✨ A Little Backyard Surprise! ✨
We had the most unexpected — and absolutely gorgeous — visitor in our backyard the other day. At first glance we thought it was just a regular house mouse… but after a closer look (and a bit of excited Googling!) we realised we’d actually stumbled across a New Holland Mouse — a near-endangered native marsupial! 😍🐭✨
These little beauties are so rarely seen, and to know one chose our garden to wander through honestly feels so special. The New Holland Mouse feeds on native seeds, grasses, fungi, and insects — all things we’ve encouraged by building a dense, diverse mini-ecosystem right here at home.
Over the years our backyard has become a real sanctuary. We’re regularly visited by:
🦘 Bandicoots
🦎 Skinks & blue-tongues
🦋 Butterflies & native bees
🐦 Honey-eaters & wrens
🦂 Spiders & beneficial insects
🌿 And now… a New Holland Mouse!

Creating layers of habitat, keeping things wild around the edges, and planting plenty of natives has transformed our space into a little biodiversity hotspot. Moments like this remind us why backyard ecosystems matter. Even small patches can become a refuge for species that truly need it.
Feeling honoured and inspired today ✨🧡🌱

🌱 Angled Luffa Loving This Heat! 🌞
Our Angled Luffa is thriving right now as we roll into the real heat — especially for those of you in the more tropical parts of QLD. It’s been feeding us for the past week and honestly… what a treat!
This beauty is such a versatile vegetable:
🥒 Eat it raw in salads for a refreshing cucumber-style crunch
🥘 Cook it like a zucchini — it actually prefers the heat and humidity, so no more sad summer zukes!
Growing Angled Luffa is incredibly easy here in SEQLD. Pop it on a trellis and you’ll not only get loads of fruit but also a gorgeous canopy that creates dappled shade for heat-sensitive veggies growing underneath. Perfect for those hot, steamy months when everything else starts to struggle.
If you’ve been thinking about trying something new in the garden this season… this is your sign!

🌿 A Decade of Growing Diversity 🌿
Over the past ten years, we’ve slowly increased the diversity on our urban farm, and each season brings new surprises! Alongside our beloved heirlooms, many longer-standing plants continue to thrive.
Right now, we’re overflowing with fruit 🍌🍊🥭—from bananas, citrus, guavas, pomegranates, Panama berries, peaches, apples, mangos, avocados, figs, passionfruit… and probably more that my memory can’t keep up with! With plenty of much-needed water this season, our trees are happy and the fruit set is looking fantastic.
There’s nothing quite like growing your own chemical-free, nutritious food. After a decade of love and labour, the supermarket is basically in our backyard! 🏡
Yes, it takes time, dedication, and more hands make light work—but it’s totally possible on an urban block if you grow bio-intensive. The rewards? Absolutely priceless. 💛

🌱 Burdock is Back! 🌱
Our burdock is regrowing beautifully, and we’re loving how resilient this little root is!

🌿 Herbal: Traditionally supports liver health, detox, and glowing skin.
💧 Skincare: Anti-inflammatory properties make it a natural skincare helper.
Fun fact: Burdock is a hardy perennial—once it’s in your garden, it keeps coming back! 🌱

🥦 Our Late Long Island Brussels Sprouts are finally starting to head up — and we couldn’t be happier! It’s been a long wait this season, with the warmer weather slowing them down, but patience really does pay off in the garden. 💚
We were a bit late getting them in the ground this year — they’re usually best planted around February for a great start — but they’re powering along beautifully now. These heirloom sprouts are a true cool-season classic: compact, hardy, and absolutely worth the wait! 🌱✨

🌿 Banana Sap Neutralises Wasp Bites! 🍌🐝
Contrary to what some might say — yes, banana sap really does neutralise the pain from a wasp bite almost instantly!
When you’re growing a food forest, you’ll notice it’s alive with pollinators — and that usually means wasps too. They rarely bother us, but if you happen to brush a nest while working, you might get a sting! 😣
Never fear — the solution is right beside the problem. 🍃 Simply cut a fresh banana leaf, squeeze the meaty part of the stem to release the sap, and dab it straight onto the sting. Instant relief! We’ve used this simple natural remedy plenty of times safely — and you can reapply as needed. 🌱
💚 Nature really does have an answer for everything.
⚠️ Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor — always do your own research and seek medical advice if needed. I’m simply sharing what has worked for us here on our urban farm. 🌿
