Creating a Sustainable Sunshine Coast - Nambour to Mooloolah

It's January 19 and we've already had 78.5mm of rain so far this month and the garden is loving it. On my walk through the garden this morning on my way down to let the Australorp chooks out, there were beautiful spider webs throughout the garden (beneficial predators - taking care of pests for me) and the webs were covered in tiny rain drops - they looked like dainty necklaces suspended in the air.

Bought some locally grown organic seedlings yesterday (available at Yandina Feed Barn and Billaboodah at Cooroy) - zucchinis, parsley, lettuce and basil to plant out in the garden. Set up a new vegie garden in the chook run the other day - corn, sweet potato, zucchinis and sweet peas.

The garden's full of tiny green frogs at the moment, they're everywhere and make a racket at night!

We have lots of green manure crops growing at the moment getting beds ready for the late summer/early autumn plantings for our winter crops - we plan to grow broccoli, cabbage, caulis, spinach, silverbeet, beetroot, zucchinis, .... and of course the pumpkins are well underway so it will be 101 recipes using pumpkin again this year.
