Due to many factors affecting my ability to put the regular time into my garden, I have done virtually nothing to it for the past 18 months.
Yet it has still provided fruit, herbs, minimal veg and plenty of habitat for the insects birds and occasional blue tongue lizard.
All the self seeding greens, herbs and even parsnips have provided wonderful habitat for the hoverflies and other small pollinators.

A month after this post we sold our property. We had a massive garage sale and sold, gave away or donated all our belongings and began life living in a bus full time on the road travelling Australia.
Our nomad lifestyle website is: www.finchysaustralia.com
I do miss my beautiful abundant permaculture garden but still have the opportunity to garden when house-sitting around the country. Our new life on the road is a big adventure and just another chapter.
I am forever grateful for the knowledge I gained from doing a PDC with the Food Forest in Adelaide in 2005 before we built our property. Hands on learning and being creative are two of my all time favourite things to do.
