Scarecrow's Garden
On-line journal for a productive food garden on the edge of the outback in arid South Australia.
With freezing cold winters (frosts to - 10C) followed by scorching summers (temps up to 45C we make use of any water we get (Av rainfall 330.2mm).
The garden beds are shaded (during summer), heavily mulched, humus rich and most are now converted to wicking worm beds (20 beds).
Despite this harsh climate we manage to grow much of our own food.

June Long Weekend
This is what happened...
The trial Potato patch, although well covered, still got frost burn which it may recover from as the plants are still alive..
The Yacon which was flowering last week...well isn't flowering anymore!
The last few ripening tomatoes, well...at least the fruit is still ok!
We had a great time with the Grandtwins...in their sandpit, on the slippery-dip, watching the birds in the trees and finding creatures...a Preying Mantis and a sleepy Bearded Dragon!
Little Micro-Man is now 8 weeks old!!!!
