MY HOME BREW OVERFLOWETH

April 9, 2011 No Comments

Inspired by our Permaculture Course Dylan decided to make his first solo home brew. Dylan informed me you have to enjoy a good quality beer whilst brewing and he chose a local Moo Brew.I lent a hand and the beer sensed that I was not a beer drinker and decided to exit the saucepan, but luckily a quick reduction in heat meant not to much was spilled, hopefully not the best bits! Our fears were put to rest when a test showed that this beer was going to be a strong one, the best bits remained and with avengeance!

LITTLE HELPERS – MARCH IN THE GARDEN

March 31, 2011 No Comments

We are slowly extending our garden into the unused corners of the garden. The chickens have helped us weed the driveway and the little girls next door helped me plant out a second nature strip garden. I found a lovely Easter reciped for baked eggs in Delicious Magazine and it was lovely to be able to use our own eggs and roquette, but not our own fetta…yet. Hehe, I don’t think I’ll be able to get a goat just yet.

PUMPKIN PENDANTS – FEBRUARY IN THE GARDEN

February 28, 2011 No Comments

We were away a bit in January and the pumpkin and zucchini vines took the opportunity to take over everything, although we’re not complaining with zucchini chips and beautiful beans in our tums. We were proud to fill our first basket of produce from our very own garden. It probably didn’t need to be all piled into the same basket, but it just felt much more satisfying walking around the garden piling it up higher and higher!

A LITTLE GUERRILLA GARDEN

February 26, 2011 No Comments

Having read a little about guerrilla gardening I was inspired to put some prime north facing land to use. After all it is just there at our doorstep, it seems like such a waste! I’ve started small, due to urgings from Dylan, but I have much bigger plans for our humble nature strip!
