1stop Organic Gardening

We’re so lucky here in South Australia, with our temperate climate…  hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. It means we can grow quite a variety of fruits and vegetables and always have something ready to eat from the organic garden.

Here’s a photo from a couple of days ago of my organic garden. It’s got a few weeds, but you get the idea.

We’ll have to wait a while yet for the leeks, caulis and cabbage, but the broccoli is ready to start harvesting. Our broad beans (behind Brassicas) are just starting to flower. We’re still eating lettuce, spring onions, peas, parlsey, silverbeet, spinach, radish, beetroot leaves and carrots. We’d have more to choose from if I had more garden beds (our soil is like beach sand!) to grow in.

I’ve also got a few veggies and a great variety of herbs growing in our poly tunnel. And now we’re gearing up to plant a vast amount of variety to feed both our own family and have surplus to sell at the Barossa Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning.

Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living…
