Early spring really, the days lengthening fast now. My suburban garden in subtropical NSW, Australia. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

We pushed hard and got the new (to us) tank installed yesterday and it rained last night. Half full already! Woo hoo! #permaculture #retrosuburbia

"#Permaculture: how do we live in place, sustainably, in time?"
Yes, actually, that IS my project: what I'm doing with my life, right now. Building community with the people around me, to build resilience in the face of #ClimateEmergency
Planet: Critical: Resilien…

Little bit of sun and our bananas started ripening in the bag. First of 5 bunches we have on, two ladyfingers, two cavs, and this one a ducasse. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

First roast of this year's coffee. I'll roast it a bit lighter next cup. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

What a difference a solstice makes to egg production. It's a cold wet day here, the kind of day chooks (chickens if you are not in Aus) hate. But 7 eggs from 10 geriatric chooks. A week ago we were lucky to get 2 eggs a day. I might not be able to sense the lengthening days yet, but they can. #retrosuburbia

First pick of coffee beans for the season. With luck we'll get most of a year's supply thus year, from our little suburban garden. #retrosuburbia #permaculture #fromthegarden

Refritos, fried egg, broccoli and tomatoes for breakfast. All #fromthegarden . #permaculture #retrosuburbia.

Chia porridge with pawpaw, passionfruit, gudgin sprinkles, greek yoghurt. All from the garden bar some milk powder to make the yoghurt. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

Minestrone soup, all out of the garden bar the parmesan on top, on this cold night. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

Lots of spring onions in the garden atm so I tried making sourdough Korean scallion pancakes for breakfast. Crispy, flakey, easy, very delicious. #permaculture #retrosuburbia # #fromthegarden

I have to keep remembering that carrots are really not a sub-tropical crop. I plant them all year but the winter ones are so much better. Right plant for the climate and the season. You'd think I'd know that by now.
