Warrigal Greens (aka Native Spinach and NZ Spinach) is a native to Oz and NZ and is a sprawling salt-tolerant perennial which spreads well and also generates very effectively from seeds. It's really rather tasty, but like perennial spinach, is high in oxalates and needs to be blanched and rinsed...

Hi there, I've been so busy the last couple of days and I hope you all don't mind me harking back to a previous post, but throught I'd add some ideas. We are also in Sydney, close to a national park and down a 40m metre driveway which at the starts includes bushland where, every year, a male...

Hope you got through it ok. We're in NW suburbs of Sydney and it got to 44C in our backyard. I have one of those misters set up in the run but I wasn't certain it would be enough for my 4 x 30-week-olds..... so I brought them into a spare, airconditioned bathroom. Took them back out at 7am this...
