A dragon... that's what it is, didn't think it looked like a unicorn

Hi there Kitty. You are just up the mountain from me - not too far away although when I do drive up it is usually to Mossy and sometimes to the lovely nursery in Bundanoon. You are always welcome to visit - kid friendly here - with ponies etc - if you feel like a drive but no doubt you have your hands full. I am 35 mins east of Moss Vale and about 20 mins east of Fitzroy Falls.
I have been influenced by the permaculture folk around here and one who gardened for me in the early days here. Learning all the time. No nasties except glysophate and if you visited you would understand why although now I am even giving up the glypho on the beds and am walking around laying whole wet newspapers on 2 foot high weeds and then straw - can't get enough newspapers.
Love your pictures - and lovely children. I have masses of strawberry plants to give away and also masses of bog sage (pretty blue flower that looks good with roses. Like hundreds of both. Also dietes and am digging some for Dan in the morning. Let me know if you want strawberries before I lay the newspaper over them in the next few days (I do have enough planted for me and enough is enough).
Glad to have a sort of neighbour on the forum.

Hello Kitty ...nice to meet you and welcome.
Beautiful children.
I am baby-sitting my fifteen month grandson today. I love him to bits but he tires me out.*G*

| welcome kitty, Im another permaculture fan too, I think it really is such a great way to garden, working with nature instead of against it. josh byrnes from ABC gardening australia did a permaculture backyard and they put it out on cd, you might be able to order it through your local library? |

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome - I'm probably a bit late for the strawberries am I?? Any free plants - especially edible ones are highly appreciated... Thanks Otamot, I've got his book and seen part of the vid at a permaculture work shop I did - but I would love to get my hands on the disc, so I'll look out for it. Cheers everyone!
PS Yes, it is a dragon, hiding on his bed of rocks as my son has a rock obsession... |
