2009
No time to lose… 2009 was a busy year, and saw the big ticket items go in: The deck, ‘plunge-pond’, some earthworks, water-tanks and some other constructions.
Where it all began, December 2008. A blank slate. Whatever traditional garden was here in the past was bulldozed, but the previous owners plans to build units fell through, so we took pity and saved...
We're often happy to barter our produce & services for some combination of the items below, by arrangement.
Excess quality produce and fruit from fruit trees (Apples, Lemons, stone fruit, grapefruit etc) are almost always welcome.
- Plastic pots & seedling trays
- Straw / Lucerne / Peastraw
- Relishes & Preserves
- Tomatoes (we never seem to grow enough!)
- Seeds, if we can use them
- Home-baked bread
- Fruits eg Passion-fruit, kiwi.
- Items for the compost: Kitchen scraps, shredded paper, sawdust, coffee grounds.
- Much more... make a suggestion
It's fairly easy to approximate value: A large bag of coffee grounds for a couple of bunches of herbs, a bag of apples for a potted plant or some seedlings, etc.
