an orchard, extended vegetable gardens and entertainment zones . . . .... . #homegrownveg #beautifulspot #dogsloveitto #funtimesahead #muchlovedspace #loveourwork #michaelferrissculpture See more

19.01.2022 False quince paste. Very similar to quince but not quite as strong a fragrance or flavor #pseudocydoniasinensis #thermomixwasquick #mudgeeregion #frommygarden #yummy #goodwithcheese #wontlastlonginthishouse

19.01.2022 I do encourage as many birds as I can into our garden but not sure how keen I am on this one. I think it is a straw necked ibis? #hopeheisnteatingworms #strawneckedibis #farmersfriend #onhisown #hopeheiseatingslaters #mudgeeregion @ Mudgee, New South Wales

18.01.2022 And some more .... I saved the seeds from my double pink poppy last summer and spread where I wanted them. Miraculously the plan worked #mudgeeregion #poppylove #davidaustinroses #itwasworththeffort #loveselfseeders #buddlejaalternifolia

15.01.2022 It has been hard to get inspired about the garden with no prospect of rain but I am finally getting around to my winter cut back, in spring. Hope it grows a bit before our visitors in October . If nothing else it is a good drought strategy to reduce the canopies. This garden is already top dressed with Living Earth Supplies Compost so will mulch with Lucerne hay ASAP. We still have hay left over from bulk buys back when wet hay was a thing. . . . .... . . . #drought #betterlatethannever #gardendroughtstrategies #mudgeeregion #notasbadasothers #ornamentalgarden #springcleanthegarden #mulch #compost @ Mudgee, New South Wales See more

15.01.2022 Another first time grown vegetable. This was an old seedling I found in a large hardware store. Bit dodgy looking but I thought I would give it a go. No idea what I was doing but we harvested six kgs. Next time I: wont mulch as much, will pile soil on stems as the grow, will protect from roos as soon as I plant, will continue to eat the leaves as they are delicious . #. . .... . #mudgeeregion #iso #foodinthetimeofcovid19 #homegrown #sustainablegardening #worththeverylittleeffort #alicelovesthem #rooslovethem #bowfield See more

13.01.2022 Nothing to do with gardening although he does chat over the fence. This is Army our beautiful old stock horse, 30 years old today #milestone #horsesbirthday #1staugust #oldfriend #lawnmower #pensioner #wellfed #muchloved

13.01.2022 Winterhome, Kekerengu in Marlborough. A beautiful garden 40 years in the making principally by the late Sue and Richard McFarlane but now cared for by their son Winston and his family. Absolutely stunning location, strong layout and many vistas. , , , ,... , , , , #familyrun @winterhomenz #gloriousgardens #Avocadoenvy #theyevenhaveasuspensionbridge #Scotchthelabrador #Marlboroughgardens #newzealand #strongaxis @ Kekerengu, New Zealand See more

12.01.2022 Ohinetahi, South Island, restored by Sir Miles Warren and Pauline and John Trengrove and the garden developed from 1977. Remarkable, as is all New Zealand thus far, because it so green and lush but also because this is gorgeous space to wander through. So much going on with a variety of completely different spaces and crammed with exciting artwork set in a stunning bay and none of it over the top. Beautifully maintained.... . . . .... . . #grandgardens #itsallabouttheaxis #wildgarden #natives #sitespecificsculpture #sissinghurstinspiration #governersbay #hedgesgalore #topiarygalore #modernart #modernsculpture #sirmileswarren #newzealand #canwetaketherainhome @ Christchurch, New Zealand See more

12.01.2022 You win some you lose some. The sultanas I bagged were delicious this year and so was the corn I managed to get before the birds found it. - #bagthefruit #chemicalfreepestcontrol #sustainablegardening #homegrown #propogatedfromriverlea #lovesultanas #bowfield @ Mudgee, New South Wales

10.01.2022 This is where my worlds meet. Pruning and wreath making. I make the wreaths as I prune and then store them flat whilst they dry. All ready for Christmas Mind you some of them will disappear into baskets . . . @cedarcicada #ilovepruning #wreaths #wreathmaking #basketry #christmaswillbeherebeforeweknowit #ornamentalgrape #notpruningforfruit

09.01.2022 Such a treat to be able to pick a couple of buckets of blooms for a special friend’s birthday. I try and have year round perennial flowers in the garden. Any annual flowers are a bonus for the birds, the bees and me (us!) . . . .... . #mudgeeregion #bigbirthday #oldfriends #winterflowers #happybees #bowfield #foodandshelter See more

09.01.2022 These beautiful Cloche were made by the very clever @rainieross. As an experiment I used one to cover one of my first broccoli seedlings. The only one to survive the cabbage moth was the one in the Cloche! #sustainablegardening #cabbagemothsbegone #mudgeeregion #winterveggies #cleverfriends @ Mudgee, New South Wales

08.01.2022 A long time between posts. I have been very busy in the garden this summer growing lots of food. This however was a little bit of beauty I couldnt go past. The Naked Lady was living here before we moved. I had to dig her (and all her friends) up when we renovated in 2014. I carefully replanted (with the bulb neck exposed) and apart from the occasional flower they have sulked ever since. They do hate to be disturbed. At last it appears they have settled in their new spots as this year they are popping up everywhere. In the background some of my precious Lunaria which always reminds me of Mum #oldbeauties #belladonna #driedhonesty #noeffortgardening #ungratefulbulbs #bowfield #sulkingover #sustainablegardening #cottagegardening

08.01.2022 Pruning perks. This is part of a lovely old wisteria that has pulled its pergola apart. A very severe prune to allow the rebuild of the pergola was in order. We enjoyed the flowers for over a week.

07.01.2022 Flaxmere, Canterbury high country. Penny Zino has gardened here for over 50 years. Beautiful plantings native and ornamental with strong axis and views to the farm and mountains. I particularly loved the native plantings.

05.01.2022 Trotts Garden, Ashburton. Developed by Alan Trott with his wife Catherine. Knot gardens with different levels where the hedges cross each other, huge collection of rhododendrons and other woodland plants, 110 m perennial border but the red border was my favourite by far. . . .... . . . .#newzealandgardens #herbaceousborder #redplantsgalore #berberishedges #berberishelmondspillar #malus #charitabletrust @ Trotts Garden, Wedding and Function Venue See more

04.01.2022 It has been an exciting week at Bowfield. We split a friends hive but unfortunately no queen cells so a new queen has been introduced. Plus my first peony flower in twenty years of growing them. It seems it is all about the variety. #bees #sustainablegardening #peonylove #itohpeony #fingerscrossedfornewqueenbee #gardeningfriends #beelove #mudgeeregion #bowfield @ Mudgee, New South Wales

03.01.2022 Another Luffa harvest. This time all but one I couldnt reach. One perfect and several more that we will be able to use somehow. Swipe to see the ones that didnt make it on the left hand side and another lot before washing. Also the Luffa Harvest assistant. An integral part of the operation.

03.01.2022 We are gradually replacing our fruit trees with dwarf varieties. I cant believe I am planting trees with no rain in the foreseeable future, an empty dam and a dodgy bore but there you go ... For those who are interested this is how we work with the #mudgeeregion clay and rock filled soil. We dig the holes with an auger but rock the Auger as we dig so the holes arent smooth on the sides. Then add about two fifths, total volume of hole, of Living Earth Supplies compost and... one fifth Gypsum. Mix soil, gypsum and compost together. Try not to go deeper than about 300/400 mm with the mixture. We dont want the compost to break down anaerobically. Redig hole, plant tree, ensuring soil at same height on tree as previouslyplanted, backfill hole. Then, most importantly, water in until soil has settled all the way around the plant. If you see a dam as in first photo fill soil again until level before adding irrigation and mulching heavily. That believe it or not is the abbreviated instructions.
