Intemperate Edibles: September 2010
http://flooddwin.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Watering solution: Capillary beds. Spending a lot of time working away from home as I do I needed a simple and cheap solution to one of last year's problems - how to water my seedlings. I decided to make capillary beds as it seemed the least complicated solution to the problem. Thankfully, it was third time lucky. The latest design works a treat, plus it was simple and cheap to make. A 35 litre under-bed storage container with a lid (on special for $8 at the hardware store).

Intemperate Edibles: I love bokashi
http://flooddwin.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-love-bokashi.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. As I wasn't really in a position to create and maintain a standard compost bin/heap and as I had access to a reasonable quanity of food scraps, including material not suited to standard compost, I thought I'd have a look at bokashi (I already had a worm farm). A 20 litre handy pail - basically a 20 litre bucket with a tight fitting lid. A plastic microwave dish with several holes drilled into it - it should fit snuggly just off the bottom of the pail. This separates the soli...

Intemperate Edibles: A trip to the Capital
http://flooddwin.blogspot.com/2010/10/trip-to-capital.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. A trip to the Capital. We've just had a long weekend. A time which tradition has long dictated that all able bodied persons from inland locations should flock to the seaside to spend goodly sums of money supporting regional economies. Well, we decided to return the favour and spend a part of our weekend in our nation's capital, Canberra. There were two main reasons - the Australian National Botanic Gardens. And the annual flower festival known as Floriade. October 6, 2010 at 8:4...

nina's gardening notebook: April 2010
http://ninasgardeningnotebook.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Photos and notes from my garden and allotment. Sunday, 25 April 2010. How to be mean to beans. Put bean seedlings into heated propagator overnight to protect from falling temperatures. Next day have a leaisurely breakfast, it is the weekend afterall. Visit the hairdressers, browse in the shops. Make the most of the incredibly hot sunny weather and have a nice lunch outside in the sun. Go for a drink down at the beachside pub, the weather is so glorious it could almost be the Med! I am hoping that the hea...

Sloe Gin | A gardening life in Brittany
https://trevorhunt.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/sloe-gin
A gardening life in Brittany. Our life at Ty Guen, a fisherman's cottage on the North-West coast of Brittany, having opted out of life in England for a while to live an alternative lifestyle as gardeners here close to the sea. A Life as a Gardener in France. The House By The River. Sep 19, 2010. That sounds like quite the potent drink, I’d be out like a light. Do you gather fungi as well, Trevor? Or is that too risky? Sep 19, 2010. Ha ha…it is! Best to drink when you have no intention of going out! If yo...

Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Nature deserves a great artist. It's autumn here in Australia. A time of brilliant colour as the leaves change. A time of still, clear mornings and beautiful sunrises. A time when you walk around muttering under your breath that you wish you'd brought along a camera to snap that National Geographic moment. Exhibit A: Failure to capture a perfect moment in nature. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Top bed: Come back little worms. Apologies to anyone reading, but this is really just a recor...
