Should we all stand on our own feet? Be honest, be true, make friends, build community, strengthen the natural environment, care for Earth, be at peace, respect one another, & strive to learn? Surely, the only answer is yes. #Sustainability #Progress #Peace #Science #ZeroCorruption 🌏 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 ⚖️ ☮️ ♻️ 🌱
Is America still the one for Australia?
Trump cares little for alliances. So his presidency could well offer a priceless gift to Australia: a rare moment when national self-interest can eclipse sentiment.

Our spring garden path project is movin' on. The backyard & side path should be done by the weekend. It'll be 35°C for the next two days. So, probably only a few early morning hours of work. The raised garden bed opposite the passionfruit box will get an upgrade too, to house a fruiting fig. 🇦🇺 🐨 🌱 ♻️

Our garden path project is ongoing. Slowly getting there, but taking Sunday off. The side path used to become an impassable jungle. It's clear now. But, not sure if there's something we can do with it now? The bed opposite the passionfruit will soon have a fruiting fig tree. 🇦🇺 🐨 🌱

Being able to get fresh food from the backyard, when you need it, is one of the best things about a home veggie garden. IMHO less time & money spent in supermarkets is also a good thing. 🇦🇺 🐨 🌱🥕 🧅 🐝

A few days in now barrowing & levelling rhyolite sand for garden paths. I wish this stuff moved itself, alas my telekinesis skills are sadly lacking. Still the paths are looking good. Can't wait to be done & to get back to guitar & recording songs for next year. 🇦🇺 🐨 🌱 🎸

Almost cut this zucchini yesterday. I swear it was half the size then. What a difference 24 hours makes. If you have a favourite zucchini recipe please feel free to share! 🇦🇺 🐨 🌱

This year, we're setting more permanent rhyolite paths around the backyard veggie beds. The rhyolite arrived this afternoon, not a cloud to be seen. 100% #BlueSky. A few barrow loads are in and levelled. Lots to go. Hopefully, we'll be done in about a fortnight. #VeggieGardens #BackyardFood 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️ 🌱

#Mudgee is a beautiful spot. Koalas, horses, farms, vineyards, fertile soil, favourable climate, historic architecture. Destructive #CorporateCoal has no place in #Mudgee. Expansion is in breech of the World Court. #DoTheRightThing #SaveKoalas #SaveMudgee #ClimateAction 🇦🇺 ⚖️ 🐨 🌱
Scientists warn 'critical' koala habitat under threat from mine expansion

Be awesome like Australia's native Amegilla cingulata blue bee. We're so happy to see a few in our garden again this spring. #BlueBee #LakeMacquarie #Garden #Sustainability 🇦🇺 🐝 🍅

Native "devil" bee discovered in Western Australia. Aptly named Megachile lucifer. All the while, AU ranks first in the world for mammal extinctions, & is a top country for overall species loss. 100+ species lost in 200 years. #NativeBees #Biodiversity #Science #Don'tKnow #Dont'Clear 🇦🇺 🐝 🌱

We're really liking these yellow zucchini. An early prolific straightneck variety that are just starting to live up to their name. These are about store size at 15cm. 🇦🇺 🐨 🌱

Each spring/sumner weekend, we cook a big batch of something for dinner and freeze the rest. We're super lucky to have solar & battery, so the extra freezer, & house now run for free. Quick, homegrown, frozen dinners rock. 🇦🇺 🐨 🥕 🌱 🎸

Conservatives, LNP, Tories, GOP, CPC et al., are the privileged minority. Their approach is to con enough of the majority into thinking they'll care about them. They rule by smoke & mirrors. Now in AU, the sun is shining on the truth. LNP hate progress, the planet, even themselves. #AusPol 🇦🇺 🐨 🌏 🌱
Liberals deliver slap in the face to voters by dumping net zero
The Liberal conservatives' success in forcing their party to dump its commitment to the net zero emissions reduction target has been a triumph of ideology over pragmatism.

Blue tongue lizards like hanging out in our veggie garden & under the back deck. This little fella, only about 25cm, was just cruising down the side of the shed. The white geofabric is down ready to add a rhyolite path. 🇦🇺 🦎

One last corny post for the day. 😍 This year we're growing sweet corn for the first time. It is interesting how some seeds grow into obviously stronger plants. With any luck we'll have sweet corn for dinner towards the end of this month. 🇦🇺 🌽 🌱

In 2022 varroa mite came to AU via Newcastle port. As a result, all honey bees were culled across the Hunter Region & outwards. AU native bees are mostly ok. So, we're planting natives that Aussie bees like & making bee hotels. We'll add a hive at some point. Happy bees. Happy veggie garden. 🇦🇺 🐝 🌱

Fake is fake, e.g., the #FelonPresident isn't orange. Similarly, an edit is an edit. e.g., editing the #EpsteinFiles to hide the #FelonPresident. "In public life, leaders need to be fully accountable". What's good for the goose is good for the gander. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Jan6Truth #StepDown 🇺🇸 ⚖️

In the garden this morning. This year's first yellow zucchini & ongoing asparagus. Plus, no stake, dwarf green beans. From seed to a first crop of 600g in 8 weeks. There'll be about 10kg to harvest all up. We bought 1 pack of seeds 3 years ago & saved seeds each harvest since. Just amazing. 🫘 🇦🇺 🐨 ☀️🌱
