The last two nights I have had the most delicious meals with steamed and raw vegetables I have grown myself including the most wonderful tasting new potatoes. All I have needed to add to my vegetables has been a little organic cold pressed olive oil and a tiny touch of sea salt and they have been the tastiest, sweetest food I have eaten.
It is hard to believe the garden only opened on July 25th and it has been so dry since. I planted this broccoli on opening day.
Below you can see a sweep of the community garden, situated amongst the gum trees behind the community hall. The raised beds for the disabled are just visible as well as the rainwater tank. A small corner of the no dig garden created around the edge of the gardens by members using newspaper and mulch can be seen. Plantings of pumpkins, water melons, rock melons, and other spreaders have just begun in this no dig area.
The last photo shows our shed and garden shed along with the new seed raising area. The mural on the shed was created by a local artist who is one of the original inhabitants of this area.
