Edible Weeds Talk at Belgrave Library

For those of you who haven't yet come across it, one of the best little reference books I recommend to people who complain about weeds is Edible Weeds and Garden Plants of Melbourne by Doris Pozzi.

For those of you who are interested in learning more and chatting with Doris, she regularly visits the local libraries in Melbourne to give talks and also conducts weed walks throughout the area.

Her next talk at Belgrave Library will be on Thursday 20th September at 2pm.

This is a free event and a very popular one, so please book now if you are interested!

Weeds: a revisit

I've just come back to writing this blog after a bit of an absence, and found that my views on some things have grown and, perhaps, matured.

For example, the What are weeds? post I wrote originally for the purposes of the HomeOne forum and then duplicated here.

Since writing it, I have decided I am in fact happy to have dandelions in my veg and flower beds too!  

What are weeds?

This one is the second of my HomeOne posts I wanted to share with you :)

According to my grandad, a weed is simply something that grows where you don't want it to. So, the most beautiful rose could be a weed, if it's growing in your brussel sprouts!
