Have you had a pea today?

Hello Everyone

Well, the peas are here and ready for you! Shelling peas are packed with power! Plenty of protein & fibre apart from the nutrients! If you have children they are likely to love shelling peas. Buy them on Saturday morning at Taylor Square and/or Carriage Works Markets in Sydney.

Snow peas are looking fantastic too. Buy them too & enjoy the crunchy, crisp taste! Florian & Serkan picked heaps!

The other very important thing is a terrific invention of Steve’s to speed up the planting process. He has used his old bike wheel, added in the little pots to make the holes and a handle just in the right place. The spots are marked on the beds first by running some water through the t-tape irrigation which then shows up as little wet spots. One person whizzes along, bent double putting a finger hole in the wet spot and then the wheel is rolled along making the holes. Then the seedlings are then popped in the holes. Brilliant.

I don’t need to explain why you have to plant in each irrigation hole do I? You imagine a plant out in the last few days heat with little roots!

Remember the spring clean for the blood orange trees early September? Have a look at the blossoms on them now! They mostly survived the southerly that blew through at dawn on Wednesday. Each one is a potential blood orange of course.
