End of summer

Dear Eco Warriors bloggers,

For the last three months we have been busy watering, harvesting and eating the fantastic vegetables from our garden, including silver beat, lettuce, tomatoes, spring onions, parsnip, basil, cauliflower, cabbage, chili, zucchini, squash, etc.

It is now time to start planting some winter produce, and I thought it was time to share a couple of stories and pictures with you.

One very positive one is that due to the success of the garden, we decided to install 4 more garden beds to be used by a Young Women's Group who are based at Roxburgh Park.

Since we were very happy with the garden beds we installed in the first place, we contacted the same company, Kiwi Collars, to order some more. A few emails down the track they let us know that they were impressed by the use we had made of their product, and they decided to "sponsor" our garden by heavily discounting the new garden beds we ordered.

Here is a picture of our dedicated and lovely volunteers Heidi and Kylie, with some produce that was harvested today.
