Gardening Principles
Hi and Welcome to Garden fresh food:
Today I want to talk to you about Garden Principles:
What I mean by that is I want to show you how to set up your gardening plan, as so as you can get a lot more into the space you have allocated for a vegetable garden.
Garden Principles:
1. Divide Garden Area up into 8--9seperate Beds:
2. Use narrow paths between beds:
3. Never walk on a bed, and no future digging:
4. Cover all beds with straw or mulch:
5. 2 beds are required to be straw free in September:
6. All other crops can use seedlings or pull back back for a seed space:
7. Use close planting to maximise yield Although individual plants will be slightly smaller.
8. Straw will prevent weeds, conserve water, provide, fertiliser for future years, Maintain a good Layer-weeds, indicate more straw required.
9. Extra fertiliser is required in initial few years as soil fertility via straw and mulch has not increased.
10. Rotate crops around the beds.
11. All rubbish, scraps, prunings,etc from Autumn clean ups, can be placed on two beds and thereforebuild up a mound for Potatoes in July/Aug.
Plant Cabbages, Cauliflowers, through these beds after Potatoes.
12. The Garden system should be as Follows:
Straw:
Plant:
Water:
Harvest:
"No Digging".
13. For a Garden 102 Meters long by 2 meters wide, cut into small beds 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, will allow you to weed from each side, and plant from each side, as so as not to tread on any beds.
14. Harvest a Basket of Vegetables, once/ a week every week of the year, for Summer Main Crops a second Harvest/ week for Freezer:
15. Time investment approx 2 hours per week:
16. Use of Cloths/ Glass/ Plastic Bags,etc will Allow early plantings up to 6--8 weeks.
17. Remember snail/slug pellets around seedlings for protection:
Hope you find all this very helpful if you need to know anything please leave a comment below, and I will personally answer it for you, with my own hand writting or you can email me.
Next Post we are going to show you what to plant, each month: So you please take good care and be encouraged to start your own Vegie Garden even if you are in a high rise appartment we will show you how with just small spaces how to do it. luv ya all bye for now and God Bless you and keep you healthy.

Vegetables and Wallaby Patties
Hi and Welcome,to Garden-fresh-Food.
To day I want to share with you about my Grandma's Wallaby Patties, with Vegetables, they are delicious, we had some on Friday night, as we had our next door neighbours, over for tea, and they thoughly enjoyed them.
So with out any more chat, let me give you the Recipe, you'll love them as well.
Ok when all your meat Patties from the Wallaby, is all cleaned then I minced it all up with a couple of nice sized onions, then added some chopped bacon pieces, a cup and a half of bread crumbs, brought in a packet, then next a couple of beaten eggs, salt and pepper to your liking, also some cooked and mashed potatoes, and when all mixed up together, then you make a nice sized pattie, I use a fork to put some on a tray to, make into nice size, 3 inches around , and make as many as your mixture will allow.
Then either cook them on the Barbecue, or under the griller on your stove, or where ever you want to cook them, and when cooked through, serve with nice cooked Patties and fresh garden vegetables fresh from your own Garden, Wow , mmmmmmmmmmm very very nice, and best of all there is no unessary fat to be concerned about, if you don't want the bacon put in it then leave it out, and you will have no fat at all in it, and you will get all the protien you need, plus there is no Cholestrol, to worry about this is the best meat, of all wild meats.
So there you are another use for your Garden-fresh-Foods with Wallaby Patties.
So hope you enjoy them as much as we did on Friday night, washed down with a nice Red Wine, mmmmmmmmm beautiful, so until next time its Keep healthy from Green thumb. bye.

All kinds of goodies planted today
Hi and welcome to Garden-fresh-food:
Well today we planted onions, peas,lettuces, carrots, and a lot of beans,Both climbing and butter beans, snake beans, kinglake beans, and we had a real good day as now they are getting longer as the Summer comes into play.
Also we had a lot of Compost to put out and dig into new beds ready for, what ever is next to plant like some Black Russian Tomatoes, as they are ready now to be transplanted, into nice friable soils, and will really get away if anything like last year.
Here at Garden-Fresh-Food: where we are now living up in a mountain top like place in Mytle Grove Retreat, with Paul and Muriel Hart.
With all the bird life here as we don't have a Cat or a Dog, to chase them away, there are Possums, and Bandicoots, Potoroo's, Rabbits wild one's, that all like to get into the Garden if they possibly can, but we have a wire netting fence with an electric wire around the top to keep the possums out, also we have a possums trap we catch them and relocate them away from the property, as they will return when taken away unless taken over a wide river then they won't return. ok enough for today we look forward to seeing your Comments,and Email us if we can help you in any way at all.
So until next post its God Bless you and keep you in very Good health with Garden-Fresh-Food. bye for now from green thumb:
