Clearing space for new carrots. We're going to try Kyoto Red & Nebula Black. Both look super cool & are high in beta-carotene, antioxidants, & anthocyanins. Hopefully, they will do as well as our standard orange carrots. ps ... Orange carrots = good. Orange #FelonPresident = bad lol. 🇦🇺 🐨 🥕 ⚖️ 🇺🇸

Aside from having fresh produce at your door. One of the best things about home veggie gardens is being able to grow colourful heirloom varieties. 🇦🇺 🐨 🍅 🥒 🌱

More AU fires. It is hot & dry. Still, #FossilFuel emissions super charge the heating of the atmosphere. Everyday people are getting smashed. 59 fires in NSW.

The last week in Lake Macquarie NSW has mostly been above 37°C. One day hit 40°C. IMHO it's at least a few degrees hotter working under the sun. Our front garden path and new raised veggie beds are getting closer to done. Just a few hours of work each morning before it gets stupid hot. 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️

The end of a very hot day & RFS is reporting 103 fires across NSW. Houses have been lost on the coast. The heat was intense. Far worse inland. 43.9°C at White Cliffs aka 111.02°F. Natural weather is one thing. But, #FossilFuel knows they’re driving global heating, & are responsible. #MakeThemPay 🇦🇺☀️🔥

Our spring path project is almost done. The native ground cover out the front was not doing well, so it's been replaced with creamy rhyolite. We'll also add 2 raised veggie beds to the right of path to replace the last of the patchy ground cover. Hopefully we'll be done before Xmas. 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️ 🌱 🎄
