Even that little Grasshopper isn’t doing any major damage.
You’ll notice in the Harvest Tally that it seems to be The Year of the Zucchini already…I’ve been making Chocolate Zucchini Cakes, Zucchini Pancakes and Doc is grating them and adding to his Pasta Sauce
(If you do build certain to put “recipes” in the subject area or it might go through as spam )
The first Trees For Life seeds Acacia papyrocarpa and Melaleuca lanceolata continue to germinate as I prepare to plant the Acacia calamifolia tomorrow (they are soaking now).
Harvest Tally:
Doesn’t include Greens fed to the chooks or herbs picked for use in the kitchen for cooking or tea making.
Also we’ve been grazing out in the garden…just can’t help evaluating those Apricots and Cherries as they get closer to being ripe!
