Useful websites

You might like to point your browser at Kay Gee's Global Garden website at www.global-garden.com.au . It has lots of useful tips.

Oh and don't miss the site of Permaculture Southern Highlands at http://www.permaculturesouthernhighlands.info/. There are lots of articles from the last fifteen years of the journal, The Permacultivator.

PS Thanks for the huge effort at the workshop today. Lettuce are tucked up and watered in the glasshouse. I guess we were a bit ambitious with intentions today but we still got lots done. Great to see all ages pitching in and getting dirty.
