A Perfectly Imperfect Harvest

A Perfectly Imperfect Harvest

Our family has been in our new home for a year now.  Between work and children, home life and gardening, it can sometimes feel as though the progress is slow.  Painfully slow sometimes.  But these holidays I’ve taken the time to stop.  Really pause, and look at what we’ve managed to accomplish in 12 months. […]

Tips to Re-Potting

Tips to Re-Potting

Winter is an incredibly productive time to be working in the garden.  Even though most of the plants are dormant, there’s plenty of pruning, planting and transplanting to do.  Winter is also the perfect time to give all your potted plants the once-over to ensure they’ve got everything they need to put on strong growth […]

In the Garden – Winter 2019

In the Garden – Winter 2019

It has been a busy season here at home.  I’ve started working 5 days a week and so have been trying to cram in a week’s worth of gardening into the weekends.  Time with the kids has also been limited so I’ve tried to convince them that they love gardening too so I can spend […]

In the Vegie Patch – Autumn 2019

  Five months after moving into our new home, I am ready to turn my focus to the outside and get stuck into the vegetable garden.  We were lucky to have inherited a fenced veggie patch of a good size, but it’s in need of a lot of tidying and reworking.  When we moved in, […]

Helping my Garden Through Drought

Helping my Garden Through Drought

Another season has almost passed by and I thought I’d write an update to my post here on the drought we’re experiencing at the farm. Sadly, autumn thus far has delivered us next to no rain and the future predictions on rainfall in our area over the coming year is not good. It’s hard to […]

Pruning Blackberries

Pruning Blackberries

I am very fortunate that the home we purchased a few months ago has a number of fruit trees and bushes already established.  One of the fruits that we inherited are blackberries. I am very excited to have blackberries already established in the garden, as they were on my long, long list of foods I […]

Nectarine Tree

Nectarine Tree

The second most annoying part of gardening (the first is weeding, of course) is dealing with pest and diseases. Prevention is definitely better than cure.  Keeping your eye open for any signs of stress or damage to a plant is usually the easiest way of identifying a problem early.  If caught early enough, most issues […]

Lawn Care

Lawn Care

We have had a few requests about caring for lawn and how to solve some issues, so let’s talk LAWN. We like to ensure that anything we do in the garden and around the home is simple and easy and lawn care is no different. Looking after your lawn on a regular basis is much […]

New Farm Friends

New Farm Friends

  As I hinted early last year (here), we have been waiting on the arrival of some special additions to the farm.  We’ve spent a long time waiting, but I can finally introduce you to Wally and Tweedledum – the alpacas.   These guys have been worth the wait.  Not only are they utterly gorgeous […]

Summer Rose Pruning

Summer Rose Pruning

  Roses are a wonderful addition to the garden.  They look beautiful, are incredibly hardy and are fairly low maintenance.  As an added bonus, you can cut the blooms to bring inside for some free colour. Roses need very little attention, needing just a fertilise and haircut twice a year in order to promote new […]
