    Bad timing! We also meet on Tuesday mornings at 9.30am to discuss garden management and planning. Next time on the 11th. The event on the 23rd is at 1.30pm.

    I'd like to be adding to the currently  ongoing discussion about an oooby swap, but I'm at work at the moment and have limited time for more important things!

    Hi Jo That's great! All help would be gratefully accepted at Seven Oaks. Our next working bee is at 10am on the 16th and then there is an Organic Garden City Trust windup/handover to the local branch of the Soil and Health Assoc on the 23rd. If you think you can make it to either of these then let me know and I'll get more details to you. Cheers Dave.

    Hi Jo,

    Thats a whopper of a rabbit! Flemish Giant or a different breed? This may be an uncomfortable question for you but do you breed at all for the table?

    At my local butcher tiny little wild harvested rabbit go for about $35 each, which makes rabbit more expensive than prime beef! We grow rabbit in our permaculture garden as a means of lawn mowing, fertliser and food but i would love to develop a commercial small farming system on our 5 acre plot. I have designed a fencing system that I hope will mean we can do free range.
    I don't like cages.

    Sincerest apologies if you are a vegetarian but I wiould love to find out more about that whopper.

    cheers
