Greetings Edible Backyarders,
Let me officially welcome you to summer (even though its been summer for weeks!) River swims mark summer’s arrival at ours, and we’ve been in the river every day after school for the past few. So very lucky to be able to cool off in fresh, clean water amidst the birds and the bush. What do you have to be grateful for?
This being the season of giving and loving, here’s my christmas gift to you:
The Summer Palace by Micheal Leunig
Make a little garden in your pocket
Plant your cuffs with radishes and rocket
Let a passionfruit crawl up your thigh
Grow some oregano in your fly
Make a steamy compost of your fears
Trickle irrigate your life with tears
Let your troubled mind become a trellis
Turn your heart into a summer palace
Merry Christmas my gardening friends!
Yours in the earth,
Kath
Join Me!
