  • Cheater\'s chooks

    Posted on Saturday November 21st, 2009 at 00:30 in chooks

    I'm not sure how my workmate Chris cottoned on to the fact that I've been thinking about getting chooks, but when some props from a recent gardening promotion ended up in the back of her Land Rover, she immediately thought of me. "Would you like thes...

  • Oops, a harvest!

    Posted on Tuesday November 17th, 2009 at 23:44 in potatoes, growing potatoes in a bag

    Well, my experiment with growing spuds in a bag had an unexpected early part-harvest the other day, thanks mostly to Huey and his playful dumping of four inches of rain in one day on my garden. Most of the plants here just soaked up that heavy rain, ...

  • Pigpen blooms again

    Posted on Monday November 16th, 2009 at 00:34 in gardenia radicans

    November is definitely going to be my month of shameless self-promotion. Yesterday, my radio spot, today, my book. Well, it's not really my book. But my garden is in it, and I worked on it, and it has some of my photos and words in it, plus my wife P...

  • And now, the radio show

    Posted on Monday November 9th, 2009 at 17:09 in Radio, don burke, 2ue sydney

    And now for a little experiment in 'blog radio'. Every second Saturday I do a segment on Don Burke's popular gardening radio show on 2UE (AM 954) in Sydney on Saturday and Sunday mornings, 6am to 9am, which is also syndicated around the country to lo...
