Spring is springing and frozen puddles are a thing of the past. Now is the time to get active in the garden.
If you’re stumped, you can get out to the Moss Vale Community Garden Monday and Friday mornings to help out and get some tips.
Aussie Organic Gardening is a great website, maintained by a very wise woman.
Aussies Living Simply is an online forum with 6600 members. There you’ll find lots of advice and answers to any questions you may have.
Of course, the local libraries have a fabulous range of books to help you get started.
Whatever you grow and however experienced you are, there is nothing like sitting down to a meal from your own garden. It also entitles you to announce it at every such meal. Enjoy it.
