About me

I live on Waiheke Island with my partner Kim, and our daughter Zuva. Since October 2007 I have been deeply involved in facilitating the growth of Transition Towns across New Zealand. I see Ooooby expressing the Transition principles and a practical tool supporting relocalisation.

I post articles, that seem worthy of our attention, on my blog at www.yesterdaysfuture.net and post videos on Transition TV.

James - A bit irrelevant for you but...

Hello Waihekean person,

If you're interested there are still a few subscriptions available for the first season of the fledgling Waiheke CSA (Waiheke Community Supported Agriculture).

First produce expected in early Jan so you've not missed out on anything yet.

Could be a great thing for the island over the coming years!

Website has some more info.

Hi,
We have some spare 'Bright Lights' silverbeet seedlings if you're interested (arguably not a particularly summer vegetable I know). We can drop them by your place if you're keen. Anna and Rich

Have a Happy Festive Season

I don't know about all of you guys, but I am going on holidays... at home. ;-)

Have a great few days and keep your gardens moist and safe from the sun.

Competition Capsicum - the first month

The Competition Capsicum was planted out about a month ago, so it's probably time for an update. I was overjoyed when the first flower opened, but somewhat dismayed when it fell off the following day, to be followed by the bit of stalk that connects the flower to the main stalk some days later (not sure on the correct anatomical terms for capsicum, or vegetable plants in general).

I fear I may have been somewhat overzealous in nurturing it, perhaps I overfed it. It has produced quite a few new…

Grey Lynn Farmers Market Twilight Market

Where: Grey Lynn Community Center
When: Saturday Dec 19th 6pm to 9pm

Please bring your homegrown goodies to the stall from 5pm to 6pm or contact me today to drop it off at my house.

Let me know what you are going to bring.

Looking forward to our first night market and the last one of the year.

Ooooby Market Stall


WE WILL BUY FOOD FROM YOUR GARDEN !

Ooooby Stall sells fruit & veg lovingly grown in local neighbourhood gardens.

With avid gardeners being the main contributors, the quality of produce is typically higher than most yet the prices are still good.

The first Stall is at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market, Auckland, each Sunday. (expt last of the month)


Bring any produce you can from your garden and we'll do a deal.


Not from around Auckland? Why not start an Ooooby Stall in your area? More info...
