New cover for calendar..

I changed the cover of our 2010 calendar after recieving a copy today- the carrots blown up huge are a little overwhelming! So we've got a nice cabbage instead.

New Calendar for 2010....

I've ordered a copy of our new calendar now available for purchase on Red Bubble, so in a few weeks anyone who is interested can check it out in the flesh (so to speak) at the gardens.

Working Bee October 2009

.
The Sun came out and drew us into its bosom..Good food, actually scrumptious food, a memorable dip from Roz and a memorable cake from Christine, crusty bread and more dips from Rebecca, choc biscuits from Peter.....Good company, good conversation. What else does one need on a Sunny Spring Afternoon...Work??? well actually we did come to a definite resolution regarding the Big Pond (nothing to do with Telstra) and Chris and Peter were later seen scribbling plans on the blackboard..and there was talk of sleepers, decking etc...frogs, fish, vanilla pods, saffron, biodynamic brown rice....and Christine is going to make a compost 'tea' from nettle for her garden while Rebecca was going home to brew nettle tea/soup...and Marijka is ecstatic to keep on growing it...despite strange looks and comments :-) from some unbeleivers.

Spring Feast

So a few more images from the day of the Spring Celebration a little bit late. Well a very bit late...






"Some explanation is needed here.. I really didn't eat and drink it all by myself..."

I'm going to use the new sink...



I grew these...






We had a lovely celebration of Spring today, despite it being a not particularly sunny and Spring-like day. After a glass or two of champagne, some fairies were spotted skipping through the gardens and Mark found some truly giant poppies in Kym's plot!

Well as hardly anybody turned up, yeah yeah I know it was the weather, I decided to have a snooze, but I kept one eye open just in case more did turn up.

The latest makeover...


Is this perhaps the answer ladies and gentlemen....The garden aka backyard blitz fairies came and went.

Oh what a Working Bee it was. July 2009

The contents of the shed had to be emptied.


Chris looking for that mouse.

Justin came to the rescue with the door.

The door.
Some do all the work, while others like to pose.

A quiet moment.
"Photo..."
A lot of praying had to be done to get that floor in line with the level.



A lot of dancing was necessary as well as all that prayer.

The Floor and what a beautiful result. Congratulations everyone...

Liz has promised...
