Our latest insta'green'' feed straight from the patch:

It’s been a very long time - brewing from grain...I’d forgotten how enjoyable the process and the aroma of boiling malt and hops are...plus the thrill of precision 😂 Looking forward to enjoying this ESB

A tough day at the office - exhibitor wine tasting at the Rutherglen Wine Show. A little more refined than our old days of the public tastings at the Royal Hobart Wine Show 😂

Spring is still young after last night’s snowstorm and a long day of seed propagating and garden prep - vino by the firepit seems a great reward for effort! I hope we have enough space for all the potential seedlings 😂

It’s official! Spring has sprung on North East Victoria! These survived the move north last summer and were mere buds on Saturday and are powering on. Looking forward to harvest and brewing. #cascade #hops #highcountry #brewing #beer

Currently growing #inthepatch - red onions for pickling... plus the leaves are delicious!

After a year building the Merriment garden, we've had a chance to watch how the elements behave. We're taking the opportunity to divide our asparagus crowns and plant them into what will become our perennial mini-food forest. Looks like a promising Spring!

Mid-winter Melbourne: it's been dry this year, with clear night skies resulting in nice frosty mornings (especially when you live along Merri Creek!). Frost has benefits for many plants that require a good chill to produce, including "sweetening" brassicas - though try explaining that to our frost-burnt capsicum plants!

Whilst the garden is slowly ticking away during winter, we have a chance to grow some Swiss Brown mushrooms to supplement our vegetables. We're looking forward to experimenting with growing oyster mushrooms in our cellar soon.

The Tropics: plants grow fast & compost fast!
With the residues of the working bee @emashitamindonesia we built a hot compost pile. It will be turned in around 3 days, and is expected to be finished in less than 3 weeks before reapplied to the garden.

Currently enjoying the first of the 3-day Ubud Food Festival in Bali. As well as exploring some of the diversity of Indonesia's rich culinary heritage, we have the opportunity to listen to many leaders as they share their thoughts and experiences. Janur Yasa @moksaubud Penelope Williams @alilamanggis and Tri Sutrisna @wanaprasta all advocated the importance of seasonality in regards to our food supply and sustainable food production, as well as discussing the challenges.
