Hi from North Macksville!
Have been following Mark for the past 4 years and as a result Ive become obsessed with growing my own food. Currently Im growing in pots only as we are renting while we look for our forever home. Its a little trickier growing in pots but I love a challenge, and this constant rain we’ve been getting makes it a bit harder! It is fun being in a subtropical climate and having a 9 month growing season. We moved from Sydney a year and a half ago so its fun getting tk know a new climate. I cant wait for the day that I have my own property and lots of raised garden beds. The knowledge and experience im getting living here and from Mark and these forums will allow me to really hit the ground running when I have my big garden beds! Currently Im growing in pots: peas, beans, 3 varieties of cherry tomatoes, 4 varieties of mint, oregano, chives, garlic chives, rosella, kent pumpkkn, gramma, cucamelons, bok choy, silverbeet, lettuce, 2 varieties of sunflowers, 2 varieties of spinach, 2 varieties of rosemary, thyme, basil, sage, stevia, beetroot, 3 varieties of radish, shallots, snow peas, 2 varieties of carrots, 2 varieties of chillies, a lemon tree, a bay tree and 2 black sapote seedlings. I also have lavender and other flowers spotted around to encourage the native and honey bees that are on the property. Happy growing everyone! X
