Interesting video - story of stuff

Dear Eco Warrior bloggers,

After a long absence (a mixture of laziness and being quite busy really), I have decided to start breathing some life into this blog. We will do it slowly so I won't make any promises that we can't keep.

The picture that you see is the first stage of our community garden project, which is not the topic of this post, however you really can't have a blog article without a picture...




Marcia, one of our star volunteers, sent me the link to an interesting website and we thought it would be great to put it up and see what you think.
The Story of Stuff is a website that critically explores our production and consumption patterns. They have a very engaging 20 minute video, so what are you waiting for? Watch it and remember, comments are more than welcome!

See you soon!

The summer crops are coming to the end of their time. The old cos lettuces have become bitter and gone to seed, remaining tomatoes & chillies are struggling to ripen.

With every death comes new life. Although the lettuces are no longer edible, the seed is ripe and ready to be sown. Most winter crops are healthy seedlings and ready to be planted.

The first of these to have the privilege is quite a few different lettuce varieties, a pair of cauliflower, broccoli & cabbages and a few beetroot & celery.

There is of course more to come :)

On list of planned additions is some onion & chard (silver beet) varieties as well old winter favourites like peas and beans.

Where will they all fit? Not in the current patch. Whilst I have some ideas, I am open to still open to suggestions and help with where to place them and perhaps even add things to the garden, especially stuff not found in bunnings :)

People grow & evolve, and so should their garden!
