What a great place! they take in neglected/abandoned animals and open
their "farm" up on weekends and school holidays, all for a donation

I have had a lot going on in that time - personal health issues and family health issues.
So I will now start doing some posts!

Very busy week!
Ok, So there was a 6 day period in May!
Started on the friday with checking in to the Seaworld resort, heading to Movie world. Followed by Saturday at Seaworld, Tuesday Mor ing we were on a 6am flight to Newcastle! very early morning for us.
We got into Newcastle and drove to Sydney, where we stayed in Darling Habour for a night and back to Newcastle for a 445pm flight home!
We squeezed SO much in while in Sydney! Drove the scenic route from Newcastle airport to Sydney, Lunch by the Harbour, a loop on the monorail, arvo tea in the Botanic gardens next to the Opera house, Dinner at Start city Casino, a trip to ths Aquarium and back to Newcastle for lunch, a visit to a beach for coffee and then back to the airport! We had a very exhausted Lumpy who was incredubly well behaved on the flights!
We will be going back to Sydney as a familyto spend more than 24 hours!!!

Don't throw it....
Grow it... here are some photos of things I have grown instead of thrown. Potatoes very easy however apparently due to chemicals used on store purchased ones I will only harvest about 5-7 spuds from each plant.
Also spring onions I don't have a pre planting photo sorry
only one is really doing well.

Hello!
Sorry! I know it's been a while between posts. Lumpy and I are getting our vege patches up and running while the weather is cooler. We have a busy busy week coming up, i will take lots of photos and post next week!
A little while a go i read somewhere "why grow grass, when you can grow food?" This has really made me think, and now I'm doing something about it!! - i am increasing our edible plants - we had Mandarin, paw paw, blueberry and strawberry (had tobuy 6 more plants as dog vs berry patch... you know who won) and garlic chives.
We now also have leeks & rosemary seedlings. With passionfruit seeds and cayenne cilli seeds to raise! as well as a wish list as long as my arm. BUT baby steps, and we will get there. (OH we also have our neighbours lemons hanging into our yard)
Yet again the wonder Homemade Mumma has shared her knowledge and ideas with me - don't throw it, grow it! makes sense now that you have heard it, right?!? this has lead to me regrowing shallots, potato (just waiting for them to sprout a little more before planting out in the big bad cold world) and experimenting with pineapple top (it is 18-24 month before we can pick a pineapple tough).

Yummy, cheap, healthy treat!
I saw a pic somewhere this week (and i truly can't remember where) of yogurt ice blocks. So when I saw a 4 pack of Activia yogurts reduced to clear at $1.35 I grabbed them and knew what to do!
What you need-
Yogurt tubs (as many as you want)
Paddle pop sticks (same number as yogurt tubs)
Freezer.
Next time you do that late night supermarket trip keep your eyes out for discount yogurt!
