Who vaccuums in your house? It's sure as hell not me. I get bored half way through a room and try to mix it up by vaccuuming another room, find I'm out of cord, swear, plug it i…

Something that's fascinated me for as long as I can remember is history and archeology. Our small school didn't offer history as an exam option, so their approach to teaching it wa…

Floor update! I think some of you are waiting for it after a few dramas we had doing it. Three weeks of hell, really (we were working as well). Think twice, my friends, before reno…

Hive folk going schizo? Garden. Genocide? Garden. Knife attacks? Garden. House won't sell? Garden. You get the idea. It's why us gardeners get hands in the soil. It's suprisingly l…

I have fond memories of my Nana (grandmother), taking cuttings from shrubs, whenever we went to visit any gardens or grounds, on our Sunday outings, when I was a child. I remember …

Perhaps families are like little fireworks, exploding and dying. Genetic sparks of colour and awe which fizzle in the grass. I think of how I grew up, and had a child, who was ha…

I'm making scrap soup and thinking about entropy. Let's start with the basics - scrap soup is made from green or brown lentils, and whatever I have in the fridge or garden. Beet…

Once upon a time, I was a yogi. This won't come as a suprise for those who've known me here forever. Since being on chain, I've even done my yoga teacher training. I was obsessed…

There's a break I surf a lot - it's as familiar to me as the back of my hand. The surf wraps around the point where there's a small reef and then slides down the protected bay all …

# What is their favorite thing to grow, or area of expertise? Did they influence your own gardening journey and in what way? ![20221012_101145.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/p…

Yurts are the hottest thing at Itínera these days. Let me rephrase that, since we are in a pretty hot place ourselves: **Yurts are the coolest thing at Itínera these days!** ![20…

This, my friends, is what comes of going loopy from renovating a house. Hopefully next weekend we'll finally be painting the floors. I thought I'd introduce you to a few of my new …

This is a photo of my parents in their acre-large garden in the '80s. Dad had a nice moustache that carried through to the early '90's. They are sitting in Mum's herb garden where…

<p>I was thinking today about Monty Python’s <em>Dead Parrot</em> sketch. </p> <center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dbooster/AKPmsvJpM6KUWrkyfW1tufvShjZfW5K5PN…

Poor Jamie - after three weeks painting walls, he's now Colonel Sanders. Two days so far and we're still not done. I say we - Jim sanded and I went surfing for three hours. Neit…

This week the Hive Garden Question of the Week is all about *easy* grows, so if you're new to gardening, listen up. I'm a huge believer in *everyone* growing food, even if it's som…

They say you have free will, but whether I landed here freely or not is debatable. We're like butterflies buffeted by the wind, landing tattered. We start flying with some idea o…
