The Garden

The Garden A small urban 'farm'. Natural! Permaculture based and tours available if you have a gold coin :p So, I do what I can to help out friends and family.

A small urban 'farm' where I grow lots of stuff for myself and better half - too much in fact! I can't claim it to be organic, but there is also nothing artificial. No sprays, chemicals or anything like that. Just compost, dirt, sun, air and water! I'm happy to help out the poor, sell excess where I can, give tours, consult on setting up your own garden, swap and educate so bring yourself or your kids and see what's possible! Thanks in advance!

This has been a fantastic summer for warm-weather plants and it's not too late to get planting but stick to quick-growing crops like potatoes beets chard radish and tomato, bean and capsicum seedlings!

Today's haul! Already ate the nectarines and peaches plus there's a heap of beans still on the vines! Pumpkin everywhere...

Summer is slow and spring has been mild - not good for growing. Be patient and prepared and stick to plans. Apple, brocolli, rhubarb and corn in the one shot doing their best to grow!
