How was your long weekend? I had lots of family time across the weekend and that always fills my tank. It’s funny how quickly the week following a long weekend vaporises and suddenly we find ourselves at Friday again. I am transmitting to you from the lovely mid North Coast of New South Wales where I am up to my earlobes celebrating with the local community up here.

Costa tours heritage gardens at Retford Park, Jane shares gardening wisdom with a beginner, Clarence talks to refugees growing food and roots, Millie propagates new plants, Sophie plants a bulb lasagne and Jerry shows how to manage pests with organic sprays.
