My Garden

I went a bit 'snap happy' yesterday with my camera and this compilation is the result! We have had a very wet start to summer this year, and as a result everything is green and lush all be it a bit delayed compared to last year. Our Feijoa trees are loaded with flowers - if you haven't tried the fruit its unlike anything else! Artichokes produce the most stunning flowers (I am not keen on eating the centres, or hearts) but grow the plants because of the structural elements they add to a garden. That, and the bees just love them....

The Mountain Peppers are covered in berries which we collect, dry and store for use in casseroles, stews, or anything that requires a kick of hot peppery flavour. I have a number of fig trees which thrive on neglect and produce a bountiful crop each year regardless of the lack of attention they receive. Fresh from the tree is always best.....

Our corn crop failed to germinate the first time I planted out seed as we had some late frosts; the second planting faired much better and we are anticipating lots of juicy corn cobs in late summer....

Organic Tasmanian Garlic is now available!

This delicious certified garlic is easy to grow - just separate the bulbs into individual cloves before planting, or eat it fresh now! Drizzle whole bulbs in olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and ground pepper and roast for an hour or so - serve with any roast meat or enjoy the soft, sweet cloves squeezed onto thickly cut bread slices....

What a busy month we have had!

I haven't had time to update the blog lately (excuses, excuses!) but we have had quite a number of shows, events, festivals and markets to attend recently.. Our winter break ended with a bang when we threw ourselves into spring sales by attending the Tulip Festival in beautiful Wynyard. The tulips were a sight to see - colour everywhere. Next was the Deviot Gourmet Market during which we meet all our local customers on the bank of the glorious Tamar River. Followed by our attendance at the Tasmanian Craft fair - Specialist Plant Nursery section. This great annual event runs over the November long weekend and show cases over a dozen plant specialists including Bonnie Banks Iris's, Fushia Fantasy, Misty Downs Nursery, Cloverlea and Topiary Nursery, Fernmania, Gatenby's Nursery, Jubilee Nursery, Tazwild Plants, Clematis Cottage and Woodbridge Nursery....oh, and of course Four Seasons Herbs :)

It didn't end there; November was just as busy as we exhibited all weekend at Gardenfest in the beautiful grounds of Entally House with over 30 other nursery and garden specialists. Last weekend we attended Clarence Point Gourmet market on the banks of the Tamar River and watched sail boats casually drift by as we chatted with locals and tourists alike. This weekend we are going to try a new market called the Lilydale Village Market - apparently their wood fired pizzas are to die for ..... So, I hope this list of events excuses me from being so slack about updating my blog...I will try harder next time...
