Sorry dear readers, it’s been far too long since I’ve managed to post an update. There’s just been so much going on and so little downtime! The stretch between Bellingen and Sydney was pretty dismal actually, save for a few stunning highlights.

This soup is my happy place and it might just become yours too because it is so so easy to make. I don’t measure ingredients when I cook, I just shaman it, but I’ve done my best to give you a rough guide here. Just use your intuition, you’ll figure it out.

I couldn't possibly drive south without my first stop being my best friend Hanna's hemp farm. It's an hour south of home and she's been inviting me to come down for the past 6 months and somehow I just never got around to it, but I am SO glad that i finally made it there. … Continue reading The Hemp-opolis →

I'm the nostalgic type. Leaving the places I love is hard. Leaving my garden behind is especially hard, knowing that it will look completely different when we we return, seeing all the things ripening that I won't be here to harvest, accepting that some of my more sensitive plant friends might not make it through … Continue reading Goodbye Garden, Hello Road! →

I couldn't get Yilla out of the house this morning... She was too busy lying in bed with her gumboots on reading an organic gardener magazine. Go figure.
