25.01.2022 And this season I'm planting ..... chickens??!!??

25.01.2022 9th law of gardening: your lawn is always slightly bigger than your desire to mow it #10lawsofgardening

25.01.2022 Starting to get a bit of fungal leaf spot on my heirloom beetroot leaves due to high temperatures and recent heavy downpour leaving the soil pretty damp. I reckon this coming season will see a lot more fungal problems. . . . #beetroot #beets #heirloom #veggies #homegrown #organicgardening #organicgardener #organicproduce #veggiepatch #humidity #macarthurnsw

22.01.2022 Do you have a worm farm? I have 2, one that I bought about 30 years ago and one that I retrieved from the side of the road. Gotta love a good freebie, hey!! What sort of worm farm do you have and how long have you had it? Tomorrow I'll share my tips about keeping your worm farm healthy along with a little hack I've nailed for harvesting your castings. Save this post so you remember to come back for some top tips about worm farming.... P.S. For memory I think this might be a picture I got from somewhere on the @tumbleweed website . . . #backyardgardening #vegetablegardening #veggiepatch #veggiegarden #gyo #growwhatyoueat #homegrownveggies #gardenproduce #backyardveggies #growfoodnotlawns #ediblegarden #chefsgarden #organicgardener #urbanorganicgardener #urbanfarmer #backyardfarmer #newgardener #firsttimegardener #beginnergardener #rsgcommunity #wormfarm #wormfarming #gardeningcourse #gardeningworkshops #gardeningtips #gardentips #compost #nutrientdensefood #nutrientdense

21.01.2022 This is one of my "essential kitchen gadgets" for making salads. I'm sometimes asked if you still need to wash organic veggies and the answer is OF COURSE YOU DO!! They're often grown in manures and compost so they can still get dirty even if there are no nasty chemical pesticides used. I discovered this lettuce spinner when it was recommended by @maggie_beer at a cooking demo years ago. The centrifugal force of the spinner gets rid of all excess rinse water, making it easier for any oily dressing to stick to all the leaves. I love it and always go by Maggie's recommendation to spin it twice to make sure you get rid of all the water. . . . #homegrown #growyourownfood #cookingtips #homecooking #saladleaves

21.01.2022 Rhubarb is my nemesis!! So I'm giving it one final crack in my JD whiskey barrel. I'll plant it up with some viola that I salvaged and repotted from the cracks in the pavers. The crown is a bit weird looking and I'm not 100% sure which way up I'm going to plant it yet. Haha some things aren't as straightforward as you want them to be. Anyway, fingers crossed for this time.

21.01.2022 I always use certified organic potting mix when potting up edible plants. Yeah it's a little bit more expensive but I'm assured that there's no chemical residues.

20.01.2022 It's going to be a good season for fruit. This is the first of so many blossoms just ready to burst on my pear tree. It takes a fair bit of formative pruning in the early years followed by pruning to encourage fruiting spurs later on, to get it just the way I want it now.

18.01.2022 Anyone else tried growing spuds in sacks? I'm a bit late with potatoes this season but still plenty of time to get growing. I've got 2 varieties in 2 different sacks. This one is designed for potatoes. You just roll down the sides and plant chitted seed potatoes (already sprouting) and cover with more potting mix. As they grow and shoot through the top, you keep covering them with a compost/mulch mix, unravelling the sides of the sack as you add materials. Then the tubers wi...ll form all along the buried stems. Remember to keep the growing tip and 2 leaves over the mulch and bury the rest. Fingers crossed. . . . . #vegetablegarden #veggiepatch #veggiegarden #growyourownfood #gyo #growyourown #homegrown #organicgardening #organicgardener #urbanorganicgardener #urbangardenersrepublic #ediblegarden #growsomethinggreen #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #gardeningtips #urbanfarmer #kitchengarden #thehappygardeninglife #growwhatyoueat #backyardveggies #growfoodnotlawns #greenthumb #gardenactivist #sustainablesprout #nutrientdensefood #nutrientdense See more

17.01.2022 Splitting of carrots and other root crops is a result of too much water. This happens after sudden bought of rain when the plants outgrow themselves. It also happens to tomatoes and results in skins splitting open, making it vulnerable to disease. It reminds me of a pregnant mama's belly when it gets covered in stretch marks. . . . #stretchmarks #pregnantbelly #carrots #organicgardening #veggiepatch #veggiegarden #growyourownfood #gyo #growfoodnotlawns #growwhatyoueat #notperfect

16.01.2022 Broad beans are just starting to flower now. They need a sturdy support structure if you get strong winds through. I set up this structure earlier from old and broken stakes. I made it tall but this variety of broad bean is only dwarf and won't need the height. I plan to put my indeterminate tomatoes in this bed after my broad beans finish and they will definitely need the height of this structure. I often have trouble with rust on my broad beans towards the end of their seas...on so rather than use a pesticide, I just figure it's time to pull them out and plant something different. . . . . #homegarden #homegardening #backyardgardening #vegetablegarden #veggiepatch #veggiegarden #growyourownfood #gyo #growyourown #homegrown #organicgardening #organicgardener #urbanorganicgardener #urbangardenersrepublic #ediblegarden #growsomethinggreen #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #gardeningtips #urbanfarmer #thehappygardeninglife #gardenlife #gardeningcourse #gardeningworkshops #growwhatyoueat #backyardveggies #growfoodnotlawns #greenthumb #gardenactivist #sustainablesprout See more

10.01.2022 Fruit flies have been a real problem in this garden. We caught hundreds in a commercial trap. Now for our homemade version. We used 1/2 tbsp cloudy ammonia, 1/2...tbsp vanilla essence, 100g sugar, 1tsp dishwashing liquid, 1tsp vegemite and 1 L hot water. Dissolve all ingredients and pour into 3 plastic bottles with 1.5cm holes around the neck. Hang in trees. Best to replace liquid every couple of weeks. Recipe taken from PIP magazine issue 18. Good luck! See more

09.01.2022 This is how you know if your beets are ready. They'll bulge above ground level. Scrape a bit of soil away at the sides to feel how big they are below ground without actually removing them.

08.01.2022 2nd law of gardening: weeds grow at precisely the rate you pull them out. #10lawsofgardening

08.01.2022 Finding Brown. Have you found brown? If you haven't then you better!! Here's why .... Brown material in your worm farm will determine whether your castings are any good, so you should always remember to ADD BROWN materials as well as veggie scraps. Otherwise it's going to be a horrible sludgy, stinky mess. (I think we've all been guilty of that, if we're being totally honest now). I get a regular supply from these different sources:... fallen autumn leaves around the neighbours dry twigs from pruning the fruit trees egg cartons & shredded office paper bedding waste from local guinea pig (or rabbit) breeders When you harvest your castings from the bottom tray, you often still have worms in that tray, so a little hack I've discovered (and you will too if you swipe now) is to put this tray on top of the worm farm and leave it exposed to the light. The worms don't like the light so they wriggle down into the tray below. I scrape off a bit from the top and then come back about 10 minutes later and scrape a bit more. I keep doing this until I've got the whole lot of castings and all the worms have wriggled their way out of the tray. After I put all the castings on the garden, I give the tray a good rinse and then put it back on top of the worm farm as my new working tray. REMEMBER - always feed your worms in the top tray. . . . #backyardgardening #vegetablegardening #veggiepatch #veggiegarden #gyo #growwhatyoueat #homegrownveggies #gardenproduce #backyardveggies #growfoodnotlawns #ediblegarden #chefsgarden #organicgardener #urbanorganicgardener #urbanfarmer #backyardfarmer #newgardener #firsttimegardener #beginnergardener #rsgcommunity #gardeningcourse #gardeningworkshops #gardeningtips #gardentips #wormfarm #wormfarmingtips #gardeninghacks #nutrientdensefood #nutrientdense #healthyliving

05.01.2022 I got free mulch!! You can too. I got buckets and buckets and buckets of free leaf mulch for the garden by raking up fallen leaves from the neighbourhood street trees. Deciduous street trees give my community much needed shade through summer and free mulch by winter. By collecting the leaves from curbside gutters, I'm actually preventing it from getting washed into stormwater collection points and polluting our waterways.... I got a bit of healthy exercise raking (who needs to pay for a gym membership??) and the street is clean.
