We have had our Raspberry plants in pots for over a year now , so it was exciting to finally have garden space designated just for them. We also picked up a tiny Boysenberry plant on our last Bunnings trip which will be added to the “Berry Garden”. We prepared the garden bed a week …
Our seedlings are off to a great start. Nearly all of our seeds have sprouted and the seedlings that are through are now powering. The Broccoli, Red Cabbage and Kale have all come through and are powering. The two Zucchini’s that have come through are huge already. It definitely won’t be long until they can …
We love eating homemade bread. The smell of it cooking and those first slices when it’s hot out of the bread maker, you just can’t beat it. We really like the Laucke Crusty White bread mix and keep an eye out for when it’s on sale. Usually we buy the 2.4kg but were stoked to …

I have always loved olives but never knew what went into preserving them. After seeing a post on Facebook advertising olives for sale I decided to give it a go. The wonderful lady delivered the olives off her fathers tree to my door as well as a recipe on how to soak, brine and marinate …
With Spring coming up quick smart, we did a bulk order online of seeds ready to plant into our HugelKultur’s. I had never heard of a Huhelkultur until my husband brought it up after doing lots of research and it should hopefully work in our favour. It gives us a way to use the tree’s …
