garden -general

8* this morning here - aquaponics tanks at over 15* though with pumps turned off overnight. So far so good this winter without any heating needed.

We're away this weekend - Garden club excursion to Byron Bay area visiting Seed Savers, Forbidden Fruits Nursery and other related places.

The plan is to buy some more subtropical type fruit trees to plant in an area I am currently redoing.

Fish dinner the other night - Jade Perch , Dock ,Warrigal Greens , Chickweed were the edible weeds, and a few other bought vegies. When I look around my yard there is so much available to eat at the moment. Our climate is strange for someone from a temperate zone - all the action happens in winter, especially for working outside and growing vegetables.

It's getting a bit dry again - not much rain for awhile but with lower temps things are still quite green.
