A very red season is upon us - tomato red that is!
Today's workshop at Costante Imports was productive, congenial and appropriately messy 😛

It's Peak Tomato in my garden right now. Sauces, salads and sandwiches are all delicious, but what happens when tomato season is over? Then we appreciate the little bit of extra work that it took to put those tomatoes into jars, with bottled peeled tomatoes, jars of chopped tomatoes and preserved simple pasta sauces, as well as the relishes and ketchups that can be made at this time of the year when tomatoes are a-plenty.

Take home bottles of passata for you to enjoy with your loved ones and make it a part of your seasonal preserving tradition.

I've signed up to Lemonshare, which was set up to share home-grown produce across the suburbs. You can either list what you have excess of; or look for ingredients you might like to have. You can put a price on your produce if you wish too 😉.

These plums have been listed and I'm getting rid of kilos of them - the tree is very generous every year 😍.

An event with a difference: An Afternoon of BarterJar, on Sunday 13th April. If you're a producer - and not just a consumer - of goods on a small scale, you would be interested in this event. Trade your home-made goodies with someone else's and enjoy an afternoon tea of home cooked delights.
My Green Garden will be there talking about techniques to cure and preserve olives, with plenty of tastings of course 😋😋.

Avoiding good food becoming waste - tick!
Creating community - double tick!!
I visited the awesome Park Orchards Community Pantry on Friday for their monthly catch-up and to see how the Community Pantry runs. All organised by volunteers, the Pantry provides food for free to avoid it being thrown out. And it is a great way to share excess produce from the home garden and meet new locals at the same time. I am so impressed with the effort the volunteers put into it all 😍 and look forward to becoming more involved!

A busy next few weeks for My Green Garden. Just enjoyed running a Chutneys and Jams workshop today in Braybrook, which followed on the heels of a Seed Saving workshop in Moonee Ponds last night. Next week we turn our attention to Growing Veggies - but not for absolute beginners. It's a free event hosted by My Smart Garden and the City of Stonnington - and best of all, anyone can attend because it's virtual. Join us from the comfort of your home! https://events.humanitix.com/veggie-growing-beyond-the-basics
