From small garden patch as a child to once cropping 45 acres back to a garden patch these are my gardening exploits.

26th December 2023. What a season. Growing crazy hard to beat the the blight and insects. I did a bit of damage with a to strong copper spray concoction. The yellow effect on some of my crops is actually the camera, cant figure why.

Do Brussels Sprouts Taste Better Now? Yes—Here’s Why 09/05/2023

Hated them as a kid and planted some for the first time this autumn. I must have known something..

Do Brussels Sprouts Taste Better Now? Yes—Here’s Why It’s partly thanks to the popularity of roasted Brussels sprouts over boiled ones—but that’s not the whole story.

For anyone interested in raised gardens. I make these as required.

With enough room to get a mower in between these boxes maximize growing space.

Thank goodness for waterproof slug baits. Even during the heavy rain in the past few days these baits still work. This giant 10cm slug was about to destroy my recently planted lettuces last night and got foiled..

Giant garlic. This guy was growing randomly away from my main crop and was in the way of my chillies so I decided to pull him early. A remnant seed from last years crop I had to dig 300 mm down to get him. Giant garlic is much milder than standard garlic but still has that great taste. I grow about 50 plants a year, enough to eat and enough for seed.
