G’day everyone, hows your week been? I think i speak for everyone when i say we’re over the rain. Not as much as last week but enough to make it a long week.

I would like to thank all the faithful people that turned up last week even though the weather was ordinary, it was much appreciated.

Due to the weather we have had we are short on spinach and rocket and whole lettuces, but we have some bigger zucchinis that are good for stuffing on these winter like nights.

We will also have wilson plums. mmm my mouth is watering at the thought. These are an early season plum that come in season in time for the work Christmas party or eat them as i eat them, like lollies.

We here’s hoping for sunny weather tomorrow, and we look forward to seeing you there.

G’day everyone, on monday i was listening to a weather report on the abc radio and they said an estimate of 50mm of rain by friday, i wasn’t looking forward to that but when we had 50mm by wednesday i knew we were in trouble. We are past saturation point and this is no good for anything.

Not all doom and gloom though, are beans have started, green beans will start at taylor sq sustainable market this week and purple king beans will start at everligh farmers market. Hopefully next week we will have enough to take some to each market. Also the garlic plats have been a huge success we have plated up some more so come and get them while they are there. We also will have our first gold beetroot for sale, come and get some and tell us what you think of it.

Plums aren’t far either, i saw the first box today, still hard, though when these ripen up yummy is the only word to describe them.

We look forward to seeing you at the markets tomorrow and hope there is no more rain.

G’day everyone. Today has been a big day, we have had a student from an American college working with us the last 2 days, Sarah, she is studding sustainability and focused on organic farming close to cities. She was a good student and we wish her all the best for her studies.

Now the exciting news, Lebanese cucumbers are back in. I don’t need to talk these babies up, you know them and love them and from tomorrow we will be selling them.

Short and sweet today but we will see you tomorrow at the markets.

G’day everyone, how are we all this week, hope you all stayed dry and out of the rain. I’ve been promised that the rain wont come on saturday till after we pack up, so don’t get scared by the weather report and come out and see us.

Scapes are new this week. What are are you ask? they are the flower shoot from the garlic and are absolutely beautiful to cook with. Garlic scapes work well in soups, salads, stews, salsas, dips, guacamole, omelettes, frittatas, souffles, marinades, pesto, salad dressings, and stir-fry. They can also be pickled and added to homemade flavored vinegars. Scapes are also delightful when cooked into sauces.

Limes are also coming back, we have a few but more will come as the season progresses.

Due to the excitement around the salad eggs i will continue to bring them in till the chickens grow and the egg get bigger.

Here is an idea, how about making a salad using our mixed leaves, garlic scapes, and the salad eggs, and limes in our olive oil for which i have a recipe for.

• 1 fresh lime juiced
• 1 tblspn. of honey
• 1/2 tsp.chili powder
• 1/8 tsp. cumin
• salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
• 1 lg. garlic clove fine minced
• 1 tsp. fresh lime zest
• A splash of vinegar is suggested as needed or to taste (optional)
• fresh herbs could also be added such as mint to taste (optional)

G’day everyone. How good was this week. Great weather the beans and tomatoes plants have made a move for the sky this week. talking about hot weather a summer salad would be in order and at Taylor Square this week we have some very special eggs, a new batch have come in and we have some Salad Eggs, thats right these eggs are the perfect size to boil and put in to a summer salad. The chickens will grow though so they wont be this size for long.

There is no other new produce this week but some of the produce is looking and tasting soooo good, the herbs are plentiful, salads and greens are super the fat hen is making a comeback in small numbers but the chickweed is going, Sorry Bentley restaurant.

Also if anyone else was interested in the puppy’s there are still more that need a good home so come and see us at the stands to find out more.

With all the complements we had with the mandarin juice we have continued to make some this week, so if your hot and want a refreshing drink (if i haven’t drank it all) be sure to get one tomorrow, see you there.

G’day everyone, This week has really helped things grow, the salad mixes and whole lettuce are looking great, Leeks are still 1st class and the citrus is really sweet. We have tangelos which are a hybrid between a tangerine and either a pomelo or a grapefruit, this mix gives a sharp taste at first followed by a sweet taste as it slide down your throat. Myer lemons are almost gone but we have collected a few for the markets.

We look forward to seeing you at either Taylor Sq Sustainable Markets or Everligh Farmers Market.
