And the second one….

It brings me great joy to let you know that after living without goats for the past 6 months, we now have some again :-). If you're new here a bit of back story. I had goats for almost 6 years and loved them dearly - milking and feeding them daily (you can read a bit...
I'm a big fan of reinforcement mesh (aka reo mash) as a material to use for making simple and super strong and versatile structures for plants to grow on. I'm always keeping an eye out for scraps of the meh at our local tip shop, alas it's highly sort after. So...
In 2022/23 I collaborated with Australia reMade to ask people living in lutruwita/Tasmania what they wanted a climate-safe future to look like for their island - we received hundreds of responses. We then worked with local animator Vivien Mason to turn them into a...
Later this year (2023) Australia we'll be asked to vote in a referendum on whether we should change our constitution to enshrine a First Nations Voice to Parliament. This is a moment not to be underestimated, rather a moment to join in on, a moment to get deeply...
Over the past few years I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my two apricot trees as they've never really thrived. Symptoms included not fruiting well, sparse leaf and dead wood starting to appear in the canopy branches. Finally this year while we were...
A new project is brewing. This one has come from my dear friend Nadia Danti's brain and I was lucky enough to be invited to join in - it’s a goody. It's a seasonal project where we grow flowers (mostly dahlias) specifically to give away* to people doing meaningful...
I grew Yacon/Peruvian ground apple (Smallanthus sonchifolius) for the first time this past season and I'm a huge fan. I scored the tubers from a fellow keen gardener, Matt, who lives around the corner from me. He popped a few tubers in my hand and I popped them in my...

Home Harvest is an edible garden trail around nipaluna/Hobart that we started in collaboration with the City of Hobart in 2020. Here’s the latest one from 2023 – it was an absolute ripper of a day! Over 700 people took themselves around to some incredibly diverse edible gardens and just had such a great time. […]
We’re happy to announce we’re working with Eat Well Tasmania and Sustainable Living Tasmania to hold our fourth annual “Home Harvest” garden tour in the nipaluna/Hobart region! Special thanks to the City of Hobart for funding this great initiative. Home Harvest is going to be a one day event on Sunday March 19th, 2023 in and around nipaluna/Hobart where […]
Hi Friends, I’m in the process of writing my second book about how to grow food in any climate in Australia (due out late 2023 with Affirm Press). As it’s covering the whole, vast country I would so very dearly love to include photos of edible gardens in different climates to show folks what’s possible […]
There are many varieties of potatoes (aka spuds) but only two key categories they all fall into. Determinate and indeterminate. Determinate potatoes don’t grow very tall and only produce spuds in one layer of soil so you don’t need to mound them. They also generally mature quicker than indeterminate types, a good thing to know […]

These are wonderful tea towel illustrations.
Learned that vase shape is not good for our desert southwest here in US – all that direct sun ends up burning the limbs and I’ve seen in on our apple tree.
Good point Cirrelda, it’s all about context!
