Linda, It's funny what you said about what you can grow in Tassie. We assumed it was the "perfect" climate for growing vegetables and fruit! Summer seems to be too hot and dry in Brisbane. I wonder where in Oz is the best for growing home produce.

Our blog is Gustoso http://gustoso.wordpress.com - our current challenge is to see if two amateur gardeners can become self-sufficient by converting their lawn to lunch in a year.

Thanks for that Linda I have never seen that done before, looking at later posts obviously it works!

Hi Linda I notice on your photos you seem to be growing tomatoes in buckets (number 16). Is this correct?
There is a question on the forum I Need Help, you might like to look at it.
Also maybe you could tell us about growing in buckets or pots.
Cheers Maggie

Hi Linda,

Good Point. I shall wander off in the near future and add yours to mine. I have subscribed to you previously using bloglines.

I wonder should we have a post of people naming their blogs? I have started enough recently - were you going to????

Hi Linda we might all come and camp on that hill behind your garden if it gets too hot today, just kidding.

Hey, the last pic was nice. This one is even more!

Hullo Linda
what an amazing garden you have! I am looking forward to my tomato harvest and am going to make a freezer full of pasta sauce, chutney and dried. Cannot wait. I love the look of you cut and come again salads, we are just getting into doing this and yours look so healthy and edible!

One or two questions though:
How do you store your potatoes?
I was wondering why you plant in buckets?

Again what inspiring pics, thank you for sharing them.

What is the name of the tomato in photo 2?

We are picking exactly the same as you. Our yellow zucchini is called Gold Coast.

Hi No the is no Aussie group it would be great if you could start one, there are quite a few Aussies and it would enable us to share more. At the moment they are hidden in the members lists.
Kathryn is an Aussie living in Turkey, she has gardened in Queensland and helped set up community gardens in Aussie. She is often on line. Most Americans are sleeping when we are awake! Happy New Year I am going to baby sit my little grandson soon.

Thanks, Kate, for posting what you've saved! How did the seed saving for everyone else go this year? I saved seeds from several herbs that aren't ---I don't think--- heirloom varieties (fennel, dill, basil, flat-leaf parsley, cilantro) and some z...

Hello Sumitra, Thankyou for sharing your pictures. Your students are beautiful. I thought of you the other day as I watched a documentary about Nepal on the television.

Hi Sumitra, It is great to see your photos and bee hives. Like you I long for equality for all people on this planet. If all people could grow their own vegetables it would be a great thing. It is very hard to know that lots of people do not have ...

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

The cooking shows are entertaining, but that's all. Some of my favorite recipes started with notes handed down from family. They're still as good as ever. James Beard, Joy of cooking, and Professional Chefs Manural are good references. I have over...
