https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/p/city-garden.html
City garden country garden. The city garden is a courtyard garden in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. It measures about 6 x 8 metres, and most of that is paved. The garden sits on one side, along with a number of tubs and a couple of fruit trees dotted amongst the other beds. Although it's small, somehow squeezed into it are:. 2 chickens and a small chicken coop. 2 dwarf peach trees. 1 dwarf apricot tree. 1 kafir lime tree. 1 dwarf blood orange tree. A large table for summer meals with friends. The City G...

city garden country garden: Slow Living Journal - March to June 2015
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/slow-living-journal-march-to-june-2015.html
City garden country garden. Slow Living Journal - March to June 2015. It was so lovely today to receive a message on my last blog post from Linda at Greenhaven. Just checking in, given it's been so long since I last did a post. Thanks for your thoughts Linda. All is good here, just not so much slow living going on at the moment! We have calculated that next year we need to harvest 78kg to make enough for one bottle each per week for the year. One of the highlights of the last few months was a trip to NZ&...

city garden country garden: Making Cider
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/making-cider.html
City garden country garden. In my last blog post I wrote about one way of using lots of apples when you have a glut: make apple cider. My friend E and I had investigated lots of recipes but most seemed very complicated and needed lots of equipment or time. Then I read Sally Wise's book A Year on the Farm. And came across a recipe in it that seemed ridiculously simple, so we decided to give it a go (thanks E for the photos! How simple is that? But all of that starts to take away from the reason we chose t...

city garden country garden: Country Garden Glut and Being Distracted
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/02/country-garden-glut-and-being-distracted.html
City garden country garden. Country Garden Glut and Being Distracted. The email from my aunt arrived with a hint of desperation to it: "Please come up this weekend, even if it's hot and all you do is pick some of the tomatoes, capsicums, squash, eggplants.". The last couple of weekends I've been distracted from the Country Garden by a country show. I stopped picking when I filled two eskies and the temperature reached 36 degrees. And here's why I wasn't gardening last week. City garden country garden.

city garden country garden: Winter Life
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/winter-life.html
City garden country garden. It often feels to me that everything stops in winter and is all grey and dreary. But today as I walked in the front gate of the City Garden I noticed that the nuts on the mallee gum (which I think is Eucalyptus. In the front garden are starting to "pop their lids" and will soon be in a short but full bloom. Then I started looking around at the other plants in the garden and realised that there are flowers everywhere! City garden country garden. 26 July 2015 at 07:41. The City ...

city garden country garden: December 2014
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
City garden country garden. 2014 - That's a Wrap! Well another big year is coming to a close. Day jobs have kept us busy and the months have flown by, but there has still been plenty going on in both the City and Country Gardens:. Possums still remain a threat, so the vegie garden is encased in wire to try to keep them out. So far I'm winning that competition, but it's early days! Best wishes for the festive season and for a bountiful year in 2015. City garden country garden. Links to this post. The City...

https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/p/its-all-learning-experience.html
City garden country garden. I've lost count of the number of times that I've said "Oh well, it's all a learning experience." since we established the country garden (or the city garden for that matter). It really has been a steep learning curve, but lots of fun along the way. Here are a few of the tips and tricks and mistakes that I've learnt along the way. Read about my experiments with growing a successful garlic crop here. Stem and Root protection. The carrots grow like that! I really have to consciou...

https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/green-and-purple-days-in-country-garden.html
City garden country garden. Green and Purple Days in the Country Garden. It's only a couple of weeks past the winter solstice, the ground is getting really wet and muddy from lots of rain and there have been regular frosts and freezing cold nights. The garden could certainly be forgiven for not being productive at this time of year. And yet it's flourishing, albeit in a slower, wintery way! City garden country garden.

city garden country garden: Show Time!
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/02/show-time.html
City garden country garden. Last year I was inspired by Louise at Garden Glut. Who entered her local Ag shows in a number of categories. I intended to enter the show near the Country Garden, but alas, when it came time I realised that the show was mainly about horses and there weren't many of the traditional categories being run. This year, however, was going to be different. My friend E has gone from a tiny vegie box garden. We're already planning for next year. ;). City garden country garden. The City ...
