News from the Wiradjuri Food Garden

Hi all,
This garden is at the rear of the Sandhills Foundation in Audley Street. I ate snowpeas fresh picked from the vine just this morning. It is so so lush!  It was planted up by a group of Year 7 - 10 students and a small group of community Elders who regularly visit the foundation.  As you can see the raised beds are working a treat.  Thanks to Cory Prior who checks on the garden and waters daily.  It's at picking stage so it's wonderful to know our elders are picking salad items and taking them home.

Tomatoes, lettuce and companion plants - marigold. The marigolds are doing their job. They attract the bugs that would normally attack the tomatoes. Might need to plant more Marigolds - they have been much munched upon!

 
The citrus goes in.

Uncle Kevin gives our seedlings some attention.


Very pleased with ourselves.

You have to agree - that is success!!!!.  And I ate snow peas straight from the vine.
