Today is the first Sunday in the month, which means, for me, that the Essential Edibles Urban Orchard is on from 9 am until 11 am at Joslin Reserve.
An initiative of the the Joslin group of Sustainable Communities SA, Essential Edibles is an opportunity for backyard growers of vegetables and fruit, herbs, flowers, eggs and native plants to share and swap their produce, seeds and preserves. No money changes hands and nobody goes home empty-handed.
Today I contributed lavender, rosemary, thyme, green onions and some very late basil, eggplants and chillis.
I came home with two bay branches (I'm going to dry the bay leaves), a lot of mandarins, and some salvia and native hibiscus cuttings.
The convenors recently started a Facebook page which you can find if you search 'Essential Edibles Urban Orchard'. Please 'like' us to receive updates about group events and related issues.
