Firstly, let me apologize for my lack of writing over the last 6 weeks… I have been so focused on getting my market garden happening while the kids are off school that I have let a few things slide, this being one of them(the washing 😟).

So, today while the heat is on and the fact that I got a MEGA sunburn yesterday while watering my poor trees I thought that I would write what I have been doing lately…

Here it is, Gardening, parenting, watering, cooking, repeat!! That is pretty much it…

That sounds pretty mundane, doesn’t it??

It hasn’t been thought, in fact, It has been AWESOME… The Organic Hippy market garden has started to get people interested and that to me is FABULOUS. Parenting, well that never stops, so I make it as much fun as possible to avoid the boredom of the same s*&t different day scenario. and well watering in this heat means fun obviously, the kids use water pistols to help water me well I water the garden (okay, I get them back with the hose…SSHH). Cooking, I have been making chutney, jam, real-ish, and sauces every evening with all the wonderful excess produce that we haven’t given away or eaten.

Yep, I have been loving the tuned out computer break and grounding myself into the earth gathering the amazing positive vibrations and realignment while creating an AMAZING edible TOTALLY organic garden ( the water is from the river, not chlorinated town water).

Unplugging to achieve goals that have been long-standing and spending quality time with my children over the holidays has been like a really long, chilled out yoga season for me. I feel invigorated and relaxed and more to the pointless confused than the end of last year left me.

I pushed myself to try and do a video on youtube every week, which can be difficult when you run out of things to say ( I know, it’s not like me to say nothing). I love writing for my blog and the magazines I contribute to but, towards the end of the year, I started to find that I was suffering a bit of writer’s block.

Spreading myself to thin, feeling guilty over not spending enough fun time with the kids, quality time with Stu, and worrying about others in our life I started to get depleted. I started to feel like I was a shell that had nothing left to offer.

So many people go through this and it depends on the length of time that they have felt like this and struggled through it as to how long it can take to re-bound into normality.

I have wanted to do this market garden for ten years and just haven’t had the financial, ability or some other reason to achieve what the dream has been. This is when you begin to think that you (me) has nothing left to offer, nothing left to do, nothing left to gain.

This is never the case, everyone, and I mean everyone, goes through this type of thing and we all still have a lot to offer. whether that is to ourselves or others.

Achieving and passing on good quality organic foods to people and my own family is something that we have been doing on a small scale for years. This year, however, I am wanting to add more gardens (finances dependant) so that I can get GORGEOUS organic foods to more people at great prices.

My mission is to have people eat organic without the over-inflated prices that organics charge.

We are not going to get certified as the government charges businesses $2500 a year to hold the certification and then takes a percentage of sales. This means that we would have to increase prices and that just ain’t cool man.

So, although we are all organic from seed to table, we don’t do certification, just an invite for those needing to see how we grow, do soil tests if they like and if they really want to work in the garden for the day ( most people decline this and choose to have a coffee instead…)

So, there you have it, I am TOTALLY hippieing out in the garden and cooking awesome stuff (got a new oven 😃 ).

If you want to try some of the Organic Hippy Products head to my online store …..

Stay AWESOME everyone..
