Grocer, a good wash…there are plenty worse nasties in inner city soil.

hmmmm, despite having partaken in the salad at the banquet, I can’t quite help but recall the dog wee comments…
ick!

Kalyn, I shall try and blog each one. i’ve been jealous of your all winter. Sadly when I was out at the Bloggers’ Banquet Jak ate my ripe strawbs.

Ran, I’m lucky the dogs seem to keep the possums on the electricity wires and the trees. I hear them jumping 5m every night off our tin roof on to a tree.

Mutemonkey, i’m glad you enjoyed. I’m sorry i missed your muffins.

Labelga, just jumping over there now…back and cool

Excellent idea! I came here via Ilva at Lucullian. Check out fritzhaeg.com. Perhaps you can get in touch with him and your garden can be one of his Edible Estate front lawn projects.

I had a plate of your jazz salad last night, Ed, and it was lovely – I really liked the sharp bitter taste of some of the leaves, and the dressing was tasty too. Thanks for sharing!

i am sooo jealous. i planted some herbs in pots a few weeks ago and within a week the possums had eaten every little bit. they really loved the parsley!

anyway the plan is now to put up an electric fence around the deck. the bloody things can jump like 5m though so dont know if it will stop them!

Your garden is going to be just fantastic. I can’t tell you how much I’m missing my own garden now that everything is covered with frost every morning and only the rosemary, sage, and mint still have a few usable leaves. I’m just trying to console myself with making soup, but there is nothing like summer! Your collection of crops sounds just outstanding. Can’t wait to hear more about how you’re using everything.
