Part of my contribution to Christmas Day lunch - a Crayfish and a Babaco. The Babaco I grew myself, the Crayfish I caught with my bare hands at the Preston Market once I forked out $130 😱.

Cherry plums rescued from marauding Lorikeets, Cockatoos and Fruit Bats. In bird and bat world the ‘low hanging fruit’ are the ‘high hanging fruit’ so these were picked at the comfort zone bipedal primate level up to about 1.5 metres off the ground. What’s so fascinating is that the Lorikeets eat only the flesh of the plums and let the seed drop while the White Cockatoos eat chew through the fruit to get to the seed. Then the Fruit Bats arrive at dusk and clock on for night shift - everyone’s a winner! #cherryplums #plums #handpickedfruit #wildfruittrees #beatthebirdstothem #backyardfruit #summerfruit #birdsandbats #novelecosystem #urbanwildlife

We loaded the truck, we drove to Dandenong Market, we planted out interesting plants with the Horticulture team from the City of Greater Dandenong and then we drove home via Roth Hetherington Reserve to drop off some Themeda Oat Grass (‘the other Themeda’). It’s always a pleasure to work with the gardeners at Dandenong led by the formidable Steve Nelson. These guys are a precious example of passionate and creative municipal maintenance gardeners working on 800 hectares of open space across Dandenong and Springvale. “Urban Green Space” gets a lot of attention in the academic literature for its real and potential ability to ameliorate a range of urban induced problems. None of this will happen I don’t think without investment in high quality and dedicated gardeners... @cityofgreaterdandenong should be very proud of theirs! Plants that went in today included Mountain Paw Paw, Babaco, Abyssinian Banana, Taro, Sweet Potato and more #dandenongmarket #municipalgardens #plantingout #highviz #highvizgang #novelcrops #panc #ensete #babaco #plantsofecuador #soapboxmoment #editorializing #urbangreenspace #onthetools

My mum turns 80 today! Here she is as a three year old in 1942 with her uncle Jeff and an orphaned joey. This was on a farm my grandmother’s family were developing on infertile coastal plains at Inverloch in South Gippsland after escaping years of drought in the Mallee. Jeff died a year later shot down over Libya in a Hurricane during the Second World War. Anyway, after a 50 year career as a nurse my mum is still gardening and while as Anglo Celtic as you can get a huge eater of her son’s Taro and Yams Crops!

A Saturday excursion with my Regenerative Agriculture class at William Angliss to the inspiring Yan Yan Gurt Agroforestry Farm - 30 years of hard work by Andrew and Jill Stewart and family. Apart from sheep and timber trees there was a planting of Australian and South African proteaceous species for cut flowers and a Cob House straight out of Hobbiton but fit for humans with a green roof as a bonus.

Today my students and I played host to gardeners from Cultivating Community, the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre and the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre in our campus nursery where we propagated ginger, turmeric, sweet potatoes, yams and more ready for the Melbourne summer growing season. Pictured with me is Tessie from Papua New Guinea who told us all how desperate she was to grow and garden again in real soil after moving to Melbourne, coming from a culture with deep and ancient gardening traditions. Tessie has inspired us all to try growing peanuts in Melbourne.

The album cover for the Famous Final Five (and their lecturer) that we had to have! In 1975 George Seddon wrote a book on exploring Melbourne’s parks called ‘Somewhere to Go on Sunday’ where he rated Hedgeley Dene Gardens as one of most effective and beautiful neighbourhood parks in the metropolitan area. He also described how local kids would climb on the branches of the Chinese Elms. Well, I was one of those kids!! Today I invited the class to join me on a nostalgic revisiting of (safe) branch climbing. It’s been fun bringing students here for the last eight years... #awesomeparks #kidadults #adultkids #relivingchildhood #sunnyspringday #arboristnightmare #urbanparks #lastchildinthewoods #naturalplayscape #checkingmyprivilege #ulmusparvifolia #climbingtrees

The harsh realities of gardening: brown, burnt leaves after this week’s Frostageddon; the coldest end to winter in sixty years for Melbourne.

This is what a paddock of parsley looks like (top) with lines of hydroponic greenhouse mint (bottom left), all grown in suburban Melbourne at Butler Market Gardens. Most of us grow our own herbs (😬) but if we ever (hypothetically) have to buy them from the supermarket most of the time they’ve come from here. Rick Butler took my William Angliss class around the Heatherton farm and packing facilities today and had a clear message that increased demand for herbs has made their sixth generation operation viable once again.

American Ground Nuts are tubers on stringy roots, produced from a climbing legume. They thrive in wet, poorly drained soils.

Sunday morning non-plant life forms in the garden. I’m still reading Darwin’s 1881 pioneering (slim volume) work on earthworms but currently stuck on detailed observations of which way worms like to drag leaves down their burrows- petiole first or not ?🤔Still, now I’m watching worms more closely than ever and in any season they seem to love living under wet newspaper! As for fungi I’m colossally ignorant; reptiles I’m much better at although I’m still not sure whether this gecko is native or a cargo ship escapee; the worm certainly isn’t but can possibly claim convict heritage going back to 1788... #thingsinthegarden #earthworm #fungi #reptiles #gecko #kingdomsoflife #urbanecology #novelecosystem #firstfleeter #mildwinterday #nomorefrost #imcallingit
