The May Gardening Australia magazine is full of great ideas to get your garden ready for winter.

There is a great article on how to build a Hot Compost Heap. Tim Marshall has helped Sophie Thomson with a very useful step by step guide to building a great compost heap surrounded by straw bales to keep the warmth in over winter.

Maggie Beer has got her timing right as usual with an article on growing (and of course using) Onions. Just as I am about to plant out the first lot of onions seedlings into the garden. She explains how day length will determine the success of your onion crop by choosing the right varieties to plant at a given time of the year.

We have seen Costa getting his neighbours out in the street working working the Verge Garden. Everyone seems to be getting involved which is great. Anna Evangeli has written an article to help organise Working Bees with lots of helpful tips.

Jerry Colby-Williams explains in great detail the benefits of including Flowering Plants in the garden to attract Beneficial Insect helpers which is something I have to agree with. He has included a couple of plants I hadn't considered but will be including in the edge beds now.

Of course at this time of the year no garden magazine could come out without including a Rose Growing Guide. Jennifer Stackhouse has all the tips you'll need for growing your roses this year including ideas for using the petals of these edible flowers and of course the hips (seed pods) that can be made into cordials and syrups that are high in vitamin C.

If you take out a subscription to the magazine they have a bonus this month of a Free Rose plant from Garden Express.

As you can see there is plenty to catch up on in this edition and lots if ideas to keep you out in the garden even if the weather is cooling down.

Thank you to the people at at Morey Media, who do the PR for Gardening Australia, for sending me a copy to review here on my blog!

This content is syndicated via RSS from the blog: Garden Amateur



My Pammy is a woman of many talents, many of which I do not possess. I've told you about her artistic abilities several times here on this blog, but she has so many more talents than just being a fab artist, illustrator and designer. She's always the one at restaurants who bothers to read the whole menu and picks out something really interesting that none of us had even noticed was there. And she's like that in shops, too. She always seems to find something hidden away that others don't spot. And yesterday she brought home her latest find. He doesn't have a name yet, but 'The Chief' is the obvious one for the meantime, isn't it?

The photos can't show you this, but he sparkles
in the sunlight. He isn't a moulded plaster or
concrete figure, he's carved from something
heavy, with a silvery, quartzy glint to it.Handsome face. And he's rough around the
edges, all over. He looks hand-carved.
Pammy found The Chief at a secondhand store
not far from here, which opened up only last
week. Like any good secondhand place it was
crammed full of stock, and that's where the
observant browsers, like Pammy, come into their own. Pammy knows I am an 'out and proud'
garden gnome lover with a libertarian
notion of what constitutes a garden
gnome. Across the way, eyeing off The
Chief with suspicion, is our entombed warrior
which I bought last year at the Art Gallery
of NSW. He's about 60cm (two feet) tall, while
The Chief is about 45cm (18 inches) tall.
I am sure The Chief is wondering 'who's
that guy with the cool body armour?'.I am sure they'll end up getting along famously. Both have much in common, being warriors with a noble bearing. I'm not sure how they view their quiet retirement in a Sydney garden, but that's fate for you. You never know where you're going to end up, do you?

Romanesco Broccoli/Cauliflower seedlings have been planted and a Vege Net cover built to protect them from the ever present Cabbage Moths.







Bed 7 in the Main Veg Garden has a great crop of Lettuces, Parcel and Snow Peas coming on but of the two sowings of Spinach seeds not one has grown...some seeds sown into punnets have also failed to germinate, I think it was a bad pack of seeds!!!











The Tank Wicking Bed no 20 is taking off with the Snow Peas flowering and the Beetroot leaves looking great.

For the past couple of years I have been working on creating a shade/woodland garden along the shady side of the house. I still have to move in more rocks, moss covered tree stumps (recovered from an area being logged by a friend), and there is of course, the ongoing search for more interesting plants.
I know the project is probably going to take at least another year to finish as I am not getting any younger and the going gets to be rough at times. Still it is a labor of love.

Primrose is a very early bloomer, loving cold temperatures.Bright sunshine inspired a whole lotta work in the gardens yesterday ~ in spite of the fact that it was blustery and cold... Sitting here, this morning, tired, and sore, happy as all get out. Having dedicated an entire day to playing in the mud.

What's your favorite time in the garden? Mine is right now. When tiny green shoots are poking up all over the place, promising pretty things to come.


Sad to say, it's too early to plant. And, of course, that makes me itchy. Trying desperately to avoid the local nurseries, tempting me with new flowers that will surely freeze ~ should I lose control and jump the gun.

So, while I'm spinning my wheels, waiting ever so impatiently for Memorial Day to come, here's a salute to the 10 hardest working perennials in my waterwise gardens. These gals bloom for at least 8 weeks, some 12 or 16 weeks. All are drought-tolerant, much-loved by hummingbirds, butterflies, and most everyone who bikes past the Street Garden.

This content is syndicated via RSS from the blog: Garden Amateur


Yesterday I was filled with trepidation about my very rare venture into cake-baking. And there's a simple reason for that. I didn't exactly follow the recipe (which I will give at the end of this posting). It was around step three that I went off the rails. This was the bit where you 'gently fold in' the lemon zest and the flour and the yoghurt. I was having so much fun with the electric egg-beaters that everything added got a thoroughly good whizzing with the Sunbeam Egg-o-Blaster (or whatever it's called), and so when I saw the 'gently fold in' bit, I recalled at that fateful moment that he or she who overbeats the batter gets all they deserve. Oh dear, such is the life of a baking newbie. Anyway, here's what happened next...

After 30 minutes it was looking alarmingly brown on
top, and as a skewer came out clean, that was good
enough for me. Notice that gentle dimpling in the
centre? (Stop sniggering, cake experts.) That developed
into a more serious looking sink-hole as it cooled
overnight. This is a 'Syrup cake' by the way, and so
I liberally splashed on most, but not all of, the lemon
flavoured sugar syrup, as the recipe says. I almost forgot to take a photo at this stage, such was
the panic about plating this up with the quinces and
the yoghurt, but here's how it looked. Notice the sinkhole?
It was moist but not fabulously moist, so I should have
added all that syrup, after all. However, it was a
moist cake, and lemony, and I am determined to make
it the right way next time round. Even with a newbie
in charge of the egg beaters, it worked out quite well.Forgive my lack of food styling skills, but here is the
cake, with the baked quinces (from yesterday's blog)
on the side. Fortunately, the quinces were so very
fragrant and delicious that all the cake's shortcomings
were forgotten at first bite. So I just barely survived my
rare foray into cake-baking by having something
much better on the plate which served as a distraction.Sorry about this photo, too, but I only
remembered to take a photo a bit late
in the piece. I am almost as happy with
this Greek yoghurt and honey as I was
with the quinces (notice how I've forgotten
about the cake already?). To make this
I lined an ordinary plastic kitchen strainer
with muslin, tipped in a 500g tub of
thick Greek yoghurt, set this over a bowl
and left it in the fridge overnight to drip,
drip drip away. It leaked about a cup
of liquid, and the resulting very very
firm, thick yoghurt looked superb.God bless Olga and Tina at Danas
Cafe and Deli on Illawarra Road,
Marrickville, as they stock all sorts of
very authentic Greek ingredients, such
as this Greek Thyme honey. Words
other than 'try it' fail me in doing
this fragrant honey justice. With the
yoghurt, all you need to do is drizzle
the honey all over the top of the white
yoghurt dome. Don't bother mixing it
in. It looks lovely with golden rivers
running down its sides.I won't go into all the details of how the whole lunch
went, but every time Pam and I get together with
Rema, Ravi, Eric and Jane there's lots of laughter
and time flies by so quickly. And the tagine was nice,
so too all the side dishes, and the quinces, yoghurt and
honey, plus the cake, finished things off sweetly.
I particularly like the way Pammy can
always find something in flower in the
garden to dress a table.Two other foodie highlights that worked well today.
For our green garden salad I scattered pomegranate
arils liberally all over the top, just before serving.
They looked so pretty and when I bought out this bowl
of 'leftover' arils not used in the salad, people started
scooping up more to scatter on their salad. A hit!Another minor hit was my spicy flatbread crisps.
As the main course was a Moroccan lamb tagine, for
the pre-lunch dips (hommos and baba ghannouj), as
well as using normal Lebanese flatbread, I set aside
a few to be turned into crisps. After cutting into
triangles, I sprayed each with light olive oil then
scattered them lightly with Moroccan spice mix.
Bake for just 5 minutes at 180°C and they not only
came out crisp but stayed that way all day.Overlooking all the fun was our little
Backyard Supervisor, White Rabbit. She
says: "Cake recipe, Jamie!"

Yoghurt Lemon Syrup Cake
This is from Pam's vast folder full of recipes. I know she clipped it out of the Herald's 'Good Weekend' magazine, but it might be from 2012 or 2001, for all I know.


125g butter, softened
200g (1 cup) caster sugar
3 eggs
zest of 1/2 lemon
200g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
200g (3/4 cup) natural yoghurt


Syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup water
150g (3/4 cup) caster sugar


20cm cake tin


Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cream the butter and caster sugar until pale and light. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Gently fold in the lemon zest and flour, then the yoghurt.
Use a spatula to scrape into a lined 20cm cake tin, making the centre a little lower than the edges,
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.


To make the syrup, heat the water, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and simmer for five minutes.


When the cake is cooked, leave it in the tin, poke a fine skewer all over the top (about 30 times should do it and spoon the hot lemon syrup over, trying to give the cake an even coverage of syrup.


Allow the cake to cool in the tin, before serving.

Woo hoo, it's autumn and quinces are back in season, and as I have guests coming around for lunch tomorrow, I thought I'd make the dessert today. And thanks to a great recipe by Brigitte Hafner which I found at the Sydney Morning Herald's Website, I now have some truly ruby-red quinces ready as part A of the dessert. Here's how it all went.

Let's start with the glowing rubies in their pot, after
five hours slowly changing colour in the oven.
But I am way, way ahead of myself, and so let's go back to the beginning...

Shop-bought quinces, all covered in
a dust-coloured down, called a
'bloom'. Sydney's climate is a bit too
warm for happy quince growing, and
so I am perfectly happy to just wait
patiently until autumn comes around
each year, and enjoy the three to
five months they are available
in our local fruit shops.If only they could invent a 'scratch and sniff' widget
for bloggers, as this spiced sugar syrup smelled
divine as it bubbled away. Like wandering through
a spice market in some faraway place. There's orange
peel, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, vanilla beans
and star anise, as well as roughly equal amounts of
water and caster sugar.Peeling and coring quinces is the boring bit, and it
does take time. These things are not smooth and
compliant like apples, but I find that a vegie knife
is a perfectly good peeler (it's quick, even if it does
slice off more flesh than a proper peeler). And the
cores can be quite firm, woody and tough, depending
on where you cut and the fruit itself. Make life easy
for yourself and buy biggish quinces, accept a bit of
wastage and trimming them isn't such a chore. And
don't discard the peels or cores, either (see below). Once peeled, quinces go brown faster than you can
say "Yikes, they're brown" so don't worry too much,
they all go very red in the end. Next step is to put
all the quinces into a big baking dish or big pot, and
cover them with the strained spiced sugar syrup.Next step is to cover the quinces with a layer of muslin.
Now, a word of warning for newbies with muslin...My friendly local dress fabrics shop told me to wash
then boil the muslin in water for a few minutes prior to
using it. This takes care of any unwanted particles
hanging around after the manufacturing process. Well,
that's what he said and so I believe him. Where were we?
That's right, cover the quinces with a layer of muslin.Remember all the peels and cores we retained? These
go over the muslin in a thick jumble layer.The recipe says then add a layer of baking paper.
Gosh she's keen, but I am a recipe-follower by nature,
so a layer of baking paper it is. But wait....Then a layer of foil, tucked in at the edges. None of
that syrup moisture is going to escape from this baby.For the complete overkill, the cast iron pot's lid goes
on top, and into a 160°C oven for five hours. A truly
wonderful aroma, spicy yet sweet, filled the house
this morning (did I tell you I like to cook in the
mornings? I started at 8 – morning all!)And five fragrant hours later we're back at the hero
shot of the delicious sweet rubies of flavour, ready for
tomorrow's little gathering.

Now, I will cheerfully admit to a certain amount of cowardice about the rest of this dessert, which I won't be blogging about just quite yet.


Lunch's main course is going to be a Moroccan lamb and vegetable tagine, with a spiced cooked carrot salad, saffron rice (instead of the ubiquitous couscous) and a green leaf garden salad on the side.


Dessert might just be baked quinces with honeyed yoghurt if the other part of the dessert goes badly. This is because I am also attempting to cook at Lemon Yoghurt Syrup Cake. Now, I am not a cake-baker at all, but I thought I'd give it a go. We'll know how it turns out when the cake cools down fully, later today, and I attempt to get it out of the tin. If it is a complete disaster, then it's quinces and yoghurt, folks. If it's a success and it's a light cake, spiced quinces and yoghurt. Wish me luck and I'll let you know how it all went, next time round.
