Catching up with ourselves

Well, life's been a bit of a hurricane lately but things have calmed down for the moment so why not get up some pix of the latest Thomas Street goings-on. Last Sunday we permablitzed Willie's place. We had fun ripping up plenty of roses, planted a pile of veggies, herbs, green manures, a kiwifruit and a hazelnut with extensive mulching. Then this Italian guy from round the corner came over with homemade wine so that was most of the South Americans gone ;-). Check out pix here.

Meantime Dan and friends have now run a couple of Sustainable Kitchen Skiils workshops, both of which have been such great fun that we're planning more (register your interest here). It's been wonderful to discover just how much interest there is in the Melbourne community for learning to make healthier, cheaper versions of what most of us otherwise buy weekly from the supermarkets. Here's a few pictures of action that included learning how to make sourdough bread, nut butters, wheatgrass, sprouts, cheese, yoghurt, kefir, viili, and sauerkraut!
