Make It From Scratch. Thursday, 28 April 2016. I was lucky enough to score some free herbs this week, herbs that had reached their use by date, herbs that would otherwise have ended up as landfill. My apology for the less than stellar quality photos, my kitchen doesnt have. Good light at the best of times and today is overcast and grey. Posted in Curry Leaves. Monday, 25 April 2016. Welcome to this months Garden Share Collective hosted by Kate from Rosehips and Rhubarb. And Krystie from A Fresh Legacy.

A Repurposed Christmas ~ Blue Jeans and Dirty Gumboots
http://bluejeansanddirtygumboots.blogspot.com/2016/12/a-repurposed-christmas.html
Make It From Scratch. Saturday, 24 December 2016. A post to (hopefully) inspire you to look at old things in a new way. This post should have been up long before now, but time has just gotten away from me, so there may not be any time to make them this year, but that gives you a whole year to decide which ones will feature in your Christmas decorating next year. Bed springs can be used to make the cutest little Christmas trees. But if you don't have the wall space for a gate, how about a bicycle wheel.

The Garden in December ~ Blue Jeans and Dirty Gumboots
http://bluejeansanddirtygumboots.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-garden-in-december.html
Make It From Scratch. Monday, 2 January 2017. The Garden in December. This post was meant to be my last one for 2016, but I got busy with other things so instead it is my first post for the brand new year. While I might not enjoy the heat of summer it seems the garden does. The butternut pumpkins are doing fantastically well this year and are starting to outgrow their beds and onto the pathway, they are producing lots of female flowers which I hope the bees are busy pollinating. Took a turn for the worse...

Make It From Scratch. Saturday, 29 October 2016. We all love our vegetable garden to be productive that goes without saying, but is it possible to have a vegetable that is not only productive, but beautiful as well. Below are some ideas that just might help to achieve that. Create a beautiful entrance to your vegetable garden with an arbour, gate and fence. Add A Focal Point With A Garden or Potting Shed. If you don't have enough room for a large shed what about a tool shed. They can be simple,. And when...

Ten Raised Garden Beds To Inspire You ~ Blue Jeans and Dirty Gumboots
http://bluejeansanddirtygumboots.blogspot.com/2017/01/ten-raised-garden-beds-to-inspire-you.html
Make It From Scratch. Thursday, 5 January 2017. Ten Raised Garden Beds To Inspire You. Raised garden beds, they seem to be the way to grow these days, so if you have been thinking of making some for yourself and are looking for some inspiration, look no further. Use logs to impart a rustic feel to your raised beds. You could also get that rustic look by using old corrugated galvanised steel in different shapes. Credit for this image has been given to this website. But I have been unable to find it there.

Sharing my August | Frog Pond Farm
https://frogpondfarm.co.nz/2015/08/03/sharing-my-august
August 3, 2015. Last night I was tapping away in earnest on the laptop. It’s time for another Garden Share Collective. What’s happening at Frog Pond Farm? The garlic is growing great guns, as are the leeks. The brassicas are starting to get some size and those broad beans have finally started to flower. The salad garden is bursting with greenery and my golden Detroit beetroot are showing some fancy colour above the soil. Coriander flowering the beneficial insects love this. Needless to say, those wonderf...

Vegetable Vagabond: October 2014
http://vegetablevagabond.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sowing seeds and putting down roots. Monday, October 6, 2014. No work and all play makes me very happy today! A friend came by and brought me some of her wonderful asparagus this morning and all day, on and off, I have been thinking about how I would have it tonight…. raw in a salad, steamed as a vegetable, baked in a tart…. or what! And put it under the grill to brown a little. Life is good. Let things go a bit and watch them come back. Look at the colour of that! Red cabbage shoots about to flower.

Vegetable Vagabond: January 2015
http://vegetablevagabond.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sowing seeds and putting down roots. Friday, January 16, 2015. Any others you may encounter have been similarly transformed. Children and dogs frolic with cricket balls, sand castles, little boats and beach towels. Parents cease to fret and, instead, enjoy fun, laughter and relaxation. Even testy teenagers are happy! Life is good. I am there and taking it slow. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Katevag@gmail.com, Cygnet, Tasmania, Australia. View my complete profile. BBC Worldwide on YouTube.

Vegetable Vagabond: March 2015
http://vegetablevagabond.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sowing seeds and putting down roots. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. It’s raining, it’s pouring, this old girl is…. I have been waiting for a rainy day, for weeks, so that I can stay inside and deal with the autumn abundance. As much as I love being in the garden, there’s nothing that makes me happier than a day in the kitchen but I cannot bear to be inside if the weather is fine! Not a bad effort for one afternoon…. but I have lots of apples to box up for storage and plums to stew yet! Carrot and ginger pickle...
