Tropical fruit

We have been enjoying  the company of old friends visiting us from America. The weather has been perfect and  many happy hours were spent out in the garden watching the birds and butterflies, and enjoying eating outdoors.
For breakfast we served a selection of tropical fruits. The pawpaw and passionfruit were out of our garden, the pepino, rambutan and custard apple were from the markets.

My favourite breakfast, served alongside with homemade granola and yoghurt. Yummy.
What is your favourite breakfast?

    That looks lovely, it would definitely be my favourite if I had time for breakfast. BTW I had to Google rambutan, I have never seen them here in SA.

      Rambutans are absolutely delicious. Some can be very sweet. I love the yellow variety called rambutan gading (tusks rambutan) which is firm and just a tinge of sourness much like pink lady apples. I will get some pictures to share in my blogs when they are in season.

    Your breakfast looks great. I, too, enjoy fruits with my granola. Papaya, pineapple, mango, banana and watermelon.

    That yellow fruit looks like Dragon Fruit. Is that Pepino? Whatever it is, it looks fantastic. Be careful, your visitors will never leave with meals like that!

    I am happy to report that I know what a passionfruit is. The rest? No idea! ;) Looks fantastic (and interesting), though!

Up-cycling fabrics

   In our hot and humid climate, jeans are not big movers in our op shop.  We had a $1 a pair sale rack, and still have full racks..... so I decided to make up a few different bags to see if we can somehow save these items from landfill.  Re-fashioning those items into something useful.  I made a few variations just to try out the market and sold this one on the first day they were put out! Each one is individual, depending on what fabric I have available. I tend to lay things out, and then just play around a bit.   Here I am laying out all the options before I start sewing.  I have joined a facebook group which is so inspirational and supportive.      Up-Cycled Cloth Collective | Facebook So often, it is just a case of seeing what is there, and then using it in the best way possible.  I was excited to find this tote bag, which was perfect as the lining of a bag for a teenager. this was also snapped up quickly. The bags were hu...

I have something to tell you.....

Come on in to my garden.... I have something to tell you  Sit down in the comfy chair  for a little while, and listen to the tinkling of the wind chimes - are you relaxed? Good!  Remember how I entered that garden competition, and the judges came, and they wandered down my paths, taking photos?  Yes! I won runner up! a Fifty dollar gift card ........ from a real nursery, not the big box store that I normally shop at.  Oh gosh, how exciting.... I wonder what I will buy? Thank you Cairns Regional Council!

Garden share collective June 2014

Once again another month has rolled by and it is time to link up with  Lizzie at   strayedtable  for our monthly collective where we share what has happened in our gardens for the last month and what we hope to be working on for the next month.  Wrapping up May and heading into June. Last month I wanted to work on: Seed tape .... I did make seed tape, and did a tutorial on the processs - you can see it  here.   It was fun, and worked well, expecially with kids. Mostly though I see a space and throw a few seeds in.  I can see myself doing it at the beginning of a planting season. Worms . .... I have been adding a little of the worm castings every time I plant something, and as a side dressing when plants seem to need a bit of a boost.  It does seem to help. Sitting .... plenty of that - I like the new (original) location of the swing where we have a long view of the garden. - veggie garden is just around that corner.... Eat veggies ...
