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 …
