Enjoying the long weekend in the quite and peace of our garden, but it wasn't all rest. Much seed saving and plant propagation to be done.
Strawberries are always popular, millions of runners, they are like rats fleeing a sinking ship I wanted lots for the School Garden so I have let them go for it this year.
I will keep the Hokawase to increase my stock, it is by far the best flavour Strawb I have. Thanks Brad !
School garden seed trays to sell at the Fair for the PnC.
Some Bush Beans from the School Garden. Now the kids can plant their own seeds.
Carrot Seeds, I was a bit slack so these will be a cross of Purple Dragon, and Royal Chantenay.
That is 1/3 of each type and 1/3 new random stuff, isn't it exciting.

I think Alex misunderstood me calling them good little seed savers.
Watch out the Seed Sabres are out.
Finally picked the New Guinea Bean at our Permaculture Northern APEs meeting, thankfully it was full of seeds, so plenty for everyone next year.
With an hobby farm childhood followed by engineering background, Permaculture provides me much. It's about ecosystem management, mimicing nature (the master designer) and the optimisation of ins and outs. I am specialising in edible plants and intend to, amongst other things, create a seed and plant bank for WA. Along the way I will keep this site posted with news, photos, tips and learning material. Join me, we shall vacuum up knowledge, grow in ourselves and allow the world save itself.
All great worthwhile stuff! Keep it up.
