Something to chew on!

Happy New Year fellow gardeners, friends and neighbours.  After a rather sleepy Christmas break the Garden has continued to grow and is now calling us all to come eat and play! Our first aboveground bed has burst into life and now supports all sorts of flora and fauna! In particular the silverbeet is flourishing and needs picking. Why not make your own Gundagai Spinach Pie!  Other varieties on the way include tomato, zucchini, beetroot, climbing spinach & rhubarb. Corn has grown above the fence line and promises a good harvest in a few weeks. Also watch your step as you come in from Union Street as pumpkin and rock-melon tendrils try to outrace each other.

Santa Claus has delivered two new corrugated iron beds which will become water-wise Wiki-beds in the near future. We hope to have other raised beds established along the back fence as we move into the year as well as painting the mural, establishing a rainwater tank etc. We welcome your ideas for other tasks and activities also!

All in all 2012 promises to be an exciting and enjoyable year for the Terrace Garden. We will circulate emails to let you know the dates of working bees and post more updates as things develop. In the meantime, why not drop in and have a look and don’t forget to mention the garden to your neighbours who may also like to be involved, receive email updates or a bunch of silverbeet!
