treattrackers have two nice new friends, Sarah and Julia. They're fellow food bloggers and there's is called iatebrisbane. Sarah served us the most beautiful simple lunch when we visited - freshly baked no knead rye bread with home-grown tomatoes, dukkah, and balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It was delicious.
We went to see Sarah and Darren's suburban backyard at Michelton. They grow most of their own vegies and have their own chooks. It is amazing to see how much one family can do in a normal backyard.
David's doing an article on eating throughout the four seasons in Brisbane, and Sarah's garden is perfect because she's also a fabulous cook. They have everything here, and hubby Darren likes the idea of random planting. It confuses the pests. They use no chemicals and have 'sacrificial plants'. These they let the pests damage on purpose so that they leave other ones alone.
Everything in the garden looks so healthy and interesting. Sarah loves to potter around with her toddler in tow. It gets the young Mum out of the house and into the yard and they love adding their produce to their family meals.
I'm also totally inspired by Sarah and her backyard :)
