About

  • I grow vegetables in an organic community garden in Canberra, Australia. We are characterised by mild winters, with a long frost danger zone, and a short, dry, hot summer. Our natural, unimproved soil is mainly clay, with a shallow (a few centimeters only) topsoil. Drought, frosts and climate change worry me. The peace I feel in the garden inspires me. I also keep a diary, listed as "a weft yarn". It chronicles the things I make in the home.

Bean bed - update - end summer

Strawberry plants at the end of the bed. Beans blue lake on the trellis.

The green beans are cropping well. I pick a handfull most days at the moment. This is just about right. Steamed for dinner the children each eat one green bean and we eat the rest. And yes, the one green bean is eating on sufferance. One day they will realise what a joy fresh home grown (community grown) vegies really are. In the meantime, my husband and I sigh at our philistines and enjoy the bounty.
