Name this post and help launch a new tradition!
I think there should be a time every year when devoted food gardeners do as all good believers do - participate in some kind of meaningful ritual. I am a bit hopeless at religion but even I can think of several such traditions which illustrate what I mean. There is the whole 40 days and 40 nights thing that Christians call Lent; there is Ramadan, the Muslims' month of fasting; and, more a cultural event than a religion, there is the week of the Chinese New Year celebrations. I am sure there…

The place is very central but peaceful, great views, north facing, 3 bedroom, new kitchen, big sunny deck, very pleasant home. The person would need to contribute for cost of power and gas, and a donation towards general expenses of household…

Greetings from Adelaide and congratulations on your lovely new home. I love the idea of WKI Day - just wondering if most members grow at home or if they also grow edibles at work. When we were building our office/surgery we replaced the fence around the carpark with a row of fruit trees - I like to think that this helped feed the homeless... I also have another question - I recently tried some Persimmons for the first time and was so impressed we bought a tree - has anyone tried to Espalier a Persimmon Tree and how did it go?
