Missing

Have been back on the mainland now for 19 days...not that I am counting! Wondering how the seedlings are progressing that I planted before I left. Wondering about the garlic that was planted with the waning moon and wondering if the summer lettuce seed is ready to harvest.

I let bolt to seed for next summers sowing, a very dark red lettuce, delicious flavour with deep serrated leaves. The yellow flowers were bursting forth like stars heading for the heavens from the rosette.

 In 6 days I will know how the garden I left behind has progressed.  Not counting!

From Garden to Plate

One of the very enjoyable elements of being part of the emerging Eco Village is the sharing of resources and work.

 I picked the veges that I grew......
 Ellen cooked the stirfry.........

 We all ate the low food miles (or metres!) stirfry........YUM

 Yum.

Daughters of Fisherman at Dunalley

A childhood friend came down to Tasman Eco Village for a brief visit recently. We came through Dunalley on the way down the Tasman Peninsula. The fishermans pier and surrounds reminded us of the places of our childhood. These scenes have largely disappeared from the places that we haunted as youngsters on the mainland.

 To visit Dunalley was to revisit our past.
