was a great day - I took seeds and food and came home with seeds and plants.  I hope more will participate.  I can show how a very small section can produce heaps of food.  I have what is called a half interest in a cross lease section that is in fact about 1/4 of a section.  But lots of fruit and vegs, so it can be done.  Come along next month and have a look.  All welcome.  Just hope for fine weather as my unit is too small for heaps of people!  But sure it will all be fun.  Look forward to meeting some other gardeners.

Australasian Permaculture Convergence coming up soon, should be awesome.  There's some amazing speakers lined up and great opportunities for making connections with people and for gaining new skills and know how.  April 11th till 15th I think.
