January 22, 2025 Tidying Up The Greenhouse *S3 E5* - 5 Minute Chit Chat with Sarah the Gardener
The real episode 5, last time I got ahead of myself. Yesterday the weather was horrible. The Eastly was howling a hoolie and we got 10mm of rain so no gardening was done.
But today was one of those magnificent blue-sky days and it got Hot! But it didn’t stop me, and more stuff got done. So I’m no track for a tip top garden for the February visits.

January 20, 2025 Working in zones *S3 E5* - 5 Minute Chit Chat with Sarah the Gardener
The new and improved sector zone system is working well, and the edible garden is pretty much back under control and now only needs a routine weed, path hoe, water and fortnightly liquid feed each time it’s turn comes around. Any extra time is for remedial work around the edges and soon for projects. I’m really happy with how it is coming along.

January 14, 2025 Making progress with weeds *S3 E3* - 5 Minute Chit Chat with Sarah the Gardener
Today I made another big push in sector 4 of the garden. Ordinarily I would have just done what I could on a Thursday and left what didn’t get done until next time, whenever that was… no wonder the edges got weedy.
But now after two days in sector 4, 4/5 of the edible garden are back to manageable and it feels good.

January 13, 2025 Gardening in a closed loop *S3 E2* - 5 Minute Chit Chat with Sarah the Gardener
After a great deal of thought, I have come up with some action plans to make the garden work better and smarter and hopefully be a lot less weedy. One of the ideas is to tackle the routine tasks in a closed loop, picking up where I last left off instead of starting the week back at the start. It is already making a difference and I’m excited for it.

January 07, 2025 New Year Garden Review *S3 E1* - 5 Minute Chit Chat with Sarah the Gardener
Happy New Year!
Although I’m in the midst of a growing season, the year has changed, and I’ve been doing a bit of reflection to assess how the garden coped in the last 12 months so I can ponder how I’ll take care of it in the next 12 months.
It’s been a while, things got a little hectic there towards the
end of the year, but with a new resolution I intend to pick up where I left off with more regular updates of all the interesting things going on in the garden.
