Our backyard garden was created twenty odd years ago, long before I knew anything about gardening or permaculture. I planted too many trees, and although some of them were fruit trees, they just adversely effected the garden. It was a lovely design with paths bordered by bricks and key hole beds. A great looking zone 1.<br />
<br />
But it's redesign was long overdue. It was on the southern side of the garden and surrounded by trees. The sun just couldn't get a look in during winter and in summer the tress sucked the water out of the soil leaving the poor vegies dry. I just couldn't keep the water up to them.<br />
<br />
So today the backyard food forest began. First we needed to get rid of some large unproductive shrubs and dig up all the bricks. They'll be used elsewhere on the farm.Our intern diligently removed the bricks and stacked them. It took us most of the day to chop down the shrubs and dig out the roots.<br />
<br />
I was truly amazed at the quality of the soil. When I planted 20 years ago the backyard was very heavy clay but now it's a lovely friable soil. I'm sure the fruit tress we have in mind will love the rich soil. This area was also waterlogged during heavy rain but it now has very good drainage. The rest of the farm is very wet and we are sloshing around in our gum boots but here it's not too bad.<br />
<br />
I unearthed some Elders so I've potted them up to plant around the various food forests we have on the farm.<br />
<br />
Now that we've got the area opened up we can do a little design for the area. Our intern will be included in helping us with the design as part of her scheduled learning.We have some stone fruit on order and to support them we'll plant some nitrogen fixers. There will be some herbs for understory, some groundcovers including nasturtiums and pepinos and once established we'll look to add some climbers.<br />
<br />
We'll let the chickens in to clean up a little. They'll be housed in the chicken run at the bottom of the garden and will have access to the forest at times during the year.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-21600242366312892002017-06-12T11:28:00.002+10:002017-06-12T11:28:52.740+10:00Back to Back Wool ChallengePost cards from the Back to Back Wool Challenge of 2017 at Tocal Homestead<br />

The Back to Back wool Challenge has been on my to do list for years but something always comes up and I miss it. But this year I put a big red cross on the date and I finally got there. I wasn't disappointed.<br />
Basically, for those of you don't know what the challenge is all about, a sheep is shorn, the fleece is spun and the yarn knitted into a jumper right in front of you and against the clock. This jumper that the shearer is wearing is the end product and took the ladies just a little of 6 hours to complete. The pace is frantic! As you can see, at one point, moments before the end, there is one lady still knitting while two others a sewing up.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-36930590128167801532017-06-06T17:43:00.000+10:002017-06-06T17:43:16.129+10:00<br />

What a lovely day here on the farm with 18 adults and 30 little ones visiting. I feel like the pied piper as I wander around with a line of children behind me. And every now and then I feel a little hand holding mine as we move on from one animal to the next. Feeding, patting and holding various members of our farm menagerie. I call these our mums and bubs tours but of course we get dads and grandparents as well as mums bringing their littlies out to see the farm animals. I try to keep it real. I don't want it to become a petting zoo. I really want the children to see farm animals being treated with respect and being allowed to express their natural behaviours.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-47743432764862932892017-06-05T18:08:00.001+10:002017-06-05T18:08:25.967+10:00World Biodynamic Farming Day.<br />

The idea was borne out of World Eurythmy Day last year with the idea that a powerful event could be established if BD farmers around the world were to do a sequential spray of Horn Manure (BD 500) followed by Horn Silica (BD 501) at the same time (local time)<br />
Much consultation settled on the date suggested by Brian Keats of Whitsun in commemoration of the weekend the Agriculture Lectures were delivered by Rudolf Steiner. These lectures lead to the development of Biodynamic Agriculture as we know it today. <br />

The event at Purple Pear Farm started around two in the afternoon with a piece of Eurythmy - inviting a spiritual element to the practical activities for the event.<br />

This was followed by several methods of stirring the Horn Manure preparation 9BD 500) - in buckets and coppers and flow forms with a great mixture of conversation and reverence for the action in progress.<br />

We picked up 40 rescued ex factory farm hens. They made them selves right at home scratching and having a dust bath, and two eggs laid in minutes of leaving their boxes and cages.<br />
Quite sad to see the state they're in and their cut beaks, but I'm sure they'll be happy here. <br />

It was compost making day. we use tomato stakes to make our heap, adding more as the heap gets higher and taking them away to make a new heap as the heap breaks down and shrinks.<br />
We make an indentation at the bottom to hold excess water as we make the heap.<br />

And of course feeding the people who visit the farm is a high priority. Never quite sure who will be here so a large pot of soup and home made bread is perfect for filling up interns and those on work experience and volunteers as well as family. Seven today for lunch and two who were happy with just a cuppa.<br />

On Thursdays I drop some CSA boxes off in Newcastle, then spend the morning with my daughter Meg and her son Arlo. Mostly we walk over to her local Community Garden and do some work there. Meg grows as much food as she can in her small suburban garden but has decided to supplement it with food from the community garden.<br />
<br />
This garden already had some fruit trees but they were in need of a little attention so we decided to slowly but surely turn the area into a food forest. Each Thursday we do a little bit more, starting first with a cuppa!! <br />
<br />
There is quite a lot of organic matter dropped off by a gardening service which is piled up and smelly. We began to move it about to make compost heaps and then started using it as part of sheet mulching.<br />
First we lay down a good many sheets of wet newspaper and cover it with the semi decomposed organic matter. As Bill Mollison used to say "turning bad news into good news." After a few weeks we are able to start to plant into this to build up a guild ( an harmonious interaction of elements) around each of the fruit trees.<br />
<br />
And of course Arlo is our biggest helper. <br />

arrived at Purple Pear at the very end of winter, the day before the start of spring,
ready to get my hands dirty and soak up any info I could get my hands on.
Earlier in the year I had spent 3 months in the Philippines at a Permaculture
Field School and had completed my PDC and an internship. I came back to Sydney
completely inspired, happy, energized and believing more than ever before that
Permaculture was the answer to so many of my questions and concerns. I returned
to my old life in Sydney, working in an office, living in a warehouse, and
could not get over the feeling of dissatisfaction and a deep yearning to be
surrounded by and connected to the natural world once more. I contacted Purple
Pear about their internship, told them a bit about myself and Mark replied
saying there was a spot for me if I wanted it. I was beside myself – an escape
plan and a return to my learning! I quit my job the next day, packed my bags a
couple of weeks later and off I went. </span></span></span></div>

the other Spring Intern, asked me the other day if my expectations had been met
during my time here and I replied by saying that I didn’t really have any
expectations so I guess, yes, my experience had been everything I had imagined,
but probably so much more. I came here with the simple intention to learn as
much as I could from 2 marvelous people, driving change in this part of the
world – and that intention was definitely realized. Kate and Mark are
beautiful, generous people and the internship is a testament to their kind
consideration for all things. Everything is considered and planned but
effortlessly so, that we mostly didn’t even notice the planning, everything was
a considered lesson, and everything ran smoothly. I would go as far to say as
these 10 weeks has been one of the most jam packed learning experiences of my
life, and it hasn’t been exhausting one bit!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">The
first time I walked into their mandala garden I was struck by the amount of
growth, I couldn’t quite figure out what everything was by looking at it from
the outside, you had to stick your head in each garden for that. It was a
natural jungle of food, the sound of buzzing bees humming in your ears as they
devoured the brassica flowers from the broccoli that Kate and Mark had let go
to seed for bee fodder. I remember my heart skipping a beat when they said that
(the first of many heart skips) – everything of course makes perfect sense and
is to provide closed loops in a natural ecosystem, PERMACULTURE! From there we
hit the ground running and quickly found out that spring is a very busy time of
year. I don’t think I have ever been so confronted with the gloriousness and
abundance of Spring, it is quite a different experience in the city where you
do not see the change of the seasons so much; see flowers burst into life and
your vegetables grow before your very eyes – it is absolute magic, it is the
only word I can think to describe it.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">We
have really learnt what it means to grow for 20 families in the busiest season
of the year which involves lots of bed prep, seed raising, planting out,
feeding, weeding and the best bit – harvesting. We prepped beds for Rhubarb,
potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkin, turmeric and planted all of
that plus lots of bok choi, tatsoi, lettuce, fennel, cosmos, beetroot, spring
onion, carrots, radish, beans, eggplant, chilli, and took care of mizuna, broccoli,
cauliflower, spring onion, leeks, silver beet, rainbow chard, parsley,
coriander, garlic, onion, cabbage in the beds prepared for us by the chooks. I
have to say, I am seriously taken by the chicken dome system that they use
here, I have developed a serious affection for chooks who do so much work for
us and ask for little in return, why everyone doesn’t use them to grow food I
do not know! They are put on a bed once everything in it has finished for the
season, they gobble up everything that is left - clearing the bed, scratch up
the soil - aerating it for us, they eat all the pests, fertilize by pooing all
over the place, provide eggs, and are wonderful little animals to watch and
pat. They are the real gardeners in this amazing system, all we need to do
afterwards is dig a small hole, throw some compost in and put in a seedling –
magic. </span></span></span><br />

compost was my next magic revelation – we joined in on the composting workshop
held here in September, Mark took us through the alchemy of building a compost
pile in the most beautiful way. We learnt the theory behind of it and then 5 of
us went into the garden and proceeded to layer various organic materials and
sprinkle what Mark calls ‘condiments’, things like crushed egg shells, pony
hair and basalt, we built the walls with thin lengths of wood stacked on top of
each other to make a hexagon shaped frame. The real alchemy came when we added
the BioDynamic preperations; Purple Pear are the centre for Hunter Biodynamics
and Mark shared a plethora of knowledge about the harnessing of the energy of
the cosmos – one of my favourite parts of my time here was listening to Mark
wax lyrical about Biodynamics. We each took a corner and a different
preparation, stuck a stake in the compost pile we had just made and pushed in
the small ball of preparation. Then valerian was sprinkled over the pile,
explained as a ‘blanket’, to put the compost “to bed” – heart skip number 236. </span></span></span><br />

magic was experienced when learning about biodynamics. The first time Mark
opened the wonderful big wooden chest to uncover another chest inside it full
of preparations I felt like I was being shown something very special, a kind of
treasure; potions in a wizards box, but of course they are like the compost, an
example of nature’s magic not Man’s at all. We were lucky to be here while the
cow horns full of 500 were pulled up as well as a ceramic container of 503 and
to watch 501 being painstakingly ground down and filled in horns ready to be
buried in the ground. Cow Manure will never be quite the same in my mind; it is
a precious commodity full of everything you need to grow amazing food. I love
that Biodynamics encompasses a philosophy on growing, it is not just a
practice, it is a way of thinking, of being, of understanding. Very early on I
asked Mark if he saw a yield increase since using Biodynamic preparations to
which he responded in his cool, calm way, something along the lines of I feel
that it works and I like the idea of it and the ideas that go along with it so
that is enough for me (I’m seriously adlibbing here, Mark is much more eloquent
than I!) </span></span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

and Mark are serious dooers, Kyla and I have done so much in our time here but
each daily achievement of ours are 10 for Kate and Mark – they are the
definition of motivation, energy and passion and it kept us going every day. I
could list the things I did or learnt in my time here but I feel like it
wouldn’t do the learning justice as with each newly learnt skill came a host of
personal learnings, sometimes spiritual, sometimes cosmos related and often an
education on the people around you and the person you aspire to become. But I
can say that Kyla and I put up a fence (which we were very proud of), wrangled
20 chooks in a day (but left Mark to do the poor Rooster), made bread and
cheese (my 2 favourite things in the world), built a chook dome, learnt about
the wonders of Steiner, learnt how to pot up, plant out and take care of
growing food, we learnt patience, we learnt when to be quiet and when to speak
up, we learnt about how wonderful it is to share 3 meals a day with others (and
to always have morning tea), and that you are only limited by your imagination
(which should be endless). We saw the arrival of 3 geese, 30 chooks, 2 calves,
1 pony and the departure of very many beautiful veg boxes and happy little
children each week. We laughed each day, tried to work as hard as we could, had
challenging conversations, felt the sun on our face and the soil between our
fingers and loved every minute of it.</span></span></span><br />

is by doing that we learn, we can sit in a classroom for years and learn about
growing food or how an ecosystem works but it is not until you are in it, until
you feel it and breathe it and get it all under your nails that you can truly
understand, and that is what we have has the privilege of doing here for 10
weeks, as well as be welcomed into a truly beautiful family and observed a life
worth living, a life that turns the wheels of change. Kate and Mark have
created something truly remarkable at Purple Pear, their intention is not to
make bucket loads of money, it is not to profess that they know everything, it
is not to preach their way of doing to others, it is to teach where learning is
wanted and needed, it is to live by their ethics and tread as lightly as
possible considering each action they make, it is to provide glorious food that
is produced as naturally as possible, it is to encourage biodiversity and
closed loop systems, in my mind what they are doing is keeping the dream alive
– the dream that has been very alive only in the depths of my mind until now. Start
where you are, use what you have; I have learnt that this is what you need to
do to make the changes you desire in your life, Kate and Mark have inspired
that in me and as Kate would say “Just STOP IT!”, stop doing all the things in
life that do not make any sense, that serve only you, that are not in line with
your professed ethics, that harm the earth, so STOP IT and DO IT I will, with
the sights and sounds of Purple Pear in my heart and mind.</span></span></span><br />

I think that the guinea pigs were the high light of the farm visit today. I just could not drag them away. I usually leave the guinea pigs til last, when the children are a little tired from their farm wanderings and looking for a quieter activity. It soon became obvious that they just couldn't wait any longer to hold these dear little animals in their laps. So into the back of the ute they went, where children and guinea pigs are kept safe.<br />

Each child potted up a nasturtium seed into one of these skin care pots.<br />
This skin care company uses pots from recycled plastic. Their philosophy is to take back these pots and upcycle them in some way. Which basically means they have to find someone who can find a use for them. As they are already made from recycled plastic the plastic can't be recycled again and so another use must be found for pots. They have asked us can we make use of them and so we use them as plant pots. Now I'm not advocating the use of single use plastic even though it has been recycled. I'm very careful about what I buy and wouldn't buy this product because of the packaging. Really I wish they'd use glass or wash these pots out and reuse them themselves. I don't really want to be responsible for other peoples waste, but now that I've got them I'm looking for ways to to use them that fits our ethics. So far that's as plant pots but I'm in two minds to take any more from them. What do you think?purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-26665265312003382002016-05-06T11:33:00.001+10:002016-05-06T11:33:56.789+10:00Eating SeasonallyEating seasonally includes eggs. Our hens have all stopped laying while they moult. We have heritage breeds at the moment. They do what they need to do to stay healthy.That means taking a break from laying eggs. Just like us hens are born with their allotted number of eggs. Once they're laid there is no more. Those hens bred for the egg laying industries don't stop laying until they have laid their allotted eggs which is why the industry pack them off at around 18 months of age.<br />
<br />
During the spring and summer we enjoy an abundance of eggs and it gives us a diverse array of opportunities when it comes to cooking and baking. But now the eggs are few and far between and we need to adjust our menus.<br />
<br />
Here's a recipe for an egg free date loaf that we will enjoy over the coming months.<br />
<br />
Date and Walnut Loaf ( from an old book Quick and Easy Vegetarian)<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
<br />
1 cup chopped dates<br />
1 cup boiling water<br />
2 tablespoons golden syrup ( I use honey)<br />
1/2 cup brown sugar<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla essence (I use extract)<br />
2 cups wholemeal flour<br />
1/2 cup chopped walnuts<br />
<br />
<br />
Place dates in bowl and add boiling water.Mix in honey (or golden syrup) brown sugar, baking soda, and vanilla. Sprinkle in the wholemeal flour and add walnuts. Mix until combined. Place mixture in a greased loaf tin and bake at 180degrees for 45 mins or until loaf springs back when lightly touched. Leave in tin for 10 mins before turning onto a cake rack to cool.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-27443954530849004592016-03-17T20:16:00.003+11:002016-03-17T20:17:27.537+11:00Farm TourOn Tuesday some "earthy coasties " took a tour of our Farm to learn what they could about growing food for their local community.<br />

Showing how we do it here on the farm. Everyone does it differently and this is how it works for us. Seedlings germinated into punnets, potted up into small pots and put out into a hardening off area prior to planting out.<br />

Discussing the bed set aside for the attraction of beneficials. This is our pest control;.<br />
<br />
Ten years ago we decided to set ourselves up as a model to showcase our small market garden To show people how to live sustainably, to grow food and sell the excess or like us start a CSA ( Community Supported Agriculture). We would like to see more market gardens started in and around towns and cities to feed the local community.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-9789345975215289022016-02-08T12:07:00.000+11:002016-02-08T12:07:03.662+11:00I See Red, I See Red, I See Red...As Mark and I wandered around the farm taking photos for our Holistic Management homework, I caught sight of a splash of red in the distance. It caught my eye because of it's richness in a place usually devoid of such colour. This is the first time our little Firewheel tree has flowered.<br />
<br />
It inspired me to grab my daughter and her camera. As we came back from taking a photo of the these beautiful flowers we were struck by the glimpses of red that could be seen here and there as we walked back up the drive.<br />
<br />
So what follows are snapshots of red around the farm. Hope you enjoy!...<br />

<br />
When ever people ask how the farm is going, my answer always depends on the weather. If it's been dry I will invariably say that we could do with a little rain. If it's been raining the question is always followed by "have you had enough rain yet?", and my usual answer is that we can't have too much rain.<br />
<br />
Weeeell after over 230mls of rain I may have to revise my answer, because, even though all the ponds, dams and tanks are thankfully full, the garden is somewhat waterlogged. This along with the following days of humidity has meant we now have fungal problems and root rot.<br />
<br />
The tomatoes that we planted really deep to develop good root growth are now succumbing to root rot and in places we can see a little powdery mildew.<br />
<br />
Conventionally this would be treated with a fungicide but we like to strengthen the plant instead. We do this firstly by building the soil so that the plant has the nutrients needed to make itself strong enough so that it doesn't succumb to pests and disease. But just like with people, in times of stress plants often need a little something to boost their immunity.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-fa0eomBBj8HHitxF7VVS3MGq7sFLxBHVOqZ5b-DfkX6yk8Y2oKRH5054Cdz7mWyOdBAzDVY34y-lmT-R8I7uTmWhkMvVtM4G23IeyHJlpssGm6CN4DwQDYyVhzkvnASXyEGpIk8oUOW/s1600/P1020790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-fa0eomBBj8HHitxF7VVS3MGq7sFLxBHVOqZ5b-DfkX6yk8Y2oKRH5054Cdz7mWyOdBAzDVY34y-lmT-R8I7uTmWhkMvVtM4G23IeyHJlpssGm6CN4DwQDYyVhzkvnASXyEGpIk8oUOW/s640/P1020790.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
In this case the stress placed on the plants from the excess moisture and humid conditions can be counteracted by the use of a Biodynamic preparation called BD 508 or Equisetum.The silica forces in the horse tail (Equisetum arvence)
strengthen the plant’s ability to cope with conditions conducive to
fungal attack. In NSW Equisetum arvence is listed as a noxious weed, so we use Casuarina instead. It is boiled up, cooled and sprayed out. We also added some seaweed to the mix as a tonic.<br />
<br />
And when I bent down to get a photo of Mark spraying I noticed some red peeking through. Can you see it? This lot were hiding in close to the stake....<br />

<br />If you'd like to know more about Biodynamics, we have some information on our website under Farm Practices (there's a link on the side bar.) and we also run courses on Biodynamics here on the farm. <br />
<br />
The Hunter Biodynamic Group made it's headquarters here on the farm late last year. Mark works in the groups herb garden, which is part of our on farm community allotments, on Wednesdays and welcomes anyone with an interest in Biodynamics to join him. Contact me through the comments for more details.<br />

After 230mls of rain in just a couple of days the farm is looking lush and green, although a little soggy. We are hoping that as the water recedes we will have come out of it okay. The farm is on quite low lying land. The land to the south of us is swampy. We have worked to build our soil up to sit above the water line but some parts especially on the southern side can be quite slow for the water to drain away. Last summer we lost a lot of tomatoes and capsicum due to this. we've got our fingers crossed that it won't be as bad this year.<br />
<br />
The passion fruit vines have loved the extra water and are producing well. I grew these plants from seeds that I'd saved.<br />
<br />
A couple of shots of two of the mandalas, one showing seedlings still in their pots where Mark was beaten by the heavy rain in the middle of planting out a bed. We'll need to let the garden dry out a bit to complete the job. All the paths in the garden were under water so you can see how well they've drained over night.<br />
<br />
One of the pumpkin patches looking good and loving the extra water.<br />
<br />
Both the irrigation ponds are full and overflowing.. good news for us if the weather heats up. The bees on the southern sides of the ponds allows for them to fly out towards the sun each morning and ensures that no one walks in their flight path. You can't see it in this photo but the bees were very active, like us enjoying the break in the rain.<br />
<br />
We are gearing up to the start of our hectic program in February commencing with a preserving the harvest workshop. Prime preserving time just now with the abundance of summer. Are you coping with the amount of produce coming from your garden or do you need some help learning how to preserve? Come and join us on 6th February. Bookings essential and can be made through the website. <br />

<br />
I don't usually like to eat soup during summer. It's something that I long for as the long hot summer draws to a close. But yesterday was cold and wet and as we have an abundance of zucchini I decided it was just right for dinner last night.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #20124d;">And look who we rescued from the rain last night. The geese had wandered a little too far yesterday and this little one couldn't keep up so Mark picked her up and brought her inside. She was very chirpy this morning full of cheek so I put her back out with the others. I've kept them locked up in a smaller paddock today so they can't take her too far.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"> Rain is still falling and has delayed the harvest for today's CSA but it will get delivered, just a little later than usual.</span><br />

Woohoo. I've found it again I think. My enthusiasm, that is.<br />
<br />
I've been feeling a little out of sorts for the last couple of weeks. Needed a break like everyone else, I suppose. So I read and read and read some more. But every time I tried to get interested in something else I just felt really flat. I did my most basic jobs around the house and farm. Fed the animals, harvested the vegies, delivered the CSA boxes etc, etc . But that was it.<br />
<br />
I went to do some sewing the other day and forced myself to sit and finish a few things and then the sewing machine came to a stop. I hadn't oiled it, so silly of me really cos I haven't used it for a while. Now it needs to go for repairs. And that put an end to that attempt at doing something and it left me flatter than before.<br />
<br />
This is very unusual for me as I have so many projects on the go that I'm usually itching to get at. Maybe I need that frenzied activity to motivate me to get things done. Anyway, last night I thought I've just got to do something or I'm going to go mad. There's only so much a person can take during cricket season. So I pulled out a project that was going nowhere. You know the sort of thing I mean. The one I started with high hopes and got it nearly finished and realised it's not really going to fit and wasn't really what I'd hoped for, for that beautiful yarn that I'd lovingly spun with my own two hands. So I unraveled the whole thing and searched and searched for something I'd like and came back to the pattern that I'd tagged for myself months ago...the Barn Sweater by Carrie Bostick Hoge<br />
<br />

<br />
And so now it's raining heavily. 40mls over night and still falling. Mark's in the kitchen baking bread biscuits and goodness knows what else and when I get finished here I'm back to knitting.<br />
<br />
Happy happy me!!<br />
<br />
p.s.Please excuse the quality of the photo. There seems to be marks on the lens.

<br />
Our mandala garden. Seven circles times seven which are cultivated by chickens housed in domes.<br />
Once the chicken domes have been moved onto the next bed the vacant bed is heavily planted out with a combination of fast and slow growing seedlings.<br />
<br />
While the slow growing larger plants are spreading out and taking up more room the fast growing plants have finished growing and been removed. In the bed below lettuce and tatsoi has been harvested leaving room for the beans and rockmelon to fill the space.<br />
<br />

The compost heaps can be found scattered throughout the garden providing us with compost close by when we require it to plant out our seedlings. We make hot compost in these bins surrounded by tomato stakes which we got through LETS from a local olive grower. The compost is made all in one day and reaches up to our shoulders. As it reduces in size as the composting process continues, we dismantle the structure which can be used elsewhere as we make the next heap.<br />

Corn and zucchini grow well together. We have, in the past, grown beans with these two as in the American Indian's three sisters but that requires us standing on the bed to harvest the beans so we have decided not to do it this year.<br />

We have been very lucky with the amount of rain we've had this year since spring and everything is looking quite lush. We are having a bit of a break at the moment. There's a little bit of cricket watching (Mark) and some light reading (me) going on at the moment but everyday has to include some gardening to keep on top of things. There's always weeding to be done, insect control.. a lot of 28 spot lady beetles at the moment, and of course harvesting vegies, morning and night. We're picking beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchinis at least once a day.<br />
<br />
And once things dry out a little I think there will be some mowing to be done.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-34805216464837810162015-12-16T17:52:00.000+11:002015-12-16T17:52:35.304+11:00What Will We Cook This Week?One of the things I love about growing our own food is the ever changing weekly menu. Sure there are old favourites that reappear each week but they invariably have a twist due to the ever changing produce that comes our of the garden. Another thing I love is that the produce is produced Biodynamically and so very full of vitality.<br />
<br />
It makes so much sense to me to write a up a weekly plan to make sure I use this produce to make the most of this vitality and also ensure nothing goes to waste.<br />

Mark has worked hard to get the oven completed so that we can host the LETS (Local Energy Trading System) Christmas party on Sunday night. We will be having pizza and pasta. So quite a few meals this week will be cooked in the pizza oven to make sure that it's up to scratch .<br />

Our lovely WWOOFer Julia has been making weed salads from the garden. Weeds included are fat hen, farmer's friends, purslane, plantain and dandelion, all very abundant at this time of year. Wonderful to think that there is always something to eat from the garden.<br />

They are your typical foodie types and can manage to use up every morsel of produce we put in their box. They look in their box every week and think of what they can make for the week that best uses the produce and gives them a variety of meals throughout the week. It's about planning the weekly meals based on what's in the box.<br />
<br />
Here's my weekly meal plan based on this week's box.....<br />

<br />
Last night was our farm community weekly shared meal. I made this rice and vegie pie. Another member made a garden salad and another made a couscous salad. This served 6 adults with most vegetable ingredients sourced from individual CSA boxes.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>Rice and Vegetable Pie</u> <br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
<br />
2 cups cooked brown rice (sometimes I use leftover rice ) cooked in stock<br />
2 cups grated or finely chopped seasonal vegies. I always include mushrooms.<br />
1 onion<br />
Chopped parsley<br />
4 eggs<br />
1 cup grated cheese<br />
2 tsp. curry powder<br />
1 tsp. herbs of your choice.<br />
<br />
<u>Method</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Place in pie dish and top with extra cheese if you like. Bake in moderate oven for 45 mins. or until firm.<br />
<br />
Can be served hot or cold. Great to take on picnics and such.<br />
<br />
I used one of the zucchinis, tatsoi, eggs and herbs from the box plus carrot, onion and mushrooms from the fridge.<br />
<br />
The other meals on my plan will use the remaining vegies from the box spread out over the week so nothing goes to waste.purplepearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-86696969382348429872015-12-08T13:49:00.000+11:002015-12-08T13:49:55.904+11:00Zucchini Cake<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At this time of year it can be a challenge to use all the produce in the CSA box, with such an abundance ofsummer vegies. At the moment the boxes are recieving 3 or more zucchini each and what do you do with them all?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We eat as many as we can in as many ways as we can and at the moment it's probably three times a day. But for us there is always an excess even with the amount going into boxes for our subscribers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We preserve them in mustard pickles which gives us a lovely condiment all year round.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And we make Zucchini chocolate cake which can be frozen thus preserving our zucchinis in a different way or eaten there and then....</div>

<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
<br />
1/2cup butter<br />
1 1/2 cups sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 tsp. vanilla<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
4 Tblsp. cocoa<br />
2 1/2 cups SR flour<br />
1 tsp. bicarb<br />
1/2 tsp. cinnamon<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
2 cups shredded zucchini<br />
<br />
<u>Method</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Cream butter and sugar<br />
Beat in eggs<br />
Add milk and vanilla and sifted dry ingredients<br />
Stir in zucchini<br />
Grease and flour a 23cm x 30cm tin ( I used a smaller ropund tin and a ring tin giving me two cakes. I found the lareger tin didn't cook evenly as it's such a moist cake).<br />
<br />
Bake at 160 deg. C for 40 - 45 mins.<br />

Good spring rains have meant that we are off to a flying start. We had a little scare a few weeks back with a hail storm that shredded the newly planted summer crops. But I was quick to give all the plants a tonic of seaweed which I believe gave them just the pick me up they needed after such a shock.<br />

The lemon balm and lemon verbena make a beautiful drink. Leave a few leaves of each to steep in boiling water. Lovely to drink either hot or cold.<br />

It's wonderful to be back here in this space after such a long time. Our internet access was so poor for so long that I found the whole thing just too frustrating.

Please come along if you can. These local markets are so important for the local economy and we need local people to come along and support them. There's lovely coffee and things to eat. Come sit under the large tree and listen to some local Musos play their music. A great morning out.</div>

Do you have a similar scene of abundance at your place....pumpkins everywhere?<br />

We grew Queensland Blues, Golden nuggets from a pumpkin gifted to me from <a href="http://vintagerose-at-plumthorpe.blogspot.com.au/">Melissa</a>, and Hubbards squash grown locally here in the Hunter. Our area has previously been renowned for its pumpkin growing. Our local football team is called, and has always been called The Pumpkin Pickers. But the area doesn't grow pumpkins in the volume it once did. There has been a little bit of a resurgence when the local hay grower was approached to grow food again and he has set aside a small portion of his land for food, but really it's a pittance compared to the food that was once grown in this area. What a shame for a city that grew food for Sydney.We have great potential for once again growing large scale produce.<br />
<br />
But anyway, here on our little farm we grew enough pumpkins for us and our CSA members to last for a while, at least until we all get sick of eating pumpkins, which brings me to asking you for a favour. Do you have a favourite pumpkin recipe apart from the usual, like soup, rissoto, scones,or pie that you would share with me, to pass onto my subscribers. If so maybe you could email me the recipe or attach a link to it in the comments. It would be very much appreciated. One of the biggest reasons for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) subscriber not to renew their subscription is because they can't handle the quantity of seasonal produce. For this reason I like to help them out with recipe ideas.<br />

The tour attracts different people for different reasons. Some parents just want an outing , a mid week entertainment for their kids. Others come along as a social outing with a group of friends.We get mums and dads and sometimes grandparents who bring the children along. And then there are those parents who are really keen to see what goes on here at our permaculture property. But whatever the reason the children have a lot of fun interacting with the animals and playing on the ''tractor'', or just running around...<br />

The guinea pigs are a great attraction. A little while ago we replaced the back of the ute with a tray top and kept the old ute back as a place for the children to connect with the guinea pigs. It certainly helps me as I no longer have to run around the paddock trying to catch those guinea pigs which have escaped from little hands. The children love the guinea pigs and will sit for quite a long time with them in their lap.<br />

I bought him a book and I made him some felt food, fried eggs and pancakes to play with when he's pretending to cook. I managed to pick up a little apron from a LETS trading day and found some utensils from our camping things that we didn't want anymore. He loved his felt food and made us pancakes and eggs again and again. (Sorry there are no photos as I couldn't find the camera).<br />
<br />
A little later his dad came home from work and I stayed to watch Evan get his present from his family. It came in a lovely red parcel, which he opened very carefully, with a look of awe and wonder. Inside he found a little Dr's kit. A stethoscope, tweezers, scissors etc, very similar to the one I gave his mother when she was a little girl. After checking everyone with the stethoscope, he packed up his doctors bag and went off down the hall to ''work''.<br />
<br />
This morning I got a text message from daughter which read....<br />
<br />
Evan: "I don't want poppy to give me any presents because I've already got one and two and that's lots of them and that's<br />
enough"<br />
<br />

Out of the mouth of babes!!!!</div>

As a child, Mark remembers that his father would give this answer when asked if he would like a second helping at meal times. "I've had an eloquent sufficiency and anything more would be superfluous"'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know that this isn't quite the quote as it was first spoken, but it is how Mark remembers hearing it as a very small child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do we even know when we have had enough? My three year old grandchild does. It would be lovely to live in a culture of ''Sufficiency'' , do you agree?</div>

They've been given two new ''houses''... to give them shelter during the heat. These now also have shade cloth attached. this and the other one are at the back of our mandala garden on the south side of our irrigation ponds. This allows for their flight path to be uninterrupted by people working by.<br />

During spring we had four swarms which Mark was able to catch and rehome. This one landed in our mulberry tree, and Mark cut the branch they were attached to and they dropped into the hive.<br />
