- Hi Maggie
Thanks for getting in touch. Well basically I love growing many different things. My father was a nurseryman, my grandfather and great grandfather were market gardeners so you could say I have inherited the "growing gene". I grew up in England and moved to Australia with my husband back in 1998. I have since set up my own wholesale plant nursery where I grow both native and exotics. My two children, Tom (8) and Amelie(4) are of an age now where they love the garden so we have started a little kitchen garden at home where we try to harvest something fresh each night. My husband is French so we tend to grow huge amounts of lettuce! We have a herb garden, a spot for tomatoes, cucumbers for ourselves (and the guinea pigs!), and a few other bits and pieces. Gosh I could talk all day but I have to do the school run. I'll write more this evening. What a great website this is - my good friend Mary Riekert introduced me to it!
Regards
Sally

Gillian said… - Hi Maggie,
I was just looking at your photos again - you have such a lovely garden - so peaceful just looking at it! I was wondering what sort of irrigation hose you use? I have been using soaker hoses, but they rot out so quickly. I have been repairing the rotting pieces with insulation tape, but dont know how long that can go on for!

- Hi Maggie - I'm a great fan of your blog. And love your photos.We think we are having a hot spring here but when I hear about the temperatures in Adelaide I realise we're not so bad.
Cheers

Everett McDonald said… - "An edible patchwork quilt" sounds like the ideal kitchen garden.
I've seen your pictures, your garden looks so peaceful. Isn't it
awsome how much can come from a small garden.
My son has two 4 x 4 foot beds. He squeezes in a tomato plant,
2 cucumbers, pepper plants, spinach, carrots, and even this year
a summer squash. Because it's small it's easy to care for and
like yours looks beautiful.

Lisa Vallejo said… - Hi Maggie, Thank you for breaking the ice and sending me a note. May I add you as a friend? You've such a beautiful garden, very inspiring. I wish I had a garden like yours. But as you know I can only plant in containers on my roof.
To answer your query, Philippine cuisine has a mixture of eastern and western influences with an array of rich flavor, colors and spices. The most popular dishes are of Spanish and Chinese origin. Personally I prefer sea foods and vegetables.
I've been finding my way around and I can see that there are lots of interesting things in here.
