Tell us about your garden and what you're growing
Currently growing very little but weeds due to having MS and several years of problems from a septic gall bladder. Since divorcing the gall bladder last year, things have improved a little. We have been juicing regularly lately (thanks to Fat, Sick and Nealy Dead http://fatsickandnearlydead.com/ ) and have a keen interest in adding better quality everything to our diets (a la Hungry For Change http://www.hungryforchange.tv/ ) Specifically looking for raw milk in the Tauranga area.

Hi Alison :)
have learnt that not everyone is receiving the ooooby gathering messages I've been sending via this website, for some reason... so thought I'd better touch base and see if you are getting them, and if not - if you'd like to be in the loop just give me your email address and will fwd them that way ;)
normally there are backyard gatherings the 2nd sat of each month between 10am-12noon, and a great way to share produce and swap seeds etc :)
this month is sustainable backyards month, so we have extra events - we had a stall at the nashi harvest festival at the arty house in tepuna last wkend which was fun :) and a gathering at the mt community garden yesterday. next weekend on sun 16th we'll have an ooooby share table as part of the stalls at they sydenham botanic reserve in otumoetai, 1-4pm. and sat the 22nd we'll have an ooooby share table at the envirofest family funday/workshop day at the historic village 10-3pm ;)
might try some sunday gatherings from april to see how that suits people and that gathering will probably be at Jane Powel's in Papamoa that month, she's the one who often runs the 'make your own probiotics' and cheesemaking workshops.
hope you are enjoying 2014, and look forward to seeing you if you'd like to come along sometime :)
- if you would like the gatherings emailed, you can send your email address in a private message, by either clicking 'add as friend' at the top left of my page, or text it to my mobile 021 064 9814 ;)
cute doggy :)
Hi Alison,
welcome to the tauranga ooooby group :)
I've been juicing lately a lot too, and it's going good, enjoying creating green drinks that actually taste good.
you're welcome to come along to any of the gatherings which are generally the 2nd sat of each mth in eachothers backyards.
or feel free to contact anyone individually via their pages if you want to get in touch with anyone :)
