Grow Your Own food. Monday, 28 November 2016. Ummmm . Yup . lots of Elephant garlic and its now sitting on the veranda stinking up the neighbourhood. It was planted in May of this year (2016).

This Elephant garlic will stay here on the veranda for about 5 weeks. After that I will top and tail it (remove the leaves a...

Grow Your Own food. Friday, 28 October 2016. Vegetable Seedlings - corn, beans, cabbage, etc. This is what the seedlings look like as of this morning. They were planted 20 days ago so are growing quite well considering the weather here has been cold and wet. I will leave them here on the veranda for another 12 days and then plant them out into the main garden. All chance of one late last frost should be passed by then. I've put them here on the veranda to protect them from the frost. It is possible t...

http://growyourownfoods.blogspot.com/2016/07/new-carrot-video-old-carrot-video-re.html
Grow Your Own food. Friday, 22 July 2016. New carrot video (old carrot video re-edited). Finally found a spare moment to edit my " Carrot Video. The old one is still up on YouTube ( this is the old carrot video. But thought I better make a few changes and actually add a bit more useful information. I was hoping I could "swap it out" by replacing the existing YouTube video with this newly edited one but no luck. WHY can't we just accept things for what they are . I made a video (I didn't have to). These a...

http://growyourownfoods.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Grow Your Own food. Tuesday, 26 July 2016. Cold Climate Zone Planting times for Australian Gardens. I've found a couple of climate zone maps, the first one I copied from my Yates Garden Guide Book (without permission sooo sshhhh). And the second colour image came from a garden magazine but I can't remember the name of it. I prefer to use the map from Yates as it shows the cold climate zone more accurately. If you click on the image it will enlarge for a better view. I hope you find this information useful.

Very sweet, mid to late season prune. A prolific bearer. Planting Ideas and Uses. Use for fresh fruit, Jam and stewing. I use some ...
