February in our Suburban Food Forest Garden

February was a month filled with rain, and many of those magical quite moments when the droplets stop falling and the sun shines through...


Inspired by the constant rain, many strange and beautiful fungi rose to show their delicate heads...


The last of the sweet Pink Iona grapes were savoured...


And the first of the acerola cherries enjoyed...


The change of autumn is in the air...


But bottles of summers treasures will remind us of the season past for some time to come (many thanks for the lovely homemade plum jam Cath and Jillian!) ...


We hope wherever you are, that February was magical in your garden...

It was! I learnt that you cannot replace a good, constant, soaking rain followed by a little sunshine, to make magic in you garden... if only there was more of it in our area!

The piklets and jam were very yum thanks Cassie!

Glad to hear you are looking forward to autumn Fay - you guys sure have it much tougher with the weather over in western Australia! Our 2 puff ball chooks are great thanks, as ditzy as ever! They have been quite broody and not laying much at all these past months - but they are silkies after all!
