The nets are off after 5 weeks of growth - no evidence of attack from Wood Ducks this year for the student crop plots. Today we started harvesting zucchinis and cos lettuce. So far no signs of cabbage white caterpillars on the broccoli after months of warm, dry weather (I think there’s a relationship there!). Anyway, growing food with lots of people never gets old! #burnleyfieldstation #studentsgrowingfood #studentgarden #urbanagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #communitygarden #urbanallotment #lettheharvestbegin #fakedroneshot #secretvantagepoint

We’ve been watching our jungle garden grow outside the Northcote Pool café for the last few months. In a sheltered spot under two drip irrigation events a week it has grown super quickly. It’s full of bananas, cannas, babacos, mountain paw-paws and sweet potatoes. It’ll need an annual late winter clean up but we’re hoping it will become a summer season pool highlight for years to come. Good work @maddylivingston and @ksduncanj #northcotearc #northcotepool #junglegardens #tropicalgarden #watchingthegardengrow #poolgardens #shelteredspot #lushplanting
