Vegies for a Week

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

I’ve just signed up with Foodconnect, a co-op that sells organic produce sourced with five hours of Brisbane. It’s pretty new to me and I wasn’t sure what or how much produce to expect in my weekly box; certainly not as much as I received!

My order was a single vegetable box (the smallest available), and it contained:

1 corn cob
2 small cucumbers
5 medium tomatoes
200g cherry tomatoes
200g mixed salad greens
1 beetroot (with leaves)?
2 bunches of spinach
2 knobs of ginger
3 spring onions
2 heads of broccoli
3 potatoes
2 sweet potatoes
3 onions
2 large carrots
1/2 a large cabbage
Bag of mushrooms
Large bunch parsley

Now.. what shall I turn all this bounty into…?

Pemaculture Calendar

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

The very cool Permaculture Principles website has produced a Permaculture Calendar for 2009 and a spiral-bound diary for 2009. I know what my nearest and dearest will be receiving for Midsummer and Christmas.
