I know what is happening to my garden - possums and wallabies... much as I love them it would be nice not to have everything mown down each evening. I guess I will have to add a roof over the vegie patch! Happy gardening, Tamsin

Pumpkin Jack, with great illustrations, from Jack O'lantern to seed to pumpkin again. A great picture book was a favorite when my daughter was 3 years old....she still loves it at 9 years old.

Hi, I wondered if anyone had any storybooks they find kids really like, to do with growing things or garden related in any way - both fiction and non-fiction? Stories seem like such a great way to get kids excited about the world around them. One bo…

Hi Tamsin,
Welcome to KGI. Please join our gardening in Australia group.
There are are a few of us Aussies in KGI.
 
 

KG Day - Help us choose a date!

Kitchen Garden Day has traditionally been celebrated at the end of August which is a great time for gardens in temperate, northern climates but not a great time for many other gardeners around the world (e.g. August is winter in the southern hemisphere, monsoon season in India, too hot for many gardeners in southern states, etc.).

We're exploring the possibility of changing the date to the spring and would like your input. Please answer our poll here.

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again

Forum Policy

Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.

I would be happy to hear any comments you may have.  This is very much a work in progress so plese feel free to ask me to add anything you think is needed.
